@PeterJones said in Notepad++ v8.9.2 Release: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/17540 Thanks. I should know better… I forgot to search closed issues, not just open ones.

FYI, v8.9.2 RC has been updated to RC2: https://github.com/donho/notepad-plus-plus/releases/tag/RC2 See original announcement for more information.

@PeterJones Fixed. Thank you for reminding me!

@donho I updated from 8.8.8 and after the first launch of Notepad++ the error “Load lang.xml failed!” occured once (exe-installer on latest Windows 11).

FYI For the security reason, the https://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/ will be shutdown for some days. It might be back online next year.

@Andrea-Gaviraghi More results from allowing updates on MSI package. The 8.8.8 MSI pulls the update from Notepad++ and it then installs the 8.8.9 executable. So again, the computer shows 2 installs, when only the newest is really installed. This process should be a lot cleaner…

@donho Sometimes there are users (like me) that do some silly thing, that are not expected. In version 8.6 a new style had been introduced: “Multi selected text colour”. The effect for me was, that in column-select mode the selection was shown only partially (last line only). It took me some time to find out what was my fault. I use a personalised style, where the default background colour happens to have the value “C0C0C0”, the same value as the background for this new style. Therefore I could not see the selection because it had the same bg-colour as the rest of my text. For “Selected text colour” I use the value “A0A0A0”; after applying this value to the new style, it worked again. I know, it is really a very special case, but it may happen. A similar situation might arise with other changes in the future. For these cases it would help to have a backup for comparison.

@PeterJones Thanks, Peter, for the detailed instructions. Now, Notepad++ V8.8.9 launches, as expected. Murray

FYI, v8.8.8 RC has updated to RC2 to enhance the security of auto-update.

@donho , And it updated flawlessly. Thank you for getting that smoothed out. When things like that, act up, it gives users the heebee jeebees. :-)

@xomx Well spotted! With the signtool, I passed the argument /as to signed with both the first certif and the 2nd one - that makes the duplication signature on binaries when the script runs morn than 1 time. I just fixed the script to pass /a to sign with the first certif and /as with the 2nd one. More info: /a Select the best signing cert automatically. SignTool will find all valid certs that satisfy all specified conditions and select the one that is valid for the longest. If this option is not present, SignTool will expect to find only one valid signing cert. /as Append this signature. If no primary signature is present, this signature will be made the primary signature instead. The explanation is not explicite for /a. In my experience, usage of this parameter removes all the signatures before signing with the certificate. The problem of signature duplication is fixed in RC2: https://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/8.x/8.8.7.RC2/ edit: with some tests, it turns out that the argument /a does nothing for the first signing - without /a it still removes all signatures before signing.
