“Every moment is a fresh beginning” - especially for the 1st day of the year. Even there’s no huge change in this release (but a lot of good features and bug-fixes), this version still deserves the number 8.2 - Notepad++ has come out of its “critical regression state” which was due to the change of its IO routine.
Several long time requested features like “exclude folders in Find in Files” and “auto-save loaded session on exit” are implemented in this release. Also, a workaround for the long time existing issue “UTF-8 detected wrongly as TIS-620 encoding” has been done in this version: TIS-620 encoding won’t be detected automatically anymore. Users have to set the document to TIS-620 encoding manually after loading it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
