Download AkelPad 4.8.6

Version 4.8.6 of AkelPad has been released. This fast open source text editor is less than half a megabyte in size unpacked, but it still has an extensive range features. It can be used as a replacement for the Notepad or Notepad supplied with Windows, but also for programming. Through plugins add additional functionality, including syntax highlighting, autocompletion, scripts, and macros. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changed:

• Regular expression quantifiers now greedy by default (except for single dot, like, “.*” or “. {5,10}”). To make it non-greedy (old behaviour) use “?” after quantifier, like, “d*?”. AkelPad’s regular expressions greediness works consequentially. For example, pattern “ab?b” in “abc” has no matches, because “ab?” matches “ab” and next “b” has no match. Correct pattern will be “abb?”.
• When using “Don’t open a program twice” option, manual settings “CmdLineBegin” and “CmdLineEnd” passed only to the first instance of the program (MDI).

Added:

• Manual parameters “TabNameFind” and “TabNameRep” – defines regular expression search/replace pattern for tab name in MDI/PMDI mode.
• Escape key interrupts column marker movement with mouse.
• Optional parameter in command line method /Command() for passing to internal command.

Fixed:

• Notepad replacement mode in installer (WinVista/7/8).
