Well, the only way I know a new build is available is when I use the 'Check for new version' menu item; I rarely, if ever, check the release notes here. The thing is that in version .99, checking for an update didn't come up with the 'new version available' message, though if, as you say, it shouldn't work until the actual release is out, then it is behaving as expected. My only obvservation was that this always worked before, with incremental updates, until this update.

Shouldn't links like the following also be clickable in html files?

Thats not a link though - thats HTML code to insert an image. A link is using the anchor <a> tag.

Yes, it is a direct link now, wrapped in < a > tags. In your code example, it is a link to an image. I see your point though, you would like all 'links' clickable. Some other editors do this, and I could see it might be handy, though it's not something I use, or would probably use.

Yes, exactly. All links should be clickable. I just tested it in EditPlus and it recognized it as a clickable link.

That doesn't solve the problem with all https links, though. They really should be supported, too.

If wanting it to work like it should is nit-picking, then I am guilty as charged. :)
