False Positive Fixed
This revision fixes a false positive issue with Microsoft Defender.
Thanks a lot!! It's a good
Thanks a lot!! It's a good relief, as I even thought that my computer was hacked via a Trojan yesterday...
By the way, the new Rev 2
Notepad++Portable.exe's timestamp is earlier than that of the previous one (which is a false positive of MS Defender). So is it by design or actually an earlier version of the portablizer works as expected or better for Notepad++ v8.6?Previous Version
It's the same launcher used in the version before 8.6. There are no changes to the way it's portablized or the code. It's just recompiled as part of the build process.
