Originally called MEDIT, it was designed to run in Windows 3.1. A version called UltraEdit-32 was later created to run in Windows NT and Windows 95. The last 16-bit UltraEdit program was 6.20b.

Beginning with version 11, the Wintertree spell check engine was replaced by GNU Aspell.

In version 13 (2007), JavaScript was added to the existing Macro facility for automation tasks. UltraEdit's JavaScript uses JavaScript 1.7.

UltraEdit-32 was renamed to UltraEdit in version 14.00. Version 22.2 was the first native 64-bit version of the text editor.

An installation of UltraEdit takes about 100 MB of disk space.

  • Integration with CSE HTML Validator for offline HTML, XHTML and CSS checking
  • HTML toolbar preconfigured for popular functions and HTML tags
  • Customize tags in HTML toolbar or create new tags and buttons

UltraEdit is Trialware: It can be evaluated for free for 30 or 15 days, depending on usage. After expiration of this period, the application will work only with a regular license key.

Reviews

In a review published on June 4, 2004 PC Magazine, the author said that UltraEdit v10.0 is the editor's favorite text editor.[6] In a review published on July 9, 2006 Softpedia wrote UltraEdit contains plenty of features useful for all types of users and that it considered the program "excellent".[7]

UltraEdit is an award-winning text editor. CNET/Download.com says about UltraEdit: "With its clear layout and powerful project and work-space features, it can handle complex and sophisticated software-development projects. But despite its vast range of features, UltraEdit never feels overwhelming. It's flexible and easy to customize, and the polished user interface provides easy access to the most important options..."[8]

gollark: ... of what, our conversations with you or just anything about coronavirus?
gollark: ... okay, then...
gollark: "If you didnt do anything wrong, then you shouldnt be worried" only works if you cast "not being happy with things" as "wrong", as well as "being associated with people who did "wrong" things", and expect that people will just never care about politics.
gollark: I agree that that can sometimes be a problem, but it also means people can actually suggest improvements or dislike things without fearing for their lives.
gollark: People might disagree with how you run things and that's really not a good reason to imprison/whatever them.
