The issue with GitHub “latest” and a newly released NPP has happened before.
Indeed, I reported it once so knew exactly what you meant and didn’t bother reporting again when I saw it this time, you had already posted.
Cheers.

… maybe that was accidentally unchecked, and then @donho later went back and marked it as latest.
I confirm. Sorry for the confusion. I thought a simple LIKE on the post and fixing it is clear enough for everyone.
On the other hand, since auto-updater was triggered for v8.6.2, when you check that URL saying “I currently have v8.5 ” or “I currently have v8.6 ” or “I currently have v8.6.1 ”, they should all tell you that what you really want is v8.6.2… but they don’t; they all indicate that v8.6 was the most recent version with auto-update triggered. This means that either @donho rolled back (“untriggered”) the v8.6.2 auto-update, or something’s wrong with getDownloadUrl.php
It was a bad manipulation from my side. Normaly in each release I don’t update “update” folder which contains the php of auto-updater. While working on news “Help us to take down the parasite website” very late the night, I ignored this detail while updating the website in order to publish the news. I have just restored it (on v8.6.2).
To prevent the same error from occuring again, every time that auto-update is triggered, there will be a pointer (a marker) on the website like this:
Or do you have a better idea/wording?

It seems to me v8.6.5 has no issue (at least so far) - auto-update has been triggered for this version.

After applying this version, all my previous tabs (saved and not saved) were closed! I had ~100 New files, which weren’t saved. Only the last tab remains opened, but it changed its name to “New 1”. Why? Is there any way to bring all the other tabs back?

moderator: duplicated this post to here, because while this happened when upgrading to v8.6.5, it probably isn’t specific to that version; please continue any replies in that topic, where it will be easier to help the user without cluttering this Announcement Topic with general debug. -

moderator note: this question was not about a regression (change in behavior) so it was moved to the new “Two Questions: (1) Batch replacement and (2) bulk file open”.Please remember, this Announcement Topic is only for kudos for new features of v8.6.5, discussion of new features added in v8.6.5, and discussion of “regressions” – problems that first arose in v8.6.5, that are noticed in the first week or two after v8.6.5 is released. Generic questions about behavior or other requests for help should go in Help Wanted.

LOL! As a human-being, I personally love the kudos for a new release. However, for making critical issues easily to be tracked, kudos for the new release should be avoided, except for kudos for a new feature of the new release - which is appreciated because it lets us (the devs) be aware of the wanted feature.

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you, I was able to restore my New… files from the Backup. Thankfully these options were checked in my case.

@mkupper Hi, thank you for your reply. I found out that this can be a problem too - existence of Dell SupportAssist SW on my local PC (i.e. existence of C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssistAgent\SRE\SRE.exe). Maybe this program, in its latest version updated January 17th 2024, is deleting the Notepad++ session.xml file.

Hi
I assume this is related to this upgrade - apols if not.!
I’ve just seen this pop up warning, which unfortunately makes no sense to me as I don’t knowingly use macros or run commands and I’ve no idea what my “shortcuts.xml” is. Thus I’ve no idea what to do as there’s no clear choice for me. I am on the non-programmer spectrum of NPP users so appreciate that I may be missing something blindingly obvious for those that are.I have also noticed though that .txt files are no longer associated with NPP and it’s no longer in the list of available programs to use. Not sure how to fix that.

It’s not. Please create a new topic thread if you want to continue discussion on what you started here. But…start by reading the FAQ.
