Notepad++ is version 5 now.
In order to make v5 deserve its version number, Harry and I work hard for this release.

These are main features added in v5 :
* The performance of Notepad++ v5 is improved - especially on exit.
* Function parameters calltip hint : in a modern IDE, it always comes together with auto-completion. In this version of Notepad++ calltip feature is implemented as extension of auto-completion. All the api files for auto-completion are now under xml format(with extension .xml).
Calltip is available for all the supported languages - you just need to add them(the php.xml is complete).
Here is the tutorial for this now functionality :

* Tags match highlight : it will be adored by html/xml guys. The colours can be configured in Styler Configurator dialog. Check Preference dialog to disable this feature (through I don't know why you want to do that).
* Enhancement of adding item in context menu : All the plugin commands can be added into context menu. Furthermore adding context menu items in contextMenu.xml is easier in this version. Note that for the sake of backward compatibility, id attribute will still work on the future release.

Here you can find context menu howto :
