Download EditPad Pro 7.4.0

JGsoft has not only updated its free text editor EditPad Lite, a new version of EditPad Pro has also been released. While EditPad Lite is intended as a replacement for Notepad, EditPad Pro is more intended for programmers. For example, there is a spell checker that takes syntax coloring into account, and a hex editor, a file-compare option, a bookmark option and an embedded ftp client. A complete overview of the extra options compared to the Lite version can be found on this page are being found. In version 7.4.0 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New features:

• FTP: SFTP authentication via private key instead of a password.
• Install: Change installation folder via the /appfolder command line parameter for silent installations.

Improvements:

• FTP: SSH and SFTP connections can now use diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 for key exchange.
• FTP: SSH and SFTP connections can now use the CTR encryption mode.
• FTP: SSH and SFTP connections now prompt whether you want to accept the server key.
• FTP: SSL and TLS connections now prompt whether you want to accept the server certificate, with an option to automatically accept certificates that match the server address and aren’t expired.
• Installer no longer asks to accept the license agreement if you already have EditPad Lite 7.xx installed.
• Installer now puts a single shortcut directly in the Start menu which better fits the Start menu on Windows 10.
• Preferences|Side Panels: Selecting a dark background color for the side panels now makes EditPad select a different theme for tree views that provides more contrast when you restart EditPad.
• Updated OpenSSL to 1.0.2e.
• Windows 10: New look for the menus and toolbars on Windows 10 to add a bit more contrast to EditPad’s user interface.
• Windows 10: Preserved window position now allows the visible portion of the window border to sit directly against the edge of the screen.

Bug fixes:

• Convert|Wrapping->Line Breaks no longer disables word wrap when only a selection is being converted.
• Do not prompt again checkbox on the question whether a file that was modified on disk and has unsaved changes did not stop the prompt if the choice was to reload the file.
• File Navigator did not update immediately (going blank instead) after a command like Extra|Trim Whitespace that operates on the entire file.
• FTP: SFTP and SSH connections did not work in some of the translated versions of EditPad Pro.
• Hexadecimal mode: Blocks consisting entirely of bytes <= 0x20 could not be pasted in the left hand section of the hex editor.
• Macros: Closing EditPad with the icon next to the system clock active did not stop macro recording.
• Search: Replacing all matches of a regular expression in a large file would in rare circumstances only partially insert one or more replacements if the replacement was longer than the match (introduced in 7.3.2 and partially fixed in 7.3.5).
• Search Matches: Some elements such as the folding icons did not use the colors specified in the palette used by the active file.
• Tools|Files: Each of the options to open files after running the tool caused EditPad Pro to leak some memory each time the tool was run.
• Tools|Files: Each of the options to open files after running the tool caused File|Reload from Disk to be disabled for the current file until you closed and reopened it.
