I've been trying to download the update, but it keeps timing out. Is China ddosing you? :)

  Times out here too. Even if the webpage seems to be under CloudFlare DDOS protection. I guess the binaries are not covered?

Does this version actually do anything for the Uyghur cause or is the blog article the extent of it? I read the article and there is an external link but I didn't see anything about how this version helps in any way other than raising awareness.

Is this the most socially aware text editor? From the homepage: > By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.

  That's interesting, the special, official forums section to say "I don't like N++" [0] is has not been found as a target by bots and is quite silent these days. However, that's surprising such category exist at all. [0]: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/category/8/boycott-notepad https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/category/8/boycott-n...
