    @albrecht-hilker said in Notepad++ v8.3 release:

    So why dont you release it marked as a beta version ?

    Because this is the sequence that the developer usually follows:

    Develop updates Submit as Release Candidate (RC) version Wait for feedback from those users who are willing to download a RC version Iterate 1-2 until no “critical regressions” are reported Release as official version Wait for feedback from those users who are willing to download the released version without waiting for auto-update to be triggered (much larger number of people) Do a faster loop back to step 1 if critical regressions found after #4 If no critical regressions found in #5, then trigger auto-update

    The goal is for critical regressions to be found in #2 (the equivalent of “beta”), but not enough users download the RC/beta versions, so sometimes critical regressions are not found until #5. This happened to be one of those cases. Since the developer likes a fast-paced release cycle anyway, he feels that the current process works reasonably well – and the delay between #4 and #7 prevents “too many” people from downloading the release if a critical regression is found within a week or two of release.

    I don’t find what I said uncordial.
    What is being asked for IS dumb, especially given the high number of regressions in Notepad++ new releases over the last so many months.
    I wouldn’t be surprised if the poster did go there and read it, and realize, “Yes, what I asked for truly is dumb”. It really doesn’t have to do with being asked repeatedly.

    @xomx ,

    I tried it once I got home: yes, it’s working correctly now: the Comment definition correctly displays, and if I make a change in one of the other boxes and exit, they all get saved, and the Comment definition stays intact.

    Thanks for the fix!

    @michael-vincent said in Notepad++ v8.3.1 Release Candidate:

    I suspect if you use the installer it will work. Otherwise, you’ll need to go into the settings and change it manually like we did in this version.

    Use installer to upgrade old version of Notepad++ won’t make the set value restored to default value, because config.xml won’t be erased by Installer. Change this option manually via Preference dialog is the only way to (re)set this value.

    @peterjones said in Notepad++ v8.2.1 Release:

    Why are you still fighting this semantic argument?

    I wasn’t, I was explaining why I was using a term that wasn’t explicitly used in the doc. You didn’t seem to understand why I was using the term “default” (which made sense because the doc excerpts that I was referencing didn’t use it), so I gave an explanation of why it was still an appropriate term to use in this context.

    Maybe the time has come for a reset of plugin compatibility, with a revised set of standards which Notepad++ and plugins need to adhere to.

    IMO, the management of plugin compatibility is for plugins which cannot run previous certain versions, for example a plugin cannot be loaded/run under v7.8.4 and the previous versions because the API used by the plugin in question was introduced from v7.8.5.

    In our actual situation, I don’t see how the plugin compatibility management can help, since the plugins are supposed to work in current version of Notepad++ and its future versions.

    Dark Mode Bug: You cannot tell what you have highlighted in the Search Results window. This appears to be because the whole line gets highlighted as the same color as the “I clicked and dragged my mouse to select 1 word from this line” color

    @donho said in Notepad++ v8.1.9.2 Release:

    Using the disk icons in dark mode as option is a reasonable feature request

    Ugh. Notepad++ moves out of the dark ages, then (possibly) moves back into it. Diskette icons should just be retired, at least in new modes like dark mode.

    If you’re going to keep the diskette icons, at least go to the effort and fix the LONGSTANDING bug I mentioned above where you can’t tell an inactive icon is readonly.

    @donho Well it’s too late now, but there’s a link to the github above and on the release notes page, and the discussion included a link to test versions / a server download folder.

    Hello!
    You can do it so that you can navigate with one mouse click in the “List of Functions” and “Folder as Project” windows. Double click is now implemented.
    Sorry for my English.
