Notes:

• If you find any bugs or have any suggestions for the implemented lexers (and not only) feel free to provide patches/pull requests. Without patches or pull requests chances are that nothing will be fixed/implemented.
• No new features are expected to be added. You prefer new toys? Then have a look at Notepad3 or consider switching to a modern code editor like Atom or Visual Studio Code.
• This fork is not expected to be localized either.
