latest Leafpad compiled in OE

EasyOS has the Leafpad text editor. This is a gtk+2 application and is a dead project. Easy has version 0.8.15, which was released in 2008. It has a bug; the "Find Next" menu item doesn't work.

I checked, there is version 0.8.19, released in 2022. So, have compiled that in OpenEmbedded, and it will be in the next release of Easy Scarthgap. Don't know if it fixes the bug; hope so.

Here is the homepage:

...it says latest is 0.8.17, which is wrong.

Leafpad is included in Easy as a simpler alternative to Geany. Perhaps should think of finding a replacement.
