QScintilla v1.7 has been released and is available at the usual place.

>From the NEWS file...

  - Merged Scintilla v1.71.
  - Added support for triple clicking.
  - Ctrl-D now duplicates the selection rather than the current line.
  - The setSelectionBackgroundColor(), setMarkerBackgroundColor() and
    setCaretLineBackgroundColor() methods of QextScintilla now respect the
    alpha component of the background colour.
  - Added defaultColor(), setDefaultColor(), defaultPaper() and
    setDefaultPaper() to QextScintillaLexer.
  - Added color(), paper(), setColor() and setPaper() to QextScintilla.
  - Added cancelList(), isListActive(), showUserList() and userListActivated()
    to QextScintilla.
  - Added setWrapVisualFlags(), WrapMode::WrapCharacter and WrapVisualFlag to
    QextScintilla.
  - Added isCallTipActive(), firstVisibleLine(), lexer() and textHeight() to
    QextScintilla.
  - QextScintilla::foldAll() can now optionally fold all child fold points.
  - Auto-completion lists can now be generated from the current document and
    API files at the same time.  Added autoCompletionFillupsEnabled(),
    autoCompleteFromAll(), setAutoCompletionFillupsEnabled() and
    setAutoCompletionStartCharacters() to QextScintilla.
  - The QextScintillaLexerPython class now handles decorators.
  - The QextScintillaLexerRuby class has significant and incompatible changes
    to its configurable styles.

Python bindings are included in PyQt v3.17.

QScintilla v1.x requires Qt v3.x. QScintilla v2.x (currently available as 
development snapshots) will have an similar but incompatible API and will 
support both Qt v3.x and v4.x.

This is expected to be the last release of QScintilla v1.x.
