Notepad++ hits 5.0 release

One of the best editors for Windows - Notepad++, just hit a 5.0 release. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a source editor for Windows written with Win32 APIs (and none of that .NET slowness that accompanies all of the latest apps) with syntax highlighting, code folding, and a few other features developed via plug-ins (such as FTP folder synchronization and HTML find-and-replace).

New version features a whole bunch of improvements to the typeaheads for popular languages, and auto-completion, common features for IDEs. Previously it matched opening and closing braces, now it matches opening and closing tags in XHTML. There are a few speed improvements, but since the editor was so fast before, I didn’t notice the incremental improvements.
