In order to make v5 deserve its version number, Harry and I work hard for this release.
These are main features added in v5 :
* The performance of Notepad++ v5 is improved - especially on exit.
* Function parameters calltip hint : in a modern IDE, it always comes together with auto-completion. In this version of Notepad++ calltip feature is implemented as extension of auto-completion. All the api files for auto-completion are now under xml format(with extension .xml).
Calltip is available for all the supported languages - you just need to add them(the php.xml is complete).
Here is the tutorial for this now functionality : http://notepad-plus.wiki.sourceforge.net/Create_AutoComplete
* Tags match highlight : it will be adored by html/xml guys. The colours can be configured in Styler Configurator dialog. Check Preference dialog to disable this feature (through I don't know why you want to do that).
* Enhancement of adding item in context menu : All the plugin commands can be added into context menu. Furthermore adding context menu items in contextMenu.xml is easier in this version. Note that for the sake of backward compatibility, id attribute will still work on the future release.
A lot of other new features are added in v5 : bookmarked lines cut/copy/paste/delete operations, more items (caret, tab bar) are configurable, rename/delete current edited file...etc. I let you discover them yourself.
Notepad++ v5 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.9.2) :
1. Improve Notepad++ performance - on startup and on exit.
2. Add Calltip capacity.
3. Add HTML/XML tag match highlighting.
4. All the menu commands can be added in context menu, including plugins' commands, macros and user defined commands.
5. Add bookmarked lines operations : delete all marked lines, copy all marked lines into clipboard, cut all marked lines into clipboard, paste from clipboard to replace all marked lines content.
6. Add rename and delete current document features.
7. Fix crash bug : Open files with date pre-1970.
8. Fix clone mode bug : now the actions done in one view will be synchronized in the cloned view.
9. Add tooltips in document tab to display the full file name path.
10. Change hide lines behaviour : Hide lines now saved during switches.
11. Change file history list behaviour : Most recent closed file is on the top. Add number on list.
12. Caret width and blink rate are customizable.
13. Add asterisk in title bar if file is dirty.
14. The bookmarks' look & feel are improved.
15. Add "Select all" and "copy" context menu items in Find in files results window.
16. Fix goto line with command line bug.
17. Improve smart highlight / mark all / incremental search highlight all visibility
18. Tabbar's coulours is configurable via Stylers Configurator(Active tab Text, Inactive tab text, Inactive tab background, Active tab focused indicator and Active tab unfocused indicator).
19. Add the smart highlight file size limit - 1.5 MB in order to improve the performance.
20. Add exception handling (dumping filedata).
21. Fix go to line command line bug.
22. Enhance Find in files and Find in all opened files features' performance.
23. Fix dialog off screen problem under multi-monitor environment.
24. Add 2 plugin message for v5 : NPPM_GETFULLPATHFROMBUFFERID and NPPM_GETPOSFROMBUFFERID.
since v4.9 Find (or Replace) in selection doesn't work anymore. It seems that it finds the first match _outside_ the selection. And "count" counts all matches in the whole text, and not only in selection, too. This bug still contains in this release.
And... I'm happy about tags match highlighting feature, but in some cases the wrong closing tag is highlighted, in valid html-code.

Hi, what about HEX-Editor. Will it be return as a function in Notepadd++? After using SciLexer.dll 1.7.5 and problem with coding there isn't HEX-Editor.

The problem to all users using UNICODE or Cyrillic for INPUT is NOT solved.
The version of SciLexer.dll 372 KB (380 928 bytes) 1.7.5.0 is still the same so the problem still exists.
For all users with the above problem the solving of the problem is the same:
Replace existing SciLexer.dll with the one provided in Notepad++ 4.7.5 which have this size and version:
SciLexer.dll 344 KB (352 256 bytes) 1.7.3.0
Happy coding ;)
...a nd we still waiting for non buggy version ;)

Don! This is a AWESOME release (even if you didn't answer my last forum post) :) Love the new tag pair matching. You actually did this better then any other editor I have seen! (really!). Question, how do I use smart tag highliting? I've triggered it on accident but don't know how to do it on purpose.
p.s.
I still plan on redesigning the website...

Smart highlight make highlight all the same token on that you double click.
It may be useful if you try to find where you use the variable in a function.

Then you're welcome.
Just send me your web design - I don't do any guarantee that I'll accept the design.

Confirmed on Vista sp1 biz, clean install (Uninstalled v4.9.2 then installed v5.0). Uninstalled v5.0, installed v4.9.2 and history works fine again.
Although it seems v5.0 won't write her file history to config.xml, that very .xml gives at the end of file:
<!-- The History of opened files list -->
<History nbMaxFile="12">
</History>

For the moment I went back to v4.9.2 because I'm used to use NP as my standard editor and I need file history for my daily work.
Thanks.

Tested with v5, works perfectly for me.
> I'm happy about tags match highlighting feature, but in some cases the wrong closing tag is highlighted, in valid html-code.
Could you send your html file to me?
Don
Awesome, thankyou!
it doesn't work under linux wine 1.0 :(
these are the messages that appear after run http://www.box.net/shared/os83d52ck8
only 4.9.2 works

Try to remove MultiClipboard plugin. Does it help?
Don, Harry,
All of the issues I have reported for v.5 beta or RC still exist in the final:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2089488&forum_id=331753
This is disheartening.
Notepad++ is still a much better editor with v. 5.0, so I think you're on track here.
Thanks for the new Release! Very impressive!
Is it possible to integrate the New Dialogs in Translations file v.5:
In ResourceHacker seen:
Menu 1500:
<Item id = "46080" name = "User Defined"/>
Dialog 6300:
<Item id = "6327" name = "Tags match highlighting"/>
<Item id = "6328" name = "Attributes highlighting"/>
Dialog 1680:
<Item id = "1681" name = "Find :"/>
<Item id = "1685" name = "Match case"/>
<Item id = "1686" name = "Highlighted all"/>
Dialog 20000:
<Item id = "20001 "name = "Dock"/>
Dialog 5000 and Dialog 5001!
Nice.

The tags match highlight seems work wrong in valid html. See:
http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/1958/taghighlightna3.jpg
And the attributes highlighting option seems cannot be saved, after unchecked the option and reopen notepad++, the attributes highlighting is still there.
Yes, it's a bug.
It'll be fixed in the next version.

The file history in the file menu of Notepad++ v5 does not work for me. In v4.9.2 and all previous versions I used it works without problems. Feature is activated in the preferences. Using Windows XP SP2. Does someone have the same problem?
Just tested, works for me.

Thank you for the new release!

Thanks.
By the way, there are new versions of NppExec and HEX-Editor plugins.
why don't you just set your attribute hilite background to white in the style configurator?
In the second view, checking "higlight the current row" seems to do the opposite of what it should.
Don,
will you fix the bug which prevents v5 from running on wine?
I'm probably the one that broke it (no guarantees) and ill see if I can fix it for the next release, however, no guarantees (I even hope to be able to build notepad++ with winelib).
-Harry
thanks for the answer.
when is the next release planned?
is there a temporary workaround to start v5 on wine?
I know of no workaround, you'll just have to keep using 4.9.2 untill we get this fixed. Which is hard btw, I have yet to find a debugger as good as the visual studio one for linux (and no, those graphical GDB tools really do suck, aswell as commandline :)), and a makefile to compile Notepad++. The last thing allows for winelib though, which I like to use, and Don too.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Starts way faster than before, tag highlighting is great.
Muchos Kudos!
