This release fixes problems that have been reported in earlier releases:
Issues Resolved:
- For Posix regular expressions, replacement formats in existing macros were not converted to the new Perl format.
- In regular expressions in macros, [^...] is now changed to [^...\r\n] to constrain it to the end of line.

TextPad 7.0.0
This release implements the following enhancements, and fixes problems that have been reported in earlier releases:
Enhancements:
- Perl/Javascript compatible regular expressions, with no constraints on the use of registers when matching multiple lines.
- The previous Unix and Posix regular expressions are no longer supported, but those defined for any user tools or embedded in macros will be automatically converted.
- The binary file viewer and Find in Files command can now read files of unlimited (well, 64-bit) size.
- Find in Files now runs in a separate thread, so that you can carry on doing other things while it works.
- Two new commands in the View category, which can be assigned to shortcut keys, to display the Find and Replace dialog boxes.
- Six new commands in the Search category, which can be assigned to shortcut keys, to set and clear the state of Match Words, Match Case and Regular Expression.
- New command in the Select category, which can be assigned to a shortcut key, to swap the cursor from one end of the selection to the other.
- Increased the number of recently used find/replace strings to 20.
Issues Resolved:
- Fixed the option to add TextPad to Explorer's context menu in Windows 8.
- 64-bit file system redirection is disabled so that files in 64-bit Windows folders can now be edited. Note that redirection cannot be bypassed with the File Open/Save As dialog boxes, so use Windows Explorer to pass files to TextPad, or use the Quick Open (Crtl+Shift+O) command.
- Commands on the system menu are now ignored while a macro is playing, so it's no longer possible to maximize, restore or close a window.
- If TextPad was minimized when it was closed, it now starts in a normal window.

- Switching from text to hex on the Find dialog box did not correctly convert the search string.
- The Portable Wizard failed to take account of non-standard folders for macros and syntax files.
- Screen readers could cause a crash when the Tools preferences dialog box was displayed.
- The Close button on document tabs was not displayed, when files were opened from the command line.
- If the focus was in the docked Tool Output window, when a tool was run, parameters such as $BaseName were not applied to the topmost document.
- When a new document was saved, or a file was renamed, it was not repositioned in sorted order in the document selector.
- Documents with horizontally and vertically split views were not loaded correctly from workspace files.
- 64-bit integers were not sorted correctly.
- Default fonts for document classes did not take account of the Control Panel setting for the default non-Unicode code page.

TextPad 6.0
This release implements the following enhancements, and fixes problems that have been reported in earlier releases:
Enhancements:
- Implemented an XML file for storing configuration preferences. Eliminating use of the registry allows TextPad to be run from portable media.

Potentially breaking changes:
- Windows 2000 is no longer supported.
- Workspace files are not backwardly compatible with TextPad 5. They will be automatically converted to the new format on opening.
- Deleted the commands to convert between the DOS and ANSI code pages. This can still be done using the Save As command.
Issues resolved:
- Did not correctly detect files bigger than 2GB. Such files cannot be edited.
- The View in Web Browser command should have displayed any file in its default viewer, or in the default web browser for unregistered file types.
- Opened files were not added to the Recent list for the TextPad entry on the Windows 7/Vista Start menu.
- The option to print only odd or even pages did not work.
- In block selection mode, Shift+End sometimes did not select to the end of the longest line.
- The cursor was sometimes placed in the middle of characters in certain fonts, such as Calibri.
