2009.02.24 - Request for testers

I am currently in the finishing stages of release Keepnote 0.5.2. Before I officially release it, I would like to send it to people to test it out and make sure I have not introduced any regressions (new bugs). If this works well, I may even make the testing release a regular thing. So if you are interested in getting a sneek peek at the latest features and are willing to handle possible regressions, please let me know rasmus [a t] mit [d o t] edu.

I expect the testing releases to be nearly as stable as the regular ones, for example, I will be using the lastest version for my own daily note-taking. However, I strongly recommend backing up notes regularly while using a testing release. Some of the features you can look forward to in KeepNote 0.5.2

On the road ahead, I see features like: links between notes, including other document types (e.g. Word documents, Excel, etc), user customized listview columns (e.g due date, priority), tabbed browsing, true indexed search, and virtual folders (i.e. saved searches).

2009.01.25 - Release KeepNote 0.5.1

I have changed the name of TakeNote to KeepNote. "TakeNote" appears to be used very frequently on the web. Hopefully, KeepNote will be more unique and will be easier for people to locate on the web.

This release contains a first implementation of hyperlinks and a new notebook metadata format. For more information on the new notebook metadata format read here. Please backup your notebooks before trying out the new version of KeepNote, in case you experience any problems with the new program. Also as a general reminder, be sure to backup your notebooks at regular intervals and especially before a program version upgrade. Copying your notebook folder is sufficient, as well as using KeepNote's built-in backup feature.

As always, this release also contains many bug fixes. Thanks to everyone who have been posting bug reports on google code. I keep working on the report submitted to the old issue tracker.

2008.12.21 - Release TakeNote 0.4.5

I have smoothed out a few of the rough edges in this release, so that the code will be ready before I tackled completely new features. For example, I now have "Paste As Plain Text", progress bars for background tasks, safer file writing (for unexpected power loss), as well as many bug fixes. If you have any problems, please email me or file a bug report. UPDATE: a small fix has been applied to 0.4.5. If you had problems please re-download and try installing again.

2008.11.30 - Debian Release of TakeNote 0.4.4

Here is my first release of a Debian package for TakeNote. This should be more convenient for Debian and Ubuntu users. Please let me know if you have any issues installing it.

2008.11.06 - Release TakeNote 0.4.4

I have added color font, XDG configuration support, and many bug fixes. You can get the latest version of TakeNote here and go here for its documentation. This release and 0.4.3 were polishing releases. My next few releases will focus on more exciting features: links (web, files, and between notes), more extensions, exporting, printing, customizing columns in the listview, and true indexed full-text search (much faster). Thanks to those of you who have sent me feedback (rasmus[a t]mit[d o t]edu), it has been very helpful. Enjoy.

2008.10.01 - Release TakeNote 0.4.3

2008.08.09 - Release TakeNote 0.4.1

2008.07.12 - Release TakeNote 0.4

This is my first public release of TakeNote! It is a simple note taking programming that I have been using for my research and class notes. It should be applicable to many note taking situations. I have included the bare essentials for this release: inline images, basic fonts, full-text search (not implemented with indexing, but will soon). I expect to add more complete features in the next release.
