Programmer’s Notepad 2.2 Released

I’m happy to announce a new stable release, Programmer’s Notepad 2.2, has been released to our Google Code page. This release is very similar to 2.1.5 (fixing a few bugs and landing a few minor changes), but is a huge improvement over the last stable release 2.0.10.

Headline Changes in 2.2:

There have been too many improvements since 2.0.10 to recount them all here, but these are the headline changes in 2.2 over 2.0.10:

  1. Complete Unicode conversion, files, searching, projects, UI, clips…
  2. Complete redesign of text clips, with editing built in to new UI view and code templates and text clips consolidated
  3. Multiple concurrent selections (ctrl+select)
  4. Type into multiple selections and block selections
  5. Virtual space
  6. Translations – PN in your language
  7. Flexible split views
  8. Converting between ANSI/Unicode properly converts current file contents
  9. Vastly improved file encoding options and defaults

Downloads:
Download 2.2 Installer
Download 2.2 Portable
Download 2.2 Multi-Language

You may also like to add the PyPN extension to your 2.2 install to get support for scripting/macros with Python: PyPN 0.12

Thanks to all contributors, translators and testers for their help with this release.

    @Timpaterson Programmer’s Notepad does colour code assembler, making the code easier to work with

    THRILLED! Programmer’s Notepad is our staple for all hand-coding work that we do. Can’t wait to use the new multi select feature!

    Hey just a quick question, in the file encoding options “UTF-8 No Mark”: Does that mean no BOM?

    If so: Finally, great! ;)

    Great news :-)
    It would be my favourite and only little editor if it supports ISO-8859-2 encoding – have you considered adding more encoding schemes?

    Programmers Notepad is my favorite notepad, I just miss the ftp option. I hope the next release enables easy upload to server from the application.

    Long live to Programmers Notepad !!

    Hi,

    Thanks for the new release, but the Pascal scheme is completely borked.

    Hope you can fix – great product.
