Notepad++ 8.7.9 temporarily removes syntax highlighting for large files and makes other fixes
Just a quick note: A new update is available for Notepad++. Version 8.7.9 adds the low-level DirectX 11 DirectWrite 1.1 Scintilla rendering mode. Syntax highlighting for large files has been removed due to two bugs from the previous two versions.
It's safe to assume that the bugs will be fixed and the feature will be reintegrated soon. Other fixes include:
- Fixed a bug where plugin button hiding settings in toolbarButtonsConf.xml were ignored.
- Fixed SQL backslash escape setting not taking effect immediately.
- Update to Scintilla 5.5.5 & Lexilla 5.4.3
- Adds debug info versions of external libraries (Scintilla/Lexilla/Boost).
