Notepad++ v8.7.9 release - We are with Ukraine

2025-04-02

I received a lot of feedback regarding the previous release, v8.7.8, titled “We are with Ukraine”. While some expressed gratitude, the majority consisted of ridicule and insults. I sincerely apologize for any discomfort or anger the last version may have caused. As a gesture of my sincere apologies, the latest release, v8.7.9, continues to show support for Ukraine.

In the 8.7.9 release, due to fixes for two syntax highlighting regressions, some performance improvements for handling large files from versions 8.7.8 and 8.7.7 have been reverted.
You can check the list of new enhancements and bug fixes, and download version 8.7.9 here:
