   This is the release candidate for 2.0.10 - a new stable build!

   Almost all changes since build 970 are minor fixes, with the exception of the additional support for XML API files (supporting Notepad++ format). Providing no major issues are found, this will become the stable release, and I plan to test the update mechanism for stable builds soon by signalling this as the new stable build.

   Downloads:

   Installer: http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/files/pn20101010.exe
   Portable: http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/files/portable-pn20101010.zip

   Changes in this build:

   1. Find word under cursor updates user search options
   2. Allow all mini toolbar buttons to live on the main toolbar (#446)
   3. Fix a leak with huge find in files matches.
   4. Fix line numbers when very long lines are in the source files (#129)
   5. Fix find next across multiple documents (#510)
   6. Fix multiple file opens from exporer (#508)
   7. Enable api-based autocomplete supporting notepad++ format (#142)
   8. Updated D language keywords and other bits (#484)
   9. Manual "Check for Updates" command under Help (#469)
   10. Mini toolbar slightly too small (#461)
   11. Disable properties controls when write-protect is enabled (#449)
   12. Fix inconsistent spelling of colour in options dialog

   17. Try to fix mini toolbar button size issue (#501)
   18. 24-bit images for mini toolbar where high colour is not supported (#342)
   19. Fix crash when finding with no text (#463)
   20. When close on Find Next is disabled, really don't close (#473)
   21. Remember the last goto line
   22. Avoid a bug when reading invalid ini sections (#443)
   23. Fix bug preventing copy from output window (#412)
   24. More low-colour toolbar images for downlevel OS support (#518, #513)

   Thanks to all the users who have put time and effort into reporting and following up on bugs, testing, and contributing patches.

   Yes, thank you!!! That's a pretty big list, the most interesting for me is the notepad++ XML integration. Is this basically an easier way to get more autocomplete files?

   The "new update available" notified me of this yesterday, works great. Thanks so much for the continued work, I know I depend on it daily. Thanks!

   Yes, if you take a notepad++ API xml file and drop it into the schemes directory with an extension ".api" then PN should load it and use that for autocomplete instead of the current tag-based approach.

   I got the upgrade popup on my laptop, but on my desktop it popped up while I was typing and then disappeared. One of the keys I pressed must have been the "go away, don't remind me" keys. I don't know if there's much that can be done about this, but it's a problem with windows in general.

   The "Check for upgrades" menu item is new in 2.0.10, right? Just checking, since it isn't in my 2.0.9 help menu.

   Yeah, that's a windows UI issue, but it's one that could also be avoided for things like this by implementing the roll-down information bar that there's a request for.

   Check for upgrades was added for a very late 2.0.9 that was never signalled as an automatic upgrade, most people will see it first in 2.0.10 yes.

   A rolldown bar would be great, like in firefox? I like that one. I just upgraded manually, and am really enjoying the "Don't close the search dialog on Find Next" bugfix. Thanks for your continued work!

   CoDEmanX,

   I had the same trouble with the python api.

   Then I used these api files: http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=4079622969039485460&name=apis.zip

   provided here : http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=578&q=api

   and it worked like a charm.

   The author says he has changed the encoding and this is maybe the correct fix.

    Yup, there'll be some official API files with all the correct fixes released at some point, sorry for the confusion. The two changes required for supporting Notepad++ files are:

    1. Rename to .api
    2. Change the encoding="Windows-1252" attribute in the header to encoding="UTF-8"

    works like a charm =D

    few suggestions:

    - there should be an optional comment/description line in the tooltip (maybe supporting multiple lines?)

    - i would like to change the colors, Win XP quickinfo background color (yellow/beige) and better distinguishable text color for active parameter

    - maybe a narrower font to save space in horizontal direction?

    - the active parameter should be easier to see if it was written in bold (like in MS Visual Studio). It shouldn't make the following parameters jump around tho 'cause of a large difference in width for normal/bold text.

    - an internal API manager would be awesome! (create new languages, add functions, edit, remove)

    Glad it's working! Please add these suggestions to the issue tracker and I'll take a look:

    Probably one for the visual changes and one for the manager would be a good split.
