comparePlus 1.1.0 crashes NPP

[G234i]

ComparePlus crashes NPP v8.5.7(x64) on Win 11.

It appears to successfully compare the files then freezes up and crashes.

Replacing the .dll with the latest build (Build 752) from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pnedev/compareplus seems to fix the issue

NppTextFX2 is not compatible with ComparePlus (version 1.1.0 or older): notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus#13956

[pnedev]

As @rdipardo said currently NppTextFX2 and ComparePlus have interoperability issue.
The new ComparePlus release will have that fixed but meanwhile either use only one of them or try playing with NppTextFX2 settings to disable its Notepad++ status bar usage if possible.

P.S. Or (as you have already done) use ComparePlus dev build.

The latest development build had its artifact deleted according to the AppVeyor Artifacts retention policy. How could I get the working build or when is a release planned?

[pnedev]

Here is a link to a new development build that you can use:
32-bit / 64-bit

I will try to prepare a new release during the holidays, there are a few more things I'd like to polish before that but I don't promise anything, sorry.
