Back in August 2019, Microsoft announced that it would be bringing the Notepad app to the Store, allowing for faster and more responsive updates to the much-loved app. Oh, finally. I've been looking for a good text editor
Especially one with the ability to text-zoom. /eyeroll

The question is... is this the version with or without publicity?

Notepad.exe has been going for years without updates; the current "improvements" are not enough to get one to download notepad since there's better products out there at the same price (free). It's only advantage was that it was part of the system, and as such, you'd always have it preinstalled.
If it is not preinstalled, it is not worth the effort of installing.
IMO, "updating" the application with those new features is a waste of money and resources

Many other "text processors" keep the original format.
I do use it as a mid-stop to avoid moving propietary formats between applications, and for that is one of the best I have seen
Additionally this helps to spot weird chars in URLs too
If they haven't changed that... I think it still is worth the download.

Any textbox can do that; you could use the CodeProject forum for that even - just remember to not submit your clipboards' contents

Scientists manning gravitational wave detectors have reported picking up on vibrations from a distant cosmic collision which eerily harmonizes with the opening chords in Elvis Presley’s 1961 hit ‘I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You’ Elvis never died, he just returned to the stars

And it seems likely that what is said today as reportage will tomorrow be thought of as comedy.

He didn't even have to return to them - he always was there, with them.

It’s time to get jazzed about the future of the .NET ecosystem! A chance to rewrite all your .NET Framework apps?
|
|
|
|
|
I have today been looking for a bit of information regarding this, because our App is facing a new major version (total re-do).
What a headache...
.Net Framework is a bit risky for the future, we are already re-doing the basics, don't want to do a big port in a couple of years.
.Net 5 is not released yet and as always the first versions are going to be a bit "dangerous"
.Net Core 3.0 or 3.1 is a start, they are already out there long enough to have grown a bit stability and madurity. But... If you don't trust the "start doing it in .Net Core, porting it to .Net 5 will be trivial"
Good that I am not the one having to decide (although I have to debate it too)

WHY do you have to port YET AGAIN? It's all crap.

That's exactly my thought and my problem.
I don't trust it will be that trivial. They have already messed it up several times, so why should this time be different?

There's a document somewhere that the Longterm Servicing (LTS) Version of .NET 5 will be .NET 6 next year. So if you decide to upgrade it's probably best to skip 5 and target 6, at which point it will be much more solid and, being LTS, you can relax for the next decade.

Good to know, thanks.
Pity that we'll need / have to start our re-do in near future.

If you can. Lots of deprecated functionality...
