Auto-update is triggered for v8.9.1.
Note that auto-update doesn’t work when updating from v8.8.9 to v8.9.1 or later versions.
Version 8.8.9 will download the installer, but it will not launch the v8.9.1 or any newest installer, because v8.8.9 attempts to verify the old Notepad++ auto-signed certificate (which was removed since v8.9) instead of GlobalSign’s certificate.
