New Update Notepad++ (Updates Thread)

[lokamoka820]

I have not paid a lot of attention to my notepad++, I currently have 8.7.0.0 and it says there's available version 8.7.5 -- wondering do I have to pay $ to get 8.8.1??

EDIT the notepad++ website has 8.8.1 available so I installed it ok, just "odd" the update function in my 8.7 did not see it...

This is a normal behavior from Notepad++, the auto-update is usually triggered 1–2 weeks after initial release, just in case there are major regressions that weren’t found during the internal testing and the release-candidate timeframe. After a sufficient time period, the developer then decides to trigger the auto-update when he has time to do the triggering.

Auto-Trigger​

If you used installation package when you originally installed, the Auto Update feature is active by default. Every 15 days auto-updater (WinGUp) will be launched for checking, and you will be notified if a new version is available. You are presented with the option of installing that newer version.

---

Upgrade On-Demand​

Using the ? > Update Notepad++ menu command. This will check whether there is a new version and whether the safety delay is over. If so, you are presented with the opportunity to download and install the newer version.

Upgrading

Notepad++ is an actively maintained piece of software, and new versions come fast. There are basically four ways to keep abreast of changes: Auto-Trigger If you used installation package when you originally installed, the Auto Update feature is active by default. Every 15 days auto-updater...

Notepad++ 8.8.7

With this release v8.8.7 Notepad++ is now signed by a legitimate certificate issued by GlobalSign. This is a major security milestone, and it should permanently resolve all concers regarding the authencity and integrity of Notepad++ releases.

It’s been a challenging few months, struggling with administrative hurdles and dealing with certificate authorities to make this happen. Essentially, for an open-source project to obtain a certificate under its name, it must be recongnized as a business entity. In our case, that meant creating and registering a nonprofit organization (NPO) with the project name in the maintainer’s country of residence. This process fullfilled the certificate company’s requirements.

“the XML returned by the update server is now signed (XMLDSig), and the certificate & signature verification will be enforced starting with upcoming v8.9.2, expected in about one month.“
As promised in the announcement Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers, this release strengthens the weakest links in Notepad++ update process.

This “double lock” design makes the Notepad++ update process robust and effectively unexploitable.
In addition to this major hardening, WinGUp (the auto-updater) has been also reinforced:

1. Removed the libcurl.dll dependency to eliminate DLL side-loading risk.
2. Removed 2 unsecured cURL SSL options: CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST & CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE.
3. Restricted plugin management execution to program signed with the same certificate as WinGUp (i.e. only signed Notepad++).
