Release on SourceForge older than on GitHub

[Gitoffthelawn]

The release on SourceForge is currently v1.0.8.0, whereas the release here on GitHub is much newer.

Time to sync them?

Any reason for a person to use the old SourceForge version?

Also, would you prefer GitHub or SourceForge to be the main place people go to? I ask because, currently, http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=Plugin_Central#P points to SourceForge (and lists a possibly outdated email address). That might need to be updated!

• Unfortunately there seems to be no one who can modify http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=Plugin_Central ( as it is really outdated in almost all aspects it shouldn't be used any longer and was therefore removed from N++ menu)

• sourceforge is no longer used as I don't have access to it, so the webpage and the versions there are outdated and there is no reason to use that older versions

• open issue is how to go on with the webpage. maybe with the help of @bruderstein it could be moved to a github pages (https://pages.github.com/)

@chcg Thank you for the details. Much appreciated. Is there a newer Plugin Central URL (or something similar)?

@Gitoffthelawn The replacement of Plugin Central is more or less the builtin PluginAdmin of N++ (since 7.6.x) , with the plugin lists maintained at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/tree/master/src

I don't understand this "I don't have access"... are you now this project's maintainer? Did @bruderstein die or did he simply stop caring?

I've just updated NP++ after several years of leaving it idle, and the lack of PythonScript is making me regret that. I tried cloning this repo to my disk and building (in VS 2017 CE) with no success. It wants pyconfig.h and I don't know where to find that.

@mcow I have access rights to this github repo, but not to the previous sourceforge account of Dave. He is still around, but far less active compared to 2017 and before (see activity stream 2019 vs. 2017 https://github.com/bruderstein?tab=overview).

See https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/blob/master/appveyor.yml how build is working there. You need to provide a python version either via a nuget package, like done for the appveyor build or a local one, see
