The ability to print was later added to Leafpad in 2005, with further improvements to the printing capabilities in 20. This led to members of the Xfce team creating a fork of Leafpad called Mousepad, specifically to address the lack of printing support. When first released, Leafpad had no printing capabilities. Though it is part of the LXDE desktop package, it is not maintained by the LXDE development team. Leafpad has not received an update since December 2010 with the release of version 0.8.18.1. The first full release to the public was version 0.7.6 on November 11, 2004. Work began on Leafpad in 2004 with the publishing of version 0.5.x on GitHub. Leafpad was created by Tarot Osuji, who remains its only author and maintainer. Leafpad is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2. The program has been forked into Mousepad and l3afpad, and parts of Leafpad's code have been used in other text editors. Leafpad is the default text editor for the LXDE lightweight desktop environment, and thus Leafpad is found on Linux distributions that use LXDE as their desktop environment such as Bodhi Linux and Raspberry Pi OS, as well as on some embedded systems. Leafpad has a small install size compared to other graphical text editors and has minimal features such as codeset options, undo/redo, and the ability to choose fonts. Created with the focus of being a lightweight text editor with minimal dependencies, it is designed to be simple-to-use and easy-to-compile. Leafpad is a free and open-source graphical text editor for Linux, BSD, and Maemo that is similar to the Microsoft Windows program Notepad.
