The new version 7.8 of the Notepad++ text editor has just been released. It is our favorite application for the Windows environment, as it can replace the default Notepad text editor of Microsoft's operating system, offering more features, useful for developers.
Notepad++ or Notepad PlusPlus is a powerful text editor that offers many more features compared to Windows Notepad, although Microsoft has recently added some new features to the default Notepad text editor in recent versions of Windows 10.
Notepad++ 7.8 is the first official release since June 2019. The new version cannot be installed via the built‑in update function of the application, but the developer intends to unlock it in the coming days if no significant issues are observed. This specific measure appears to be necessary, as the new version brings a very large number of changes.
Most of the changes in Notepad++ 7.8 concern application problems, such as the crashes that were observed when opening files from folders via file-open, and many others.
Regarding the new features, there are a few. The save dialog has new handy options “no to all” or “yes to all” to improve saving many documents. We should also mention the new process -openFoldersAsWorkspace which opens the folders in the panel as “folder as workspace”.
Finally, we should mention that the updated application supports more languages such as LISP and COBOL. Read more from the official website and download the application.
