Don Ho just released 4.2.1. Funny how you get 4.2 set up just to have a new version come out a day later. :lol:

Vintage!

They released it less than 24 hours after 4.2 (which was just released yesterday) due to an issue with the Explorer.dll plugin. So, I made the same change with my package.

As always, it's the same as the standard release. I don't add or take away (except the Windows Explorer integration plugin, which you should never use with a portable app).

As stated dozens of times, I get notifications of new releases.

Sorry, it's just a touchy thing. There are dozens of people that start jumping on me the minute a new app comes out. Since Notepad++ did 3 releases in less than 72 hours, I'm giving it a bit to be sure it's stable. And, I'll probably hold off in the future with Notepad++ releases (giving it at least a few days). Version churn this quickly is confusing to users and makes things look less stable.

I know it's a touchy subject, so my apologies if it came off that way. Heck, I've got a PC, laptop, and my portable stick to update. I feel your pain!

Anyways, water under the bridge. As always, keep up the good work!

This has been updated to 4.2.2 due to the 3rd release by Notepad++. No mention was made of bug fixes, etc, between 4.2.0, 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 other than a problem with the Explorer plugin (which was removed in 4.2.1). So, I've updated this to the 4.2.2 release.
