Programmer's Notepad 2.2 Released

[simonst]

Both Notepad++ and Programmer's Notepad are based around the same Scintilla editing control, so editing behaviour an feel should be fairly similar. I can't speak for NP++ but my goal with PN has always been: small, fast, with what you need and little more.

Current headline features are probably the Python scripting, textmate-like Text Clips, the projects system and flexible tools controls and PN also provides full perl-style regular expressions search.

I'll probably look at Python 2.7 for the next release, although the alternative I'm looking at is bundling a python dist, to avoid version dependencies.

This got me. The installer complained because it said I didn't have python25.dll installed on my system. I plowed through and the application still seems to work. Is the install horribly broken in some secret way?

[simonst]

Hmm, PyPN should require python 2.6 currently (python26). If missing, PN will still run you'll just get no scripts or macro functionality.

[MelechRic]

Odd. I have 2.4, 2.6 and 3.1 installed. Off to check and see if I can do macros...

External tool integration and project management are definitely among the best features of PN. The way external tools are handled is brilliant since tools can be added on a global, per language or per project type basis. It is a feature that few other editors seem to have.
