Notepad++ has a bit of a history in releasing versions in support of various campaigns, ranging from a "Je suis Charlie" edition to a "Tiananmen June Fourth Incident" edition.

I remember one edition included an auto-typing feature, where a new tab would be opened, and content start typing into it, which frankly was quite alarming for an update of a piece of software that you've been using for a while...



I believe the typing content was itself the changelog for that particular release and the flak received by the author will prevent it from happening again in the future afaik.
