Check for New Releases

Included in v2.5 and later versions of Notpad is a new feature that lets you check to see if any new releases of Notpad are available. Simply click on the menu item ‘Help -> On the Web -> Check for Updates’ and Notpad downloads a special configuration file from the Notpad web site which includes info about the latest version available. If a new version has been released then a dialog is presented which tells you what version is available, when it was released and a URL to download it from.

For this option to work correctly, you must have the WININET DLL installed on your system. For further info see the Common Problems section.
