Notepad++ 7.5.7 release

Claudia Frank

Hi Don,
thank you for the new version and your ongoing hard work to make it even better and better.

May I ask your opinion on this issue? If you think it is not really relevant as this shouldn’t be done during npp runtime lifetime, I will close it.

Thank you
Claudia

Thx for the new release.
Scintilla 4.1.0 has been marked as stable.
Do you think now is a good time to upgrade scintilla.

Hi, any chance to fix this regression? It’s really annoying when we use NPP with other tools and syntax detect for files doesn’t work properly.

I checked it once again and looks like it was fixed in 7.5.6 but no one inform us in my bug on github so thx for fix and I close this bug.

@donho There is a modification in plugin distribution with this version not mentioned in the release notes at all. This breaks compatibility with PluginManager.
DSpellcheck is still 1.3.5 with https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases/tag/v1.4.5 to be the current one.

Which one? Could you provide me more detail?

The plugin dlls are no longer directly located under the plugin folder, but have a subfolder named like the plugin, e.g. …\plugins\DSpellCheck.dll is now …\plugins\DSpellCheck\DSpellCheck.dll

The loading behaviour is retro-compatible, but indeed the new plugin file system is applied to the new release.

There is a regression that reopens https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/2347

The plugin menu is no longer sorted alphabetically.

This broke the ÅÄÖ, when encrypting/decrypting messages with notepad++

Vitaliy Dovgan

Did somebody understand the last comment? What is broken? Where? How messages are encrypted and decrypted in Notepad++? I don’t have any idea.

The Queue Overflow Bug has reappeared. I am getting slow response times and finally a small dialog with “Queue Overflow”. This is the version I downloaded and installed yesterday, 2018-07-10.

Hi there,

Thanks for Notepad++ and for the new version.
This seems to be a new bug:
In 7.5.7 when I open .js files the function list does not work (stays empty). In 7.5.6 the problem does not occur.

Thank you,
Wouter

I just installed 32-bit 7.5.7 on Win7 Pro, and it reliably crashes when closing the last file or the app itself, and randomly at other times (but also when opening or closing files). This is entirely atypical for this great product. I will try downgrading to the previous version and see what happens.

Downgrading to 7.7.6 removed this annoying tendency to crash - it must be something you guys did in 7.5.7. I will stay with 7.5.6 for now.

Anyway, thanks for the great work!

Installed Notepad++ v7.5.7 (64bit) on reset Windows 10 Pro system on July 4. Function List is not working with Perl. It does work with other languages that I’ve tried (C, javascrpt), but not Perl. I tried using a functionList.xml from previous version, but still doesn’t work with Perl.
Before I reset my system (reinstalled Windows), I did have function list working with 7.5.6, but I can’t seem to get it back.

Ever since I installed the update I cannot replace ellipses with … For some reason this causes my file to go haywire. If I try to change three full stops (rather than an ellipse) to … the whole file just becomes …
Never had this problem before so will be downgrading.

Hello, @helen-smith,

If you don’t mind, some questions, first :

What was your previous N++ version ? I suppose that your downloaded one is the latest ( v7.5.7. ) ?
Probably, when mentioning ellipses, you’re speaking about the horizontal ellipsis ( of Unicode value \x{2026}). Refer below :

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf

Could you provide the Debug Info information ( Menu ? > Debug Info... )

( BTW, it’s funny to see that, in all software, a sub-dialog/window is, generally, announced with 3 dots as, for instance, File > Print... instead of the syntax File > Print… ! )

Which is the current encoding of the file, where you want to replace ellipses with usual dots ? ( Have a look to the right part of the status bar, downwards )
Is the ellipsis character correctly displayed or do you see a white or black square or a question mark, meaning that you current font cannot display its glyph, properly ?
Why do you need to do such search/replacement ?

See you later,

Best Regards,
