Windows Notepad fixed after 33 years: Now it finally handles Unix, Mac OS line endings
Found on The Register on Wednesday, 09 May 2018
Microsoft's text editing app, which has been shipping with Windows since version 1.0 in 1985, has finally been taught how to handle line endings in text files created on Linux, Unix, Mac OS, and macOS devices.
Opening a file written on macOS, Mac OS, Linux, or Unix-flavored computers in Windows Notepad therefore looked like a long wall of text with no separation between paragraphs and lines. Relief arrives in the current Windows 10 Insider Build.
Congratulations, it only took 33 years to fix that. Now in the next three decades, maybe it will get another feature: more than one undo step.
