Textadept 6.6 has been released. Changelog located here[1].

Textadept is a cross-platform text editor written using Scintilla 
and GTK/ncurses, with Lua as its scripting engine.

This version has an updated D LPeg[2] lexer which does a few nice 
things like highlighting certain identifiers when they appear in 
version and __traits expressions. The syntax highlighting has 
also been updated for the 2.063 language changes such as the 
addition of __MODULE__ and __vector.[3]

[3] Of course it doesn't properly support HEREDOC strings, but 
then again, nothing does.

What exactly is the difference against e.g. Scite? I can see it uses
GTK for windowing, which I'm not a fan of, but that's just a nitpick.
Does it have any cool features that are not present in Scite?

Textadept places a large emphasis on scripting. There are only 
2.4k lines of C in the project. Most of the editor's features are 
actually written in Lua. The API is very extensive.[1]
