What's new in this version:

Notes:
Thanks to GUP, Notepad++ v4.6 has the capacity to search and install the update package (if available) from Internet.
GUP (Generic Updater) project is made originally for Notepad++. During its conception, one idea came in my mind : if it can fit Notepad++, it can fit any Windows program. Thus the birth of GUP. See : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gup-w32/ and http://gup-w32.sourceforge.net/ for more detail of GUP.

Only Installer integrates the auto-updater module (optional). So if you use zipped version, you have to download GUP from its project page, create "update" directory in Notepad++ installed directory, unzip the package into it then edit gup.xml file. To disable auto-update feature (in the case this module is installed), Go the Preferences dialog, uncheck "Enable Notepad++ auto-updater" (located in MISC).
