      @rdipardo,

      I’ve built NPP 8.4 (not officially released yet), and on startup I get the following message:

      3e443b17-82c6-4f21-b0c3-7ec2f1398158-תמונה.png

      Could you please have a look?

      Thank you.

        @rdipardo,

        I’ve built NPP 8.4 (not officially released yet), and on startup I get the following message

        It means this condition tested false:

            (HIWORD(NppVersion) > 8) or
            ((HIWORD(NppVersion) = 8) and
              // 8.3 -> 8,3 (*not* 8,30)
              ((LOWORD(NppVersion) = 3) or
               ((LOWORD(NppVersion) > 21) and not IsPatchRelease)))
        

        Version 8.4 would be parsed as HIWORD -> 8, LOWORD -> 4, which fails at the LOWORD(NppVersion) > 21 branch.
        The above comment about 8.3 is my own, so I really should have seen this coming . . .

        Maybe @donho can pad the minor version so it works out to 40 instead? I don’t know how many plugins depend on the current system, but a more rational approach the version numbers would probably benefit everybody.

        Worst case, I’ll have to push a patched release.

        Thanks for testing!

          @rdipardo,

          Thank you for the explanation.

          so I really should have seen this coming

          We’re merely humans. :)

          My 8.4 version is the main build I’m using now, and I had to remove HTML Tag.
          Even if your suggestion is accepted, it would probably take a while.

          Would you mind pushing a patched release?
          I’d appreciate it.

            @rdipardo,

            Obviously I can change the version in my build.
            But anyway, the official 8.4 is supposed to be released soon.

              It’s pretty kludgy, but this will tide us over until we’re safely into a v9 series.

                  @yaron,

                  But anyway, the official 8.4 is supposed to be released soon.

                  I’m obviously not up to speed, but the current git still has “8.33”. Where can I open a PR showing how to bump the version without breaking the plugin (i.e., by adding a 0 to the end of the VERSION_VALUE string) ?

                      It was more of a rhetorical outburst in the heat of the moment. I tried to make the case in a bug report instead.

                      The secret to my productivity? I’m still “Stand[ing] with Hong Kong” . . .

                        New release ready to try: bitbucket.org/rdipardo/htmltag/issues/2.
                        Let’s hope it makes it into v1.4.9 of Plugins Admin (and N++ 8.4_).

                            Please update the 'readme.textfile`. It does not include activating the plugin through the Plugins Admin menu. I figured that out but not everyone is guaranteed to know that step is required.

                            After copying the .dll to the plugins folder:

                            1. Open the the Plugins menu and then open ‘Plugins Admin…’

                            2. Searching for HTML if there’s a long list (as there is for me)

                            3. Check the checkbox to the left of the plugin name in the list.

                            4. Click the “Install” button in the upper left.
                              notepad++ will restart and your plugin will then be activated and ready to be used.

                                Notes

                                • Since v1.2, 64-bit versions of HTMLTag require Notepad++ 8.3 or newer.
                                • Notepad++ 8.4 is not compatible with HTMLTag 1.2.1 or 1.2.2

                                HTMLTag is now free (as in Free Pascal)

                                1.3 will be the first version linked against Free Pascal’s open source runtime libraries.

                                The transition from Delphi’s proprietary runtime took longer than expected; I don’t recommend doing the same with other Object Pascal plugins, especially if they depend on Delphi’s Visual Component Library. That HTMLTag had no GUI was a lucky exception. Potential contributors will find that a command line and GDB are all that’s needed to get started.

                                To mark the milestone, the About dialog has been refreshed with clickable URLs and dynamic text revealing the path to the HTML entities configuration file. A missing file will be indicated by a red error message; when found, clicking will open it (in notepad.exe, unless you’ve hacked the Registry to make N++ the system’s default text editor):

                                htmltagv130_002.gif

                                No more load failures in 64-bit Notepad++

                                As confirmed here, all 64-bit versions of HTMLTag will load without fail in N++ 8.4.1 and later.

                                  I was not notified of your last post. Just happened to see it.

                                  v1.3.0 crashes NPP on going to the opening tag and on error.
                                  Could you please have a look?

                                  Thank you for you work.

                                    Was it a source build that crashed? I know the proposed upgrade to Scintilla 5.2.3 involves a scary-looking change to the builtin tag matcher, but it’s not been merged yet.

                                    For me, the x64 release DLL runs fine in the latest N++.

                                      [Edit] I think what you’re seeing is an infinite loop that freezes up the editor when you search for a non-existent closing tag. The application window fades with the “Not responding” message, correct?

                                      It’s a regression from my attempt to fix a memory leak in the Unicode escape decoder. I’ll release a new version when it’s fixed.

                                        Correct. That’s “on error”.
                                        And the second case is: place the caret on a closing tag and “Find a matching tag”.

                                        I’ll release a new version when it’s fixed.

                                        Great.
                                        Many thanks.

                                          The latest build should be more stable.
