             <p>The <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/text/CloneableEditorSupportRedirector.html">CloneableEditorSupportRedirector</a> 
             class allows a redirection of operations on a <code>CloneableEditorSupport</code>
             object to another one. This can be useful if there are two logical
             files representing one physical and one wants to have just a single
             editor for both files. In such case just implement the

            <p>A <code>messageHtmlName</code> method has been added to
            CloneableEditorSupport to allow for display names with html tags.
            CloneableEditor uses this new method to set its html display name 
            correctly. Also <code>DataEditorSupport</code> now overrides 
            <code>messageHtmlName</code> to connect with <code>Node.getHtmlDisplayName</code>.</p>

      <description>
        <p>
        It has been found that <code>CloneableEditorSupport.notifyModified</code>
        is called more often than it should. It used to be called after every
        keystroke, which is bad, as its return value could not be honored - 
        it is not possible to prevent modification when the document is already
        modified. Now the method is called only on first modification of the
        document and if it returns false, the modification is not allowed.
        <br/>
        This may be incompatible for clients that relied on the often calls.
        Such clients need to be fixed.

       New method that returns an InputStream which reads the current data
       from the editor, taking into account the encoding of the file. 
       The returned InputStream contains the same data as if the file was written 
       out to the disk. Useful when interacting with a tool that expects an InputStream,
       and the current (possibly modified) content of the editor is desired.

        Added declaration to javadoc of the method
        <code>NbDocument.findLineOffset()</code> can throw an unchecked
        <code>IndexOutOfBoundsException</code>. The method could throw 
        the exception also before (and also other kinds of them see the issue),
        but it was not declared in javadoc. This change makes it compliant
        to use with standard Swing text package and also with
        <code>Line.Set.getCurrent()</code> method.

<h1>Introduction</h1>
<h2>What do the Dates Mean?</h2>
<p>The supplied dates indicate when the API change was made, on the CVS
trunk. From this you can generally tell whether the change should be
present in a given build or not; for trunk builds, simply whether it
was made before or after the change; for builds on a stabilization
branch, whether the branch was made before or after the given date. In
some cases corresponding API changes have been made both in the trunk
and in an in-progress stabilization branch, if they were needed for a
bug fix; this ought to be marked in this list.</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>release41</code> branch was made on Apr 03 '05 for use in the NetBeans 4.1 release.
Specification versions: 6.0 begins after this point.</li>
<li>The <code>release40</code> branch was made on Nov 01 '04 for use in the NetBeans 4.0 release.
Specification versions: 5.0 begins after this point.</li>
