Using 6.8.8, choose Update Notepad++, get message "NO update is available"
-
I saw Notepad++ 6.9 was released a few days ago. When I try to update from 6.8.8, I get the message “NO update is available.” How can this be? Does 6.8.8 not have clear update path to 6.9? I was able to update an older version of Notepad++ on another machine to 6.9 successfully.
Is it safe to download the latest update package from Git or website, and install? Or should I wait for update package to be available from within the app?

Hello @Patrick-Moore,
it takes normally a few days before it can be updated. I assume Don just wants to be sure
that everything is ok.Cheers

@Claudia-Frank thank you for your reply! This makes sense. But, then, why could I update one version on one machine, but not the newer version on second machine? Shouldn’t both software on both machines have same reply, that no update is available? I used same in-app procedure (? menu > Update Notepad++) on both machines, and only one could update (the version that was older than 6.8.8).

I just tried it, Windows 10 x64 npp 6.8.7 installed.
Clicked on Update and I was offered npp 6.8.8. Installed it and
yes, it is npp 6.8.8. So I assume that you just updated
to 6.9 in a situation/timeslot where it was possible but as of now
it seems it is not possible yet.Cheers
