@Ekopalypse said in Notepad++ v8.8.4 Release Candidate: Does that mean if you are using 8.8.2 you can’t use the plugin admin to install plugins without unlocking gup.exe first? Because I just checked again and I can. Weird. I had assumed that if the MotW existed on gup.exe, it wouldn’t run. But no, with v8.8.2 portable, if gup.exe has MotW, Plugins Admin will still install plugins; but on v8.8.3 portable and v8.8.4-RC2 portable, if gup.exe has MotW, Plugins Admin will not install plugins

@Craig-Harbison said in Notepad++ v8.8.2 Release: I have both 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 versions. they both work fine on my Win10 laptop but neither will read or let me edit my json files on my new Win11 laptop. Really sucks. I can read and edit JSON just fine with both those versions. I doubt it’s a regression, but we can help you investigate what’s going wrong for you if you start a new Topic to discuss it. If it does end up finding a problem with Notepad++, we can then direct you to the right location to inform the developer. If you really want help figuring out your problem, please go to the Help Wanted category, click New Topic, and write a detailed post: list your exact steps for how you are trying to read or edit JSON (ie, how you are opening the files, where the files are located, whether on your local drive, a USB drive, a network drive, etc) and what messages or circumstances indicate to you that the JSON file is not being read or edited? Please also go to your ? menu on the right of the Notepad++ menu bar, and click Debug Info, and Copy debug info to clipboard, and paste that in your new topic.

@donho , worked without a hitch or a hiccup. No problems with the update on my Standard Install version.

@datatraveller1 Awesome. You are the best!

Just to mention, for people using Intune to deploy notepad++. if you activate the “managed installers” option, any apps not signed wil lbe signed with a valid certificate and therefore users don’t have popup for the “unknown publisher”. I think you can do the same with SCCM. Will not help regular users, but jsut in case.

@donho said in Notepad++ v8.8 Release: @Neymar44 The bug has been fixed in v8.8.1. Here is v8.8.1 RC: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/26833/notepad-v8-8-1-release-candidate The glitch indeed disappeared in the last 8.8.1 RC, thank you !

Another regression has been found here: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/26815/notepad-v8-8-release/4?_=1746291034345 The regression has been fixed in the new binaries: http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/8.x/8.8.1.RC2/

@schnurlos https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v88-we-are-with-ukraine/ gives an Error 404 (link within “F1” Info). It’s because v8.8 is still in RC state. It will be on line in few hours.

@mkupper Thanks, those 2 links provide reasonable “guess-timates” re: what to expect in the next release. Murray

@donho , That fixed that issue, thanks.

Possible v8.7.8 regression: GitHub issue #16250 .

@xomx , Understood. I wouldn’t want to rush stability, but I agree with your assessment that it’s a straight forward fix that I don’t think would affect anything else but what’s intended, but I can wait if need be. Thanks again for the help with unraveling this while I was trying to find out the actual issue at the heart of the problem.
