Unfortunately, with that, there comes some slowdown in the editor that is visible with an increased CPU usage and having the scrolling and animations being slower. I put great effort the past 3 weeks profiling the code and providing all the necessary information to the original Lite XL team, as well as Capehill who is responsible for the SDL3 port to AmigaOS 4, and BeWorld who does the same for MorphOS.</em></p><p>If you’re interested in getting the hold of the new version, it can be freely download from OS4Depot via the link below:</p><p><a href="https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/text/edit/litexl2.lha" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/text/edit/litexl2.lha</a></p><p>Thanks again for visiting my <a href="https://oldschoolgameblog.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">blog</a>!
