Pineapple Notepad 0.3.0

Release Note

This is the 3rd public release for Pineapple Notepad as a Freeware, comes with bug-fixes, new features and also brings Linux support to more distros as well.

Note that the application is still considered as a experimental/testing release. While it will very unlikely cause any issues, I still suggest you avoid editing serious documents to avoid potential unexpected data loss.

Since we are still not yet meet the Open Source Sponsor Goal, this release will be a binary-only release. You can help me reach the goal and make this application as a Free and Open Source Software, read the Funding section below.

• Windows (amd64)
• macOS (arm64)
• Linux (amd64):

Note

For Linux users, please consider install kde-style-breeze package (Breeze style for Qt Widgets-based applications) for best experience.

Note

For macOS users, the application is not signed, you might need to xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pnotepad.app in order to run this application without warning.
