Notepad++ 7.5 ships without plugin manager, brings new programming languages

Notepad++

Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.

Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.

Notepad++ 7.5 release notes:

  • 19 new programing languages support are added: ASN.1, AviSynth, Blitz Basic, Csound, Erlang, escript, Forth, FreeBASIC, LaTeX, MMIX, Nimrod, nnCron, OScript, PureBasic, Rebol, registry, Rust, SPICE, txt2tags.
  • The 'Plugin Manager' plugin has been removed from the official distribution. The reason is that 'Plugin Manager' plugin contains advertising in its dialog. A built-in Plugin Manager is in progress and will be available in the next versions of Notepad++.
