Sourceforge have finally released their updated statistics software and the graphs for pnotepad are looking good: Sourceforge pnotepad statistics.
The “pn-devel” project is showing a rough download average of 120 downloads a day – that’s a lot of downloads! The vast majority of these are for the most recent release, with a 88/12 split on exe/zip downloads, the installer is far more popular but there are still a good number of people who prefer zip builds.
Interestingly, PN1 (in the “pnotepad” stable project) is still showing roughly 90 downloads a day. I think with the next release of PN2 it’s time to try and make sure it’s stable enough to put the old version out to pasture – offering it only for users who want the old software with the hex editor.
Of about 700 downloads of PN1 in the last 7 days, 10 of these were the source for an older non-current release. Source for PN2 is currently only available from the CVS server.
At this point it’s time for the regular reminder that pn2 will get a hex editor, all in good time.
I would really like to see PCRE in Find-Replace for scintilla. I think this is one of the components that is missing the most next to the HEX editor.
I would love if you could fix some of the critical bugs @ sourceforge’s bug tracker. Some issues with PN2 are plain irritating
I’m working on them, they take time! There’ll be a new release out soon which fixes some of the most irritating ones, but there are still issues with the docking framework to solve.
What do you find most annoying?
PN2 is the text editor I’m most interested in. When’s the next devel version going to be out? I’m working with 2.0.5.48 and I love it.
By the way, I can’t open this page in IE6sp1. For some reason it always wants to download it as a file. Firefox works fine.
