Nextpad++ v1.1.2

Native Linux port of Notepad++ / macOS Nextpad++, built on GTK4 + Scintilla. amd64 + arm64 — and, new this release, 32-bit i386 and armhf packages.

A polish release: a dozen and a half reports investigated and closed across the two trackers, the Tahoe-style toolbar settled in, translation lookup made deterministic in all 137 languages — and the Linux family grows downward with official 32-bit builds. macOS ships the same release at nextpad-plus-plus-macos.

New: Nextpad++ goes 32-bit

• i386 .deb — for x86 machines living a second life on a 32-bit distribution: Debian 12 and 13, antiX, MX Linux, Q4OS and friends (one package covers the current 32-bit Debian family)
• armhf .deb — Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit, current Debian-13-based images) and Debian 13 armhf; the older bookworm-based legacy Pi image uses an incompatible ABI and isn't covered
• Both are the full application, npp terminal editor included — a headless Pi over SSH is npp's natural habitat. Two honest footnotes: files up to 2 GB (32-bit's architectural limit), and the plugin catalog for these builds starts out empty — plugins are 64-bit for now and will follow if the 32-bit builds find their audience

The Linux tracker, cleared out

• npp starts on every distribution (#8) — the terminal editor now carries its own statically linked ncurses instead of tripping over each distro's flavor
• Preferences window fixed (#9, #11) — closing it with the title-bar ✕ and reopening could present the wrong window, or none; both reports were one bug, now gone
• Mouse wheel works over long menus (#10) — an open submenu no longer swallows scrolling over a tall menu (Language, say)
• Markdown code fences behave (#13) — autocompletion no longer hijacks the Enter key; the Auto-Completion preferences page was rebuilt to match macOS, including the missing Matched pair 1–3 auto-insert settings
• The Document Map draws again — it could come up blank until poked
• Menus are safe at launch — opening a menu in the first seconds after startup could crash the app on some distributions
• Dark-mode details — tooltips now follow light/dark mode, and selected rows in the side panels are finally readable in dark themes
• Help menu — Nextpad++ Home (nextpad.org) and Nextpad++ Linux Project Page, correctly named, linked and translated

Everyday improvements (shared with macOS)

• Tab tooltips (#354) — hover any tab to see the file's full path; unsaved documents show their name and last-edit time
• Fold Level folds exactly one level (#343) — in Python and every indentation-based language (YAML, Haskell…), matching Windows Notepad++
• Preferences apply without Enter (#341) — typed values stick when you close the window; based on community PR #344 by arj-co
• Show Symbol toggles persist (#339) — apply to all tabs and survive a restart
• Status bar stays in its lane (#345) — a long path no longer pushes the window wider
• Tahoe-style toolbar polish — plugin buttons from uninstalled plugins are listed greyed as "(not loaded)", and an all-hidden Plugins capsule is called out plainly in Preferences
• A small ♥ Donate link now sits in the About dialog and on the update card — no pop-ups, no guilt trips

Lost in translation, found again

• Deterministic translation lookup (#349) — the same English string now always finds the same translation, in every one of the 137 languages, plus a batch of missing translations
• Chinese/Japanese vocabulary repairs (#340) — nine homonym slips fixed ("0 matches" read as "0 sports games" in Simplified Chinese)

npp 0.9.1

The terminal editor no longer repaints your terminal's color palette on exit (#342), and — per #8 above — runs on every distribution the app does.

What's next

1.1.3 will be the plugin release — a large wave of newly ported classic Notepad++ plugins, plus new dark themes with Sublime Text and VS Code color schemes. And further out, said with all the usual caveats: an Android build is being explored, maybe sometime this year.
