Hi, Don. I've got a request for this upcoming version.
There's a bug exist for a long time.
The unicode build should render the Main frame caption with unicode, but afaik it's still update with SetWindowTextA…
Hope that this issue should be fixed in the new version.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
For the moment I can only say there are still present come minor bugs/annoyances:
1. Close any docked window and try to type a text… Where's the focus?
2. When closing Find results message box (BTW I almost hate it ;) ) the focus is returned to the document instead of Find dialog, so to close latter from keyboard one have to evoke it for a second time.
3. There's no way to perform replacement in rectangular selection only, 'cause "In selection" checkbox is disabled in this case (works perfectly in SciTE).
4. Mnemonics conflict for Mark &All and Replace &All still present (important for minimal package which includes no language files).
As I still didn't see PHP stream comments code folding neither in this N++ version, nor in SciTE 2.25 (though Scintilla 2.23 had some related feature added), I had to perform some search and finally managed to find a way to enable it. In fact, the feature was available since Scintilla v.1.77 (*shocked*) and the needed property (fold.hypertext.comment) could easily be found commented out in html.properties of SciTE. It seems a little strange to me to dig through another (though related) editor's configs to tune Notepad++'s behavior. Or do I miss some "native" way to learn about such things? Anyway, I'm glad I've got what I want.
Cheers!

@Don:
Open any files locate in a path with non-ANSI character(the path or the filename itself is the same), for example, CJK characters, the caption of the main window will contain "???" in the path.
That must be a problem cause by inappropriately calling SetWindowTextA.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1. For the focus not being back to edit zone after closing docked dialog, I can reproduce it. I will see what I can do about it.
2. For the focus not being back to find dialog after closing find result messagebox issue, unfortunately it's a intention behaviour. Find result dialog's parent is set to Notepad++ but not to Find dialg in order to fix the unwanted characters insetion problem. If you have a better idea, please let me know.
3. I'll consider the implementation of the feature "replace in rectangle selection".
4. "Mark &All" will be set "Mark All" in the release 5.9 to solve the conflict. "Mark All" uses directly Enter key.
The stream comment of php will be foldable in the release 5.9 as well.

From v5.9, NppTextFX will be excluded from the official release.
Why? It's a very powerful addition to NPP which is used quite a lot! Would regret it if you would do so… First see how many people are suffering from that problem, only then decide to kick it out…

The minimalist package has no plugins, no themes, no localisation files and no alternate sets of icons, Look at your current N++ install folder; then the minimalist package contains what you have there with all folders, the help manual and shell extension dll removed. What you wish to download now depends on your requirements.

Removing TextFX will hurt.
However, this plugin is badly written and has asked for a maintainer for two years, and possibly more. Perhaps this is the only way to get some collective effort under way to rewrite it as a collection of more flexible and maintainable plugins who take advantage of a N++ API that has grown a lot since TextFX was last released..
On the other hand, since it will be available from various sources and isn't updated, savvy users won't be affected, and those who are not too skilled at mining the internet will be crippled the most. So, it is a bad solution, but possibly the best one at hand.

There needs to be a new document setting like default language. But, instead allows you to choose the language of the document upon creation instead of one set language and having to change it every time you want a different language by going to the language menu (I like the language menu, but it would be nice to not always have to use it). That's the one thing that I think is missing, and consider it a minor bug. Keep up the good work.

I'm by no means the author. Chris Severance is the guy, and I have no idea of his whereabouts. His original website is gone.
The npp-plugins project on SF has almost up-to-date sources. Don made some emergency changes when N++ went unicode, but he doesn't seem to be willing to release them, saying that a rewrite from scratch would be a better idea anyway.

Notepad++ release policy is to include only useful, generic, stable and bug free plugins.
That ensure Notepad++'s stability.
User can always installed it by using Plugins Manager within 3 clicks.
OTOH, although TextFX is a powerful, rich feature plugin, the absence of its maintenance is always a serious issue.
Rewriting TextFX in several plugins may be a good solution IMO.
But it's another issue and it needs the volunteers to work on that.

Which bug are you talking about?
Don
System error: "Could not start because MSVCR80.dll is missing on the computer".
Thanks, Don!

@JC_Yang
Do you use NppTextFx? It can be the source of trouble as stated in this topic.
Thanks, nofun69.
It's definitely the bug. After I remove NppTextFx, the problem is gone.
Thanks for the release of Don!
I mailed an updated translation, please check. )))
You can add the option for smart lighthing of split window?
For visual comparison matches.
It would be very convenient.
@kontra2757:
What is your OS? (detailed information please).

what is the difference between "npp.5.9.RC.bin.zip" package and "npp.5.9.RC.bin.minimalist.7z"?
which i should download?
The minimalist package has no plugins, no themes, no localisation files and no alternate sets of icons, Look at your current N++ install folder; then the minimalist package contains what you have there with all folders, the help manual and shell extension dll removed.

Don,
Do you have the MD5 or SHA1 hashes for the 5.9 RC archives?
tnx,
/s/ BezantSoft
@CChris
Any idea where one can find the latest sources? I found this link, but apparently it's not up and running (any more?)…
PS: I see this here:

And apparently you are the author!!! :-) :-) :-)…
