This post is probably only of interest to those playing with or working on the code for Programmer’s Notepad.
Programmer’s Notepad 2.0.10 RC is now out, and with that the code has been branched in subversion to the rel-2-0-10 branch.
This means that the trunk is open for big changes again, and there are some relatively big changes on the way – in fact for the next few weeks expect the trunk to be broken fairly often. Here are the changes coming in:
- Fixing the Unicode build – 2.1 will be released as a full Unicode rather than mixed mode build
- Updating to the newest Scintilla code, error handling model has changed completely
- Moving to Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for development instead of 2005
- Updating Boost to latest release
Apart from this (!) I don’t intend on taking many changes before 2.1 is released. You can see the current suggested list of items to fix in the tracker: Ellington Issues.
Hi,
first of all I want to thank you for this great peace of software. But the only reason I prefer Notepad++ over PN is that I can create my own scheme with a custom folding. Are there any plans to implement it in PN?
You can already create custom languages (see .schemedef files) but not folding at the moment. I plan to add this, and some UI to configure them too.
That would be great, especially the UI. These improvements do not come in 2009, do they?
Heh, maybe – you’ll have to wait and see. There are some big changes under way at the moment so they’ll take a while, but will be very worthwhile. Then hopefully we’ll see some of these smaller but still important features.
