There is a changelog file in the cvs repository
http://nedit.cvs.sourceforge.net/nedit/nedit/

I know what you think about adding new features, but just consider
that there is no good way to move tabs in 5.5 other than to close
and re-open documents or to detach and re-attach tabs somehow. If
you have a window with
    |tab1|tab2|tab3|tab4|
    
just try to transform it into
    |tab3|tab1|tab2|tab4|
    
IMHO this is really missing (even curious that it isn't there) and
it annoyed me time and again so that I added two action routines to
TK's drag'n drop patch (actual drag'n drop isn't supported by
lesstif, which I use on Windows) called move_document_left() and
move_document_right(), so executing two time move_document_left(),
when |tab3| is active, yields the preceding result quickly.


More harmless things missing would be to add a Save All macro and a
Restore Last Session macro. These macros could be removed again when
another solution is there, eg adding a Save All to the File Menu.
