2022-12-25

Hope you will enjoy your Xmas gift Notepad++ 8.4.8 release.

Elon Musk buys out the service of Santa Claus, fires 200 000 lutins, and makes children pay for their letters. (source)

Rich people think they can buy everything. But no, the service of Santa Claus is unvaluable. Personally, I take a part of responsibility of Santa Claus to deliver Notepad++ with 0 charge, and guarantee all letters/emails from the IT people and devs will remain free (for feature requests, they have to sit on my lap to wish their wanted features though).

Marry Xmas!

There are a lot of dark mode enhancement in this release, here are 2 main features: 1. “Follow Windows dark/light mode” feature. 2. toolbar, tabbar and theme choices are remembered for 2 modes separately, and changed while 2 modes being switched.

The menu & context menu enhancedment: The context menu for tab, Run & Macro menu could be customized via XML files.

A inconsistent behaviour of Notepad++ while Windows forcing to restart is fixed.

There are more bug fixes and new added enhancements. Get more info about this release or download v8.4.8 here:

”…but for the Russian Army to completely pull out, more cannons and shells are needed.” (from Zelensky’s Speech Before Congress)

We (people) cannot provide cannons and shells, but we can donate drones (or at least, we can donate for Ukraine civil people in suffer). Let’s keep helping Ukraine
