Could you do a new release of text-engine? There are commits from 2022.

I noticed because https://github.com/mjakeman/text-engine/pull/36 fixes some new compiler errors seen with gcc-14 which some distros have switched to now.

@mjakeman New release would be nice.

Hey sorry, I appear to have completely missed this issue.

I'll tag a new release this weekend for text-engine, although as a heads up, it will probably be the last.

Unfortunately my plans for a GTK native rich text editor never really panned out, and I don't have the time to maintain this library anymore.

I have a mostly finished rewrite in Zig that lives in-tree inside my game engine, but due to distribution problems with Zig (e.g. it still doesn't run on Asahi Linux), it's not suitable for Extension Manager which makes that a bit of a dead end.

Re: Extension Manager, my plan is to inline a simple HTML viewer into it and deprecate this library from the next release (cc @oscfdezdz)
