Previous versions sometimes timed out on flaky connections. Build 632 introduces a "Keep Alive" interval (Settings > FTP > Advanced). Now, when editing remote config.php or .htaccess files on a shared host, you won’t lose your changes to a dropped connection.

Build 632 ships with updated syntax highlighters:

Built-in browser for previewing HTML and integrated FTP/SFTP/FTPS for direct remote file editing.

Before we examine technical deep-dives, let’s establish what makes this specific build noteworthy:

While version 6.0 introduced major engine overhauls, Build 632 specifically addresses:

VS Code wins for modern web development with plugins. Notepad++ wins for price. But EditPlus wins for stability, remote file editing, and raw speed on legacy or constrained hardware.

It is designed to be a text editor, HTML editor, and programmer's editor for Windows. It strips away the overhead of a full IDE, offering a startup time measured in milliseconds rather than seconds. However, unlike barebones tools like Windows Notepad, EditPlus is feature-rich, offering syntax highlighting, code folding, and a robust extensibility model.

Fixed "Could not create K value" errors on Windows 8.1 and crashes when re-opening files from deleted FTP accounts.

Out-of-the-box support for HTML, PHP, Java, C/C++, CSS, Python, Ruby on Rails, and more. Users can also create custom syntax files for any other language.
