v8.5.3 was released. (15-May-2023)

Quote

2023-05-15

Fix a critical issue of session file data loss.
Fix bugs & enhance the Explorer context menu “Edit with Notepad++”.
Also, a lot of GUI enhancements are added in the 8.5.3 release.

Note that your Macro and Run commands saved in Notepad++ v.8.5.2 (or older) may not be compatible with the current version of Notepad++. Please test those commands and, if needed, re-edit them.
Alternatively, you can downgrade to Notepad++ v8.5.2 and restore your previous data. Notepad++ v8.5.3 will back up your old “shortcuts.xml” and save it as “shortcuts.xml.v8.5.2.backup”.
Renaming “shortcuts.xml.v8.5.2.backup" -> “shortcuts.xml”, your commands should be restored and work properly.

Download v8.5.3 or get more info about this release here:

v8.6.1 was released. (05-January-2024)

 

Quote

Notepad++ v8.6.1 release

2024-01-05

In the previous version v8.6, we introduced the “column mode to multi-editing” to enhance the user experience for Notepad++ users. However, it’s impossible to make every user happy with any new feature of the software, so an option is added to disable the “column mode to multi-editing”. Also, another option was added in v8.6.1 to disable the shortcuts for copying/cutting/deleting an entire line when there’s no selection.

This release includes numerous bug fixes and new features. You can download v8.6.1 and explore these improvements and learn more about this release here:

v8.6.4 was released. (20-February-2024)

Quote

2024-02-20

In Notepad++ version 8.6.3, a regression was identified and subsequently fixed. When two documents are displayed side by side, clicking into the unfocused content no longer activates it as the current document. This regression has been resolved in version 8.6.4. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Regression and critical bug report here:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25497/notepad-release-8-6-4

Auto-updater will be triggered in about 1 week.
