Notepad++ 6.8.1 released

Source Code Pro in v6.8 could cause your Windows hanging due to some (graphic card?) drivers’ problem. In v6.8.1 Notepad++ include Source Code Pro’s ttf (font files) instead of otf. That solves this hanging issue. As well, text/source code display under Source Code Pro is improved by adding its bold, italic and bold-italic fonts in this release. A lot of bugs are fixed in this version. Please check download page for the further information.

Hi Don.
The “Restore recent close file” menu voice still result into be in english when you start notepadd++. It seems to remain correctly translated when you apply a translation from settings, but revert back to english whenever you close the program and start it again :)

I see also after the update to 6.8.1 a complete freezing of my Windows 7 system.
I never had such freezing system before the update to NP++ 6.8, and I don’t see other software changes at the moment on the box that can cause the trouble. Is there any information I can provide to debug the problem? I had 3 times now the case that I only could hard reset the box as even after 10-15 min nothing happened.

@Carsten-Segieth , Try to disable all plugins (move all .dll files from notepad++ plugins folder to disabled folder or simply rename plugins folder to something else) and test to see if the issue is still present. Then write back the result.

I had the same issue. Reinstalling the DSpellCheck plugin did the trick.

It could be the Source Code Pro font issue.
Please use 6.8.3 in which this issue is solved.
