Download EditPad Lite 8.4.2

Just Great Software has released version 8.4.2 of the free text editor EditPad Lite. This program is not intended for programmers; they are better off using EditPad Pro, RJ TextEd or Notepad++. This is more of a replacement for the Notepad that comes with Windows. Unlike Notepad, EditPad Lite can open an unlimited number of files in the same screen, has no limit on the size of files it can open, and has unlimited undos and redos. EditPad Lite is free for private use and companies can purchase a license if there is no need for it at all extras that the Pro version offers. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Improvement:

• Improved scrolling performance, particularly when doing so by rotating a stepless mouse wheel.

Bug fixes:

• Dragging a file from WinRAR and dropping it onto EditPad’s main editor created a blank tab with the name of the file instead of loading the temporary file that WinRAR extracted the file to (EditPad did correctly open the temp file when dropping anywhere onto EditPad except its main editor).
• Edit|Delete Line now properly deletes the last line in the file when the cursor is after the last line break in the file.
• File Types|Colors: Color picker was not restricted to the solarized, harmonized, or monochrome colors when customizing a solarized, harmonized, or monochrome palette (since 8.1.0).
• Help|Create Portable Installation did not copy over the user word lists with learned words and learned replacements.
• Regex: Subroutine calls to capturing groups defined inside lookbehind are now a syntax error; previously such calls were incorrectly matched from right to left, possibly causing the regex engine to get stuck in an infinite loop.
• Text Layout: Visualizing control characters as IBM PC glyphs or as Unicode control pictures now highlights them with the “Editor: Control Characters” color (which has a wavy underline in most built-in palettes) when using a complex script text layout just as it does with left-to-right text layouts.
• Word wrapping now takes into account the text layout’s option for visualizing control characters when determining the width of control characters.
