Freedom of Expression, much like any action, must come with responsibility to the consequence of their words. Truth can be expressed without insult. Insult, like any aggressive action, should be expressed only by those who is willing to brave the reaction that is reflected back as a consequence of their words.

Hello Don. I know this is not the right place to post this, but I thought this could be the best way for you to spot this. I upgraded from Npp 6.4.x to this last edition, and loving the new features. Didn't uninstall the last version first, just upgraded it.
Soon I realized I cannot use commenting features. Doing a bit of research, found out you renamed those actions in Npp 6.5.x, and fixed my problem. Some people may not know what is going on, but I think I'm in a minority here. I thought I should give you a heads up.
Also, thank you so much for this brilliant program. I've been using it for years, and I just love it.

I love the notepad++ editor but it was disappointing to see you getting involved in an unnecessary controversy. What "Je suis Charlie" stands for is something that hurts millions of Muslims around the world. I do not agree that it is freedom of expression, rather it is irresponsible behavior no matter what name is used to justify that behavior. Yes, it is not good to kill someone, but at the same time it is also not good to use the freedom of expression as a justification for non-sense.
Look around the world and you will find a lot of horrific things going on. More than 140 school children killed in a Pakistan school, around same number of worshippers killed in a Pakistan mosque, killing of 3 Muslim students in USA, permanent hostage of Palestinians by Israel. How about dedicating a Notepad++ edition for these incidents?
I hope you will re-think what you are supporting. I do not think "Je suis Charlie" is for freedom of expression, it is just simple irresponsible behavior.

for one reason, he say this. for the rest, i suggest the contrary.
And no, you cannot just take someone's life for whatever he/she expressed.
what if s/he intend to kill? yes, word can kill. eg, in a crowded night club when there's blackout, someone shout FIRE!
thus freedom of expression shall not exempt anyone from the responsibilty to deal with the consquence. hence knowing the boundary of one's freedom equalize showing respect to other's freedom.

But the very nature of Notepad++ as free (as in free speech) and open source software is it self a pretty strong form of political statement; read some literature at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html . Few things in this world are truly neutral, with out the politics the developer of this software believes in this software would probably not exist or be free (and free!) for you to use.

Ok, the hacking was totally unnecessary, it only gives more reason for them to hate you. But indeed, this version is ridiculous.

I do realise that the US has stirred up a lot of trouble in the Middle East, and many of us demonstrated for peace before the Iraq war. However, right now, most of the Muslims being killed in the middle east, are being killed by more extreme Muslims!
The intolerance shown towards those French cartonists, is also shown by ISIS towards many Muslims in the middle east for being gay, or belonging to a different type of Islam, or whatever. Where does that type of extremism stop? Hatred and extremism simply feeds on itself.
Furthermore, you or maybe your parents chose to settle in the West, and we have some sacred principles too - in particular, freedom of speech.
I think it might have been better to have created a version of Notepad++ that simply contained a start screen that explained your protest, but I definitely defend your right to this peaceful protest.

Extract, from that archive, the NppCrypt.dll file and copy it in the plugins folder of your current Notepad++ installation
Start your CURRENT version of Notepad++ ( so prior to the v6.7.4 version, of course ! )
According to your previous v6.7.4 downloading, open the 6.7.4 file ( Installer.exe OR npp.6.7.4.bin.7z OR npp.6.7.4.bin.minimalist.7z OR npp.6.7.4.bin.zip ), in your current version of N++
Select ALL contents of that "pseudo-binary" file ( CTRL + A )
Select the menu option Plugins - NppCrypt - Hash and click on the OK button
=> At once, the file contents are replaced with a forty hexadecimal digits string, which is the true SHA1 digest control sum of your downloaded file
Finally, from the link below, VERIFY that this calculated string is STRICTELY IDENTICAL to the theoretical SHA1 digest ( 160 digits - 40 Hex characters ) of the downloaded file, given by Don HO :
By the way, did you notice that the SHA1 digest ( and, probably, all the other algorithms ) of your NppHash plugin, are wrong, since Notepad++ uses the 3.3.4 version of the SciLexer.dll file :-((
For instance, with the v6.7.3 version of N++, the NppHash plugin gives, for the npp.6.7.4.bin.7z archive, the wrong SHA1 digest, below :
532EBFB8ED1BB1234C58984AD4ACB0DDB6C1AC50
If I replaced the 3.3.4.0 version of the SciLexer.dll file by the older version 2.2.7.0, the SHA1 digest is again, as expected :

Hi Ashish,
Nice to learn that you maintain NppFTP.
Could you point me out where do you release the new version of NppFTP?
Don
Thanx for giving me and some other million users a heart attack with simulating someone writing on your desktop/server :-(
I love that automatic typing feature. I looked at the documentation and could not figure out how you did it. Could you please post the steps?
Thanks
Max,
Sorry about that.
The most important thing is, now you know that is not a virus or something alike.
Don
Your entitled. So the saying goes "No good FREE deed/app goes unpunished". Like Notepadd++ is really gonna expose a hole (equiv -the size of Rhode Island) open to allow a hack like that.

Thanks for good program. It's a pity, that you mess politics withing neutral things, such as text editor. Staying at 6.7.3 for now.
I hate to tell you this...
But the very nature of Notepad++ as free (as in free speech) and open source software is it self a pretty strong form of political statement; read some literature at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html . Few things in this world are truly neutral, with out the politics the developer of this software believes in this software would probably not exist or be free (and free!) for you to use.

Protesting against the brutal murder of 17 innocent people is politics?!
May the free world wake up and realize the danger it is facing.
Your web site has been hacked by FallaGa Team because of this edition.
Ok, the hacking was totally unnecessary, it only gives more reason for them to hate you. But indeed, this version is ridiculous. Muslims in Europe are being very prejudiced every day, and many in the middle east are being killed. The attacks in France were unjustified and very sad, however they were not about freedom of speech.

Hi Schiavini,
"Muslims in Europe are being very prejudiced every day, and many in the middle east are being killed."
I could not agree more.
Hence my statement after hacking of Notepad++ site:
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hacking-npp-site.html
Once again, it's all about freedom of expression but nothing else.
Don
To all the Muslims here.
I do realise that the US has stirred up a lot of trouble in the Middle East, and many of us demonstrated for peace before the Iraq war. However, right now, most of the Muslims being killed in the middle east, are being killed by more extreme Muslims!
The intolerance shown towards those French cartonists, is also shown by ISIS towards many Muslims in the middle east for being gay, or belonging to a different type of Islam, or whatever. Where does that type of extremism stop? Hatred and extremism simply feeds on itself.

I think it might have been better to have created a version of Notepad++ that simply contained a start screen that explained your protest, but I definitely defend your right to this peaceful protest.
In light of the fact that the Notepad++ web site was hacked, can we have a reassurance that none of the software has been compromised?
Is that a No then?
Hello Mark,
First of all, I wish you an Happy New Year 2015, ...... with Notepad++ !!
To VERIFY, BEFORE installation, that your downloading, of the 6.7.4 version of Notepad++, is SAFE, follow the steps below :
http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/6.7.4/
http://www.cerberus-design.de/nppcrypt/nppcryptv1010.zip
Extract, from that archive, the NppCrypt.dll file and copy it in the plugins folder of your current Notepad++ installation
Start your CURRENT version of Notepad++ ( so prior to the v6.7.4 version, of course ! )
According to your previous v6.7.4 downloading, open the 6.7.4 file ( Installer.exe OR npp.6.7.4.bin.7z OR npp.6.7.4.bin.minimalist.7z OR npp.6.7.4.bin.zip ), in your current version of N++
Select ALL contents of that "pseudo-binary" file ( CTRL + A )
Select the menu option Plugins - NppCrypt - Hash and click on the OK button
=> At once, the file contents are replaced with a forty hexadecimal digits string, which is the true SHA1 digest control sum of your downloaded file
http://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/1290588/thread/08553b1d/
As for me, I, personally, downloaded the npp.6.7.4.bin.7z file and its SHA1 digest was, as expected, the string
899D63CF7A66D440BD3FF1BA3E420A3781B4CF8CSo, I'm 100 % sure that this file is NOT corrupted !
To that purpose, read the Wikipedia article, about the SHA1 algorithm :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA1#Examples_and_pseudocode

Hi, Don,
By the way, did you notice that the SHA1 digest ( and, probably, all the other algorithms ) of your NppHash plugin, are wrong, since Notepad++ uses the 3.3.4 version of the SciLexer.dll file :-((
For instance, with the v6.7.3 version of N++, the NppHash plugin gives, for the npp.6.7.4.bin.7z archive, the wrong SHA1 digest, below :
