      Discontinued support for Windows XP due to technical reasons. NP++ 7.9.2 is the last version to run on Windows XP.

      A little bit long but it’s more clear.
      OK, it’ll be in the change.log which comes with the new release.

      Hi Don, my post is just meant as a suggestion, you can modify it to suit your needs of course. The fact that the previous version 7.9.2 does run on Windows XP is quite obvious, so that bit of information could be scrapped.

      Shorter alternative:

      1. Discontinued support for Windows XP due to technical reasons.

      Even shorter, but comes off a little rude:

      1. Discontinued support for Windows XP.

        Yes, of course - but it’s good because “7.9.2 is the last version to run on Windows XP” is said explicitly.
        “due to technical reasons” is well said also so people won’t ask why.

          There’s also this new thing: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/SUPPORTED_SYSTEM.md

            Yes. But once the sentence Notepad++ 7.9.2 is the last version to run on Windows XP is in change log of download page, users search with keywords “notepad++” & “XP” will find “Notepad++ 7.9.2 is the last version to run on Windows XP”, which is a direct information.

            I did SUPPORTED_SYSTEM.md because people ask me all the time about Notepad++ OS support table. It will contain more detail information.

              Ok, so the installer indeed shows an error on Windows XP (I had only Russian version):

              The updater won’t run on XP as well:

              Also, there is a new “No update” dialog with a link that can be added to the changelog:

                When using 7.9.3 and a Lexer plugin I wrote, the styling does not work, 7.9.2 works.
                With 7.9.3 the lexer is not selected at all, instead the “normal text” lexer is used.
                Do you have any idea what changes were made in 7.9.3 that might be worth investigating to understand what is going on?

                  Not yet.
                  Could you pass your lexer plugin URL and example code please ?

                    Thank you.
                    It is uploaded here.

                    Here is how it looks like in 7.9.2 and 7.9.3

                      Damn it, sorry, I 've found it. There is was a hanging 7.9.3 process, once I killed it 7.9.3 behaves the same way as 7.9.2

                        Upgrade Notepad++ License: update GPL version from v2 to v3.

                        At least in npp.7.9.3.portable.x64.zip, the license.txt still lists GPL version 2.

                            I just realized I’ve forgotten to include the last version of Notepad++ plugin list into RC.

                            The binaries are updated in the same URL now:

                              Sorry I didn’t read it. Indeed, it’ll be added in the change log of release.

                                  Fortunately :)

                                  Thank people who have tested 7.9.3 RC.
                                  The release will be available in a couple of hours.
