BDV Notepad 5.2 released: Explanations

We just have released new version of popular text editor BDV Notepad 5.2 and I want to give some explanations.

We have not planned to continue development of BDV Notepad 5.x because of several reasons, and main of them is missing of native Unicode support. So, we have decided to rewrite it and release version 6.0 with many new functions requested by our users.

But we were unable to develop new version soon, so we have decided to release updated version of BDV Notepad using current engine, while the development of new engine is in progress.

We have made several very important changes.

First of all, there are improved Clipboard support. Yes, you will never have question marks instead of symbols when copy/paste non-English texts anymore! Also we have fixed issue with language file when moving BDV Notepad, so working with it from a Flash-drive or CD willl be much more comfortable.

This is not complete list, but you will really like these changes!

Now about new features.

Templates: just add any portions of text as a templates and you will be able to insert them into editor during editing.

SMS module: this toolbar makes BDV Notepad an excellent tool for editing of SMS messages. There are real-time statistics on number of symbols and messages when you typing. Even more: you will see border between SMS messages. When you type some symbols, they automatically reducing size of SMS message you may send, so we have created option to highlight such symbols — you will be able then remove or replace them.

And the last of most important new features is Transliteration, which is part of SMS module. You are able to select language from which you want to transliterate text and click a button — as easy as that! If you want, you may create your own table for transliteration for your native language and with your own preferences.

As always BDV Notepad is free and we (as well as all BDV Notepad users) will be gratefull for language and transliteration files sent to us. Version 6.0 coming soon...
