After the release of version 2.8 by Joseph Allen in 1995, the development for several years came to a halt. In 2001, a new group of enthusiasts headed by Marek Grac the development back on and corrected many errors and introduced a standardized build system. 2004 came back to the original author and project released version 3.0, the syntax highlighting and UTF -8 support introduced.
