Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade textpad -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade textpad -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

TextPad 9.5.0 (9-Jun-2024)##

Enhancements:

  • More themes are available for customizing the appearance of the user interface.
  • Scripts in languages such as Python, PHP and awk can now be used to edit documents. For more information, see "HOWTOs" in the forum.

Issues resolved:

  • If a workspace containing modified new documents was open at the time Windows Update automatically restarted the operating system, when TextPad was restarted, it reported that it could not save backup files for each of the new documents.
  • When Windows Update recovered modified files on restart, a separate prompt to reload the file should not have been issued.
  • In HTML files, numbers were not syntax highlighted.
  • The target document should have been activated when the Tool Output window was closed.
  • The dialog box for Manage History Lists could not be resized vertically.
  • The Save Configuration command did not save the selected appearance.
  • If the option to "Minimize when last document is closed" was set, TextPad was minimized when switching workspaces.
  • Macro commands to change the case of selected text only changed the first character, if the default scope of the macro was "Selection".
  • Copying text within a single line in block mode should not have appended a newline character.

This package has no dependencies.
