I wonder why Scintilla is no longer updated. I have submitted a bug in the sql lexer there some months ago, but again it has not made its way into notepad++. Afai can see, the LexSQL.cxx is from 2011.
Thanks & regards
Erik

EDIT: Never mind, I just reinstalled the old version and I cannot open the file either.

With 6.3 I can no longer open some "big" files: a text file that is ~160MB in size will now refuse to open, but it used to work with the "end of the world edition". It contains no line breaks, as it is a base64 encoded tab-separated csv file with a over half a million rows. When i open it from the context menu, no message is shown. When i open it from npp's open dialog, i get an error message saying the file is too big.

Thanks for the update. I noticed a problem though in both my computers. The program opens windowed but it is set to max. On the very top, I see part of the window because the position is beyond the screen limit. No matter if I change that, every time the program starts, it starts windowed again. See the attached image for details.
I can reproduce this problem. It seems to come from revision 1015, where there is small error in merging my patch (window state is not saved to nppGUI._isMaximized).

Even if I choose NOT to use %APPDATA%, Notepad++ will create its config folder and stuff there! Apparently, the wiki isn't correct here: Neither the empty file doLocalConf.xml nor system variables (NPP_DIRECTORY) works as described. This is a nuisance!
Further, it would be even better to perform an unattended installation, with option "Don't use %APPDATA%" selected and "Context Menu Entry" disabled, and if this isn't possible with the NSIS installer, what about switching to MSI for instance?
Notepad++ might be an attractive editor, but its deployment still needs improvement.

Is there any way with the new Number styler to define hex digits a-f? I've tried a number of combinations (prefix 0x works but only for numerics). Range and extras don't seem to have any effect in that regard.

NP++ doesn't seem to handle every large folds too well...
for example folding from line 30 to 19,906
(Sorry for the sloppy smudge effect but i need to blur out my files and a few other things)
also either due to how I'm doing my folds or simply the size of them? at some point folds stop folding where specified but instead a few lines down (not shown on the screenshot though)
You're using extend mode, change to RegExp mode then it's fine. I think extend mode was done by some trick, which is not as stable as the regular expression engine

RegExp is much complicated way, e.g. when I want to replace line endings in scripts, and i need to recognize where one command really ends i look for special characters, using rexp I'm forced to use esc char. I would really need the old funcionality being back.

Has anyone noticed a folding issue in 6.3? It's working fine in XP SP3 32-bit. However...
On Win7 SP1 64-bit, [Alt-0] (or View | Fold All) only folds 1 or 2 functions defined in the file. I have to hit [Alt-0] multiple times to fold all functions in each file. This worked fine in previous versions of npp. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have also tried a portable version. All do the same thing. View | Unfold All appears to work correctly. I have tried this on multiple LISP text files, all of which used to work.
Update 1: 6.2 and before work fine, but 6.2.1 and later don't. (Tried with zip versions)
Update 2: 6.2 installed version works "correctly" (the way it always has: [Alt-0] folds ALL functions in file first try)

Thanks to the contributions of François-R Boyer, Dave Brotherstone, Ivan Radić (aka Loreia) and Pekka Pöyry, Notepad++ v6.3 is available:
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-6.3-release.html
The auto-updater will be triggered in 1 week, if there's no critical issue found.
Enjoy

Scintilla will be updated in the next major version.
Don
Great! That was bugging me for ages since you have to start Notepad++ as an administrator on Windows to edit system files.
Could you maybe have a look at [patches:#436] again? That's the only issue left when using Notepad++ for me.

Confirmed, here too :)

I can confirm this too
Hi,
how can i update to the new version WITHOUT loosing all my personal settings?
Hi, when i'm block uncomment to css file using Ctr+Shift+K, notepad++ has stopped working. Is it bug or because i'm using windows 8 ??
How could I make Notepad++ 6.3 portable again?

Hi Greg,
you should use Prefix2 and Extras1 to define HEX numbers.
As explained in documentation:

Hi Erwin,
a big similar to what you describe was fixed in version 6.3.
I would like to test this new problem on my machine. Can you send me the file at:
udlv20 at _ gmail dot _ com
If file content is sensitive, you can try to send it through password protected ZIP archive.

Font is blur on Windows 8 (HiDPI) :

Please update, thanks.
@Jack: until it is fixed, you could probably put the application in "disable display scaling" compatibility mode, as I posted on this thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331753/thread/ed61e6b3
When I was using replace (ctrl+h) in 6.3, I found that using special character (\n) as replacement in extended search mode will not work properly.
For example,
document had: ",\r\n"
find what: ,\r\n
replace with: \n
will get "\\n" instead of "\n"
This only happens when we use "Replace" button, "Replace All" seem to work fine.
Forget about above.. please take a look on attachment, I think it would make more sense.
Thanks and Regards,
Crow

Got it! Awakening me that \n in both extend mode and RegExp had same meaning, why not just use RegExp? Thanks!

Hi Lee,
I thought this issue was solved in 6.3. Can you send me a sample LISP file, so I could try to reproduce the issue?
