  • Fixed #74: Intellisense not working as expected.
  • Added workaround for the ricent Scintilla changes around SciMsg.SCN_CHARADDED notifications.

New in CS-Script for Notepad++ 2.0.3.0 (Jan 22, 2023)

  • Npp compatibility checking (Issue #64) is disabled in favor of hard-codded compatibility for new Scintille.TextRange API.
  • The checking algorithm became fragile in the latest releases of NPP when the editor restarts itself in Admin mode.
  • Updated CS-Script embedded engine to v4.6.4

New in CS-Script for Notepad++ 2.0.0.0 (Apr 21, 2022)

  • New features and changes:
  • The plugin requires .NET 6 or higher to be installed on the target system for scripts to be run.
  • It is possible now to integrate the plugin to use a custom version of CS-Script and syntax services (e.g. installed from Chocolaty).
  • You can do it from the settings dialog.
  • New limitations:
  • If you need your scripts to target .NET Framework then you will need to install the older version.
  • v1.7.29.0: https://github.com/oleg-shilo/cs-script.npp/releases/tag/v1.7.29.0
  • If you only need to use .NET Framework assemblies from your script you can rely on .NET bridge mode available with .NET Core runtime (e.g. WPF under .NET Core).
  • Some plugin legacy features are no longer available:
  • All Debugger features are removed.
  • This is because the .NET debugger available in previous releases does not support .NET Core runtime.
  • Use external debuggers instead ("Debug" button on CS-Script toolbar)
  • The interception of the Debug output of the script is removed.
  • This is because the .NET Core runtime no longer supports this technique.
