Not sure why we should skip 4 just because 5 comes soon. That doesn't mean we have to make a release containing 4 though, but we can gather experience in preparation for 5.
In my local branch scintilla 4 required no changes to Geany itself so it's a no-brainer. On the other hand, nobody knows for sure when 5 will be released, so why artificially wait? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
