I’d think that huge button on the front page of the website would be sufficient for anyone to find the most recent download.

And if your actual desire is to automate the finding of the most recent version of Notepad++, there are two options.

You can replicate the behavior of Notepad++'s built-in updater, which uses the file c:\program files\notepad++\updater\gup.xml, which has the <InfoUrl>https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php</InfoUrl> which points the updater to https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php, which has the location tag which tells you what the most recent version to auto-trigger update.

If that’s not sufficient for you, Notepad++ uses GitHub, and as with all GitHub projects, GitHub provides a redirect from https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/latest to the release/tag for the latest release. So https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/latest will always take you to the latest release. (And if you don’t know how to make your download-automation library handle simple redirects, you need to read the documentation for that library, because it’s usually just a single option toggle on any such library worth its salt.)

Please refrain from replying to this, as it is off-topic. And what makes it worse is that OP knows that it is off-topic and asked it anyway.

That’s actually pretty good (I think?), but probably belongs in this area of the site: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/category/8/boycott-notepad

@nicholas said in Brainstorming for the slogan of new release v8.4...:

while (conflict) standup++;

Nice one, but the intention (for supporting Ukraine) is not explicit.
However, thanks to your suggestion, I’ve got one:
StandWithUkraine++
the ++ not only goes with the suffix of project’s name, but also means the continuation of supporting Ukraine.

Is that the new Notepad++ wing of Starbucks, under construction in the background?

@uber-black ,

For those of us Notepad++ users who don’t know Roblox, how is this funny and Notepad++ related?

@donho
IMO, Don, it is not a big deal.
You have to take great chances to make great leaps.
Thanks for your efforts.

Hear, Hear!

@donho ,
Brings a whole new meaning to the term, “Tongue-in-cheek”. :)

@donho,

I can definitely understand this one, not just from a programming point of view, but also as a former Water Department employee point of view. :)

And no, despite the free access to view, a fountain is not a free water source, neither is the break. :)

i mean for real though. had a good laugh looking at it.

But this joke, hits hard since I was a tester in an IT firm. finding other people’s mistakes is a different kind of joy, lol

@donho
ROFLMAO…were it true. In my case, I know it’s me, I just haven’t found it yet, so I probably would have jumped. :)

Looks to be in last place to me.
