Notepad++ is a generic source code editor (it tries to be anyway) and Notepad replacement written in

	VB lexer bugs fixed for preprocessor directive below a comment or some other states and
	to use string not closed style back to the starting quote when there are internal doubled quotes.
	</li>
	<li>
	C++ lexer allows identifiers to contain '$' and non-ASCII characters such as UTF-8.
	The '$' character can be disallowed with lexer.cpp.allow.dollars=0.
	</li>
	<li>
	Perl lexer allows UTF-8 identifiers and has some other small improvements.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE's $(CurrentWord) uses word.characters.&lt;filepattern&gt; to define the word
	rather than a hardcoded list of word characters.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE Export as HTML adds encoding information for UTF-8 file and fixes DOCTYPE.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE session and .recent files default to the user properties directory rather than global
	properties directory.
	</li>
	<li>
	Left and right scroll events handled correctly on GTK+ and horizontal scroll bar has more sensible
	distances for page and arrow clicks.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE on GTK+ tab bar fixed to work on recent versions of GTK+.
	</li>
	<li>

	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE on GTK+ can redefine the Insert key.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE scripting interface bug fixed where some string properties could not be changed.

    </h3>
    <ul>
	<li>
	Released on 20 June 2006.
	</li>
	<li>
	On GTK+, character set conversion is performed using an option that allows approximate conversions rather
	than failures when a character can not be converted. This may lead to similar characters being inserted or
	when no similar character is available a '?' may be inserted.
	</li>
	<li>
	On GTK+, the internationalised IM (Input Method) feature is used for all typed input for all character sets.
	</li>
	<li>
	Scintilla has new margin types SC_MARGIN_BACK and SC_MARGIN_FORE that use the default
	style's background and foreground colours (normally white and black) as the background to the margin.
	</li>
	<li>
	Scintilla/GTK+ allows file drops on Windows when drop is of type DROPFILES_DND
	as well as text/uri-list.
	</li>
	<li>
	Code page can only be set to one of the listed valid values.
	</li>
	<li>
	Text wrapping fixed for cases where insertion was not wide enough to trigger
	wrapping before being styled but was after styling.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE find marks are removed before printing or exporting to avoid producing incorrect styles.
	</li>
    </ul>

	<li>
	Released on 17 December 2005.
	</li>
	<li>
	Scintilla checks the paint region more accurately when seeing if an area is being
	repainted. Platform layer implementations may need to change for this to take
	effect. This fixes some drawing and styling bugs. Also optimized some parts of
	marker code to only redraw the line of the marker rather than whole of the margin.
	</li>
	<li>
	Quoted identifier style for SQL. SQL folding performed more simply.

	</li>
	<li>
	Bash lexer handles here documents better.

	characters in the regular expression style. This is both in JavaScript files and when
	JavaScript is embedded in HTML.
	</li>
	<li>
	Scintilla API provided to reveal how many style bits are needed for the
	current lexer.
	</li>

	<li>
	Default bookmark in SciTE changed to a blue sphere image.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE stores the time of last asking for a save separately for each buffer
	which fixes bugs with automatic reloading.
	</li>
	<li>
	On Windows, pasted text has line ends converted to current preference.
	GTK+ already did this.
	</li>
	<li>
	Kid template language better handled by HTML lexer by finishing ASP Python
	mode when a ?> is found.
	</li>
	<li>
	SciTE counts number of characters in a rectangular selection correctly.

	SciTE HTML exporter no longer honours monospaced font setting.

	now used to ensure that the layout reentrancy problem that caused this
	is easier to find.
	</li>
	<li>
	Speed optimized for long lines and lines containing many control characters.
	</li>
	<li>
