In this release, the serious dockable dialog drag n' drop problem under vista is fixed. There're some problems of performance during dragging the dialog for somes machines, at least the system's error doesn't appear anymore.
One of the most requested features is the column mode edition, now it's available in v4.2. You can insert texts or a number (decimal/hexadecimal/octal/binary) with or without column selection.
Here're v4.2 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.1.2) :
1. Fix the dockable dialog drag and drop problem under vista.
2. Add Column mode edition feature (Menu "Edit->Column Editor...").
3. Fixed "To UPPER/lower case" bug in column mode.
4. Fix the display bug in User language define dialog.
5. Add new feature which backups files in a user specific directory.
6. Fix TeX syntax highlighting corruption problem while switching off then switching back to current document.
7. Fix User Define Language extension recognition problem for sensitive case (now it's insensitive).
8. Add a menu entry to access to notepad++ plugins project page.
9. Enhance file open dialog (add all supported extensions in the filters list).
10. Fix bug of Run macro until EOF.
Plugins included in v4.2 :
1. TexFX v0.24a
2. Function list v1.2
3. ConvertExt v1.1
4. NppExec v0.2 beta 4
5. Spell checker v1.1
6. Quick text v0.02
7. Explorer v1.4
8. Hex editor v0.84
Enjoy

Sorry for being a nudnik, but the following two bugs still remain in the new version:
1) In order to enter text in non-ASCII characters in UTF-8 without BOM, another Unicode encoding must be chosen first, then changed to UTF-8 without BOM.
2) RTL and LTR texts can't be selected properly in LTR and RTL paragraph directions respectively.

After installing the new version with all plugins, I got an application error upon startup -- it quit immediately with an offer to send an error report to Bill Gates.
Isolating the problem to the Explorer plugin, I updated that plugin to 1.5, and now everything works fine once again.

Yes, the Explorer v1.4 plugin included with the NP++ 4.2 release caused NP++ to crash upon startup on my XP Pro system. When I updated the Explorer plugin to v1.5, then all worked fine. It appears that others are reporting the same experience.
I recommend replacing the v1.4 Explorer plugin in the 4.2 setup with v1.5.

New version of Explorer works, because of one simple reason:
The "Explorer.ini" and the "Favorites.dat" are stored now in the new plugins/config directory supplied by Notepad. If it's not available, they will be created new.
If you want to work with v1.4 you can delete the current "Favorties.dat" or modify it. Please see below:

Thank you Don for this new release. Nevertheless it seems that you have correct problem about batch comments but not about tcl comments could you rapllace the current line by <Language name="tcl" ext="tcl" commentLine="#">.
Thanks

I Installed v4.2 by the installer EXE over the old v4.1.2 as an update and it works fine under WinXP Home SP2. No crashes at all! Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C and so on works also fine for me.
Thanks Don

If not, where is the column mode? What would be nice is a column mode similar to what Crimson Editor
has! I think UltraEdit may have someting simlar. I know that Crimson Editor is not being actively
maintained, but they have a great column mode. Please make Notepad++ even better by improving the
column mode. Thanks.

Exactly the same problem here on WinXP.
in my computer all are ok.
winxp system. zip version not exe version.
thanks Don. great Editor! i use it everyday.
Same problem with the default Explorer 1.4.
Upgrading to 1.5 did fix my problem.
Hi
Thank you Don for this new release. Nevertheless it seems that you have correct problem about batch comments but not about tcl comments could you rapllace the current line by <Language name="tcl" ext="tcl" commentLine="#">.
Thanks
I ensure you it's already updated in the newest version.
The installer kept all your old value. So just modify it manually.
Don
I experienced the same problem with Explorer v1.4. After upgrading to v1.5 all worked well.
installed 4.2 over 4.1 on XP Professional English.
NP++ crashes as soon as i try to run it. Uninstalled, reinstalled, same problem.
Uninstslled and gone back to NP++ 4.1 and working again.
Exactly the same problem on XP Professional Spanish.
Back to 4.1.2.
See Jens's comments above on either deleting the current "Favorties.dat" file, modifying it, or upgrading to Explorer v1.5.
Regards.
Greg
Ctrl+A craches Notepad++ v4.2 in WinXP.
Not for me. Works good on my WinXP Pro system.
I Installed v4.2 by the installer EXE over the old v4.1.2 as an update and it works fine under WinXP Home SP2. No crashes at all! Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C and so on works also fine for me.
Thanks Don
>> Ctrl+A craches Notepad++ v4.2 in WinXP.
I DO NOT have the same problem on WinXP Pro + Sp2
I fixed that Problem by installing v1.5 and deleting exlorer.ini and favourites.dat
Unfortunately, the following two bugs still remain in the new version:
1) In order to enter text in non-ASCII characters in UTF-8 without BOM, another Unicode encoding must be chosen first, then changed to UTF-8 without BOM.
2) RTL and LTR texts can't be selected properly in LTR and RTL paragraph directions respectively.
Thanks for great program.
I have installed 4.2. Is the column mode feature that same as the column editor?

has! I think UltraEdit may have someting simlar. I know that Crimson Editor is not being actively

Invoke the column editor using either Edit: Column Editor or <Alt+C>.
