    Very nice prog. Startup time is marginally slower than Notepad++, but I really like the syncedit feature.

    + ext. tools: macros added: {FileNameNoExt}, {FileExt}, {CurrentLine}
    * opt "Minimap color" moved to Colors tab, saved in color presets
    * opt "Misc - Zen Coding line breaks": added "XHTML" variant
    + LESS lexer has tweaks of CSS (same autocomplete chars, Zen Coding)
