Thanks for netbeans 26

[ivan-velikanov]

I have been using netbeans since almost 2008, and mostly on windows.
Somehow this weird clipboard bug randomly appeared a few years ago, I would keep updating netbeans thinking it will go/vanish in the latest version.
Last month only i discovered it is a JVM bug and applied the patch and got rid of it! Finally after a decade of random and worsening issue. Alteast 10-15 times I tried to swtich over to other IDEs just because of this bug, but never actually shifted. Good.

As I was upgrading to netbeans 26, i was disappointed not to see this bug fix being mentioned in the list of changes. I thought never mind, I will again apply the patch clipboard java agent. But just when I was configuring the etc/netbeans.conf and updating, I noticed that there is already a patch there, I had to unzip it and read the source code to be sure this is the patch.

Glad to see this much needed patch is included.

Thank to everyone. But please, I feel you guys are not fully able to express the features that you are releasing, why is this not mentioned in the Github release notes.

Also funnily only today I realized netbeans has vertical tabs, I always wanted this feature, I wonder how in so many years I did not notice it.

Sorry, and thank you for the clarification. Maybe we can add some star emojis to that line. :)
