It has been out for 11 days now. Don't call it a "news".

Oddly, it does say "Feb 16, 2008" on the Files section of the SF.net project page... but when checking the latest SVN changes, you can see he finalized the release 19 hours ago...

What you just posted has been posted before also, by many other self-proclaimed news watchdogs. It's not new anymore either, so don't post it.

Did it get pulled or what? All I see available is an md5 file...

It probably did. Maybe the developer is repacking it after the past few SVN changes.

Due to the serious blue screen crash problem in GUP, which comes with Notepad++,
the v4.8 is removed from sourceforge.

The fixed version (v4.8.1) is planned to be released in 3 days.

Yeah I see the installer is on filehippo but it crashes spectacularly when you run it. Had to revert to 4.7.5.
