ANNOUNCE: Tomboy 0.14.1 Released (Stable Release for GNOME 2.26)

[news 28]

Hi Everyone,

 

This email is to announce Tomboy 0.14.1. This is a release of the

stable 0.14.x series and coincides with GNOME 2.26.1.

 

Tomboy has been branched as "gnome-2-26" for stable (0.14.x)

development. SVN trunk is now open for new feature development

(0.15.x).

 

 

What is Tomboy?

==================================================

 

Tomboy is a simple personal note-taking application designed to be

unobtrusive and friendly, while supporting inter-note-links similar to

a WikiWikiWeb to help you organize your notes and ideas. It can run

either as a GNOME panel applet or a notification tray icon, and is also

supported in your Windows tray or OS X dock.

The next six months...

==================================================

 

Some tentative plans for the next release cycle include:

* Automatic synchronization

* Faster startup, less memory usage (we've only just begun!)

* Better OS X experience

* Brainstorming for how Tomboy should fit into gnome-shell

* A new project to have easy synchronization to a Tomboy online service!

* Tomdroid, and how to have the best sync story to have Tomboy notes on your G1

* Tomboy website revamp

* Your awesome ideas!

 

But we haven't had our roadmap meeting yet, so we'll see what the community

decides during this public meeting [0] on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at

19:30 UTC in #tomboy.
