FYI: I just updated RC4 binaries with the fix: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/9b558895e744601842ffdaff4679467863b9722d Sorry for the inconvenience.

@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. :-)
