Notepad++ v8.6.5 release

2024-03-30

To address a performance issue of “Replace All” in previous version 8.6.4, Notepad++ no longer triggers SCN_MODIFIED and other Scintilla notifications during the “Replace All” action. Consequently, some plugins that rely on Scintilla’s notifications may malfunction after a “Replace All” operation. To rectify this regression, a new notification called NPPN_GLOBALMODIFIED has been implemented in Notepad++ v8.6.5. Plugin developers should monitor NPPN_GLOBALMODIFIED alongside SCN_MODIFIED, if SCN_MODIFIED is already monitored in the plugin. For additional information about NPPN_GLOBALMODIFIED, please refer to this link: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25504/new-nppn_globalmodified-notification

The session loss problem and the data loss due to the power outages issue are also addressed in this release.

There are more enhancements & bug-fixes. Get more info about this release or download v8.6.5 here:
