I’m pleased to announce that MarkdownPad version 2.1.8 supports three new languages: German (Germany, de-DE), Polish (Poland, pl-PL), and Russian (Russia, ru-RU)! This brings the total number of available languages in MarkdownPad to 6, and many more are currently on the way.

My sincere thanks go to the translators that provided support for the new languages.

German (Germany, de-DE)

• Oliver Salzburg
• David Bimmler
• John AC Lupe

Polish (Poland, pl-PL)

• Michał Dziubek

Russian (Russia, ru-RU)

• Paul Klyuchnikov
• Vitaly Kuzmin

Along with these new languages, many improvements and fixes are included in this update:

• Improved: Major performance improvements to GitHub Flavored Markdown processing
• Added: Support for syntax highlighting in GitHub Flavored Markdown

• Added: New application icons (if you download and re-install MarkdownPad, you’ll also get new Markdown document icons - just a minor improvement)
• Added: Column Guide feature, available under View → Set Column Guide
• Added: Polish (pl-PL) spell check dictionary
• Improved: Focused tab no longer has a bottom border
• Improved: Many UI improvements related to localization
• Fixed: Several error messages that could occur during Markdown processing
• Updated: Polish (pl-PL) translations
• Modified: Keyboard shortcut for Save As is now Ctrl+Shift+S, as the previous Alt-based version was causing issues with international users’ keyboards
• Many minor improvements and fixes
