Hi Everyone, I'm proud to announce Tomboy 1.2.0, the first release of the stable 1.2.x series, which coincides with GNOME 2.30.0.
Tomboy has been branched as "gnome-2-30" for stable (1.2.x) development. Git master is now open for new feature development (1.3.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 Wiki 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 Mac OS X dock.

The next six months... ================================================== Next cycle, I intend to focus almost exclusively on stabilizing Snowy, launching Tomboy Online, and improving the user experience of Tomboy note sync even more. Specifically, I'd like to: * Launch Tomboy Online concurently with the GNOME 3.0 release * Allow Tomboy Online users to share notes with each other directly in Tomboy * Let automatic background sync provide feedback to user when server is down, etc * Streamline Tomboy UI by removing as many dialogs as possible * Enable opt-in anonymous usage statistics collection (like Banshee) * Continue improving startup performance and memory usage * Continue whittling away at our bug list I'd love to see other feature work from the community, though, so feel free to bug me with your own innovative patches. :-) Big Thank You ================================================== Special thanks to everyone entering bugs, submitting patches, and helping to make Tomboy better!
