Linux-only fork notice: This repository and its releases target Linux only. For the original Windows Notepad++ application, visit notepad-plus-plus.org.

Post-RC development maintenance prerelease for the Notepad++ Linux fork.
Prepared on 2026-02-14.
Published on: 2026-02-14.

Release gate status

• Linux integration/distribution section close (v0.10.0-beta.3): complete.
• Packaging hotfix scope (v0.10.0-beta.4): complete.
• Linux CI + release packaging lanes: green for prerelease candidate commit.
• GitHub prerelease status: published.

Scope for this prerelease

1. Fix RPM packaging path handling introduced in v0.10.0-beta.3 release automation.
2. Keep native package outputs enabled and deterministic (.pkg.tar.zst, .deb, .rpm).
3. Publish maintenance prerelease without changing user-facing editor features.

Highlights

1. RPM %install staging now copies into %{buildroot}/usr explicitly.
2. RPM %files now includes /usr/share/notepad-plus-plus-linux/default-update-channel.
3. Fedora RPM artifact generation succeeds for prerelease tags again.

Known limitations

1. In-app update remains channel-selection only; auto-download/apply is still out of scope.
2. Wayland QA remains a smoke lane, not a full compositor matrix.
