This not answers my question. I just don't see any necessity to update an editor like Notepad++ at all. Such programs are usually stable and there is no need to add new features constantly. Even security vulnerabilities don't matter much, since a text editor isn't that critical piece of software.
My Notepad++ installation, for example, is 5 years old and it's fine for me.

As others have mentioned it a program like this should default into a configuration that has no networking capabilities.
