Software Update: EditPad Lite 8.3.0

JGsoft has released version 8.3.0 of the free text editor EditPad Lite. This program is not intended for programmers, who should use EditPad Pro, RJ TextEd or Notepad++. This is more of a replacement for the Notepad that comes with Windows. Unlike Notepad, EditPad Lite can open an unlimited number of files in the same screen, has no limit on the size of files to open, and the number of undos and redos is unlimited. EditPad Lite is free for private use, but businesses can purchase a license if there is no need for all extras that the Pro version offers. The following improvements have been made in this release:

improvement:

• Single-line edit controls now select all their contents when they receive keyboard focus as they used to do in EditPad 7 and as they do in most Windows applications.

Bug fixes:

• AceText would sometimes paste into the Search or Replace box when the multi-line Search panel is a floating window even though EditPad’s main editor control had keyboard focus.
• File Types|Brackets: Changing the option to highlight brackets within tags now immediately updates bracket matching in files that are already open.
• Search|Find Next now indicates no match can be found instead of looping when the cursor is at the end of the search range and the option to loop automatically is off; this stops it from looping when searching for a regex that finds a zero-length match at the end of the search range.
