@donho ,

Looking good.

I very much appreciate #3 (falling back to old-style icons when a plugin doesn’t supply the new structure).

@donho,

I just stumbled on the fact that in the 8.1.4 64bit portable download, the overrideMap.xml doesn’t list the new typescript as ID=85; when I look at commit 9a3152f , it shows that line added to PowerEditor/installer/filesForTesting/overrideMap.xml but not to PowerEditor/installer/functionList/overrideMap.xml

It’s not a critical regression – but if you end up having to do a second RC anyway, it would be good to make the change in the other overrideMap, so it gets distributed.

Other than that, I haven’t found a problem yet.

@PeterJones
Thank you for your heads up.
A PR has been created, and it’ll be in the next (8.1.5) release:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/10440

It seems this RC is quite reliable, the release will be available within 1 day.
Thank you for your test!
