Notepad++ 4.8.1

Notepad++ is a free (free as in "free speech", but also as in "free beer" ) source code editor and Notepad replacement, which supports syntax highlighting and code completion for dozens of programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment.

Version 4.8.1 features bug-fixes and new tools and improvements. Most significantly, this version of Notepad++ fixes a bug in GUP which could cause system crashes. Anyone running Notepad++ 4.8.0 is strongly urged to upgrade to this release.
