What’s Next for UltraEdit?
You’ve reached the end of UE 2024.3 updates but we have some news about what’s in store for UltraEdit for this coming year of development.
We’re now working on taking our plugin framework to its next iteration. This will most likely include the plugin SDK we teased a while back plus new ways to create and manage the plugins.
And like we did in this release, we’re also renewing our focus on user-requested enhancements and quality improvements, building on the successes of the 2024.3 version.
