Hi, I'm pleased to announce the release of Labyrinth 0.3 "Beautiful Insane". This is the third in the "Out of Nothing" series of releases, which will result (at some point) in a V1.0 release.
What is it? ----------- Labyrinth is a lightweight mind-mapping tool for GNOME. It is written in python and uses cairo for its drawing. It is intended to be as light and intuitive as possible, but still provide a wide range of powerful features. Screenshots (and a little more info) is available at its homepage: http://www.gnome.org/~dscorgie/labyrinth.html Thanks ------ First, a couple of thanks for help during this release: Kevin Kubasik for getting labyrinth maps searched by Beagle Josef Vybíral for the stunning new icon Andreas Sliwka for the massive Browser rework Jean-François Fortin Tam for the masses of testing and many suggestions Florian Ludwig for the fantastic new website design Everyone else that's been involved in development and test. What's new? ----------- New Features: * Open maps from the command line (allowing Beagle to work with labyrinth properly) - Kevin Kubasik (Issue #3) * Add "Further Info" to all thoughts allowing further notes to be attached to any thought. Some work borrowed from Gourmet Recipe Manager (http://grecipe-manager.sourceforge.net/) * Store maximised state for maps across saves * Export as Image (png and jpeg) * Selecting text within thought now works * Cut / copy / paste using clipboard and primary selection * Much improved handling of multibyte characters and non-English keyboard layouts * Massively cool new tango-ified icon (Josef Vybíral) * Large Browser internal rework. Added optional trayicon (disabled by default) Can be enabled by passing --use-tray-icon to labyrinth - First step towards an applet (Andreas Sliwka) * Much improved Browser window layout, adding menus and moving the "Help->About" from Map windows to the Browser window, among other things (Jean-François Fortin Tam, issue #15) * Add debug printing framework (Andreas Sliwka) * Change cursor when moving mouse across thoughts to reflext currently available action * Merge "Move" and "Edit" mode into single "Edit" mode * Selection of multiple thoughts now possible * More performance work * Massively improved RTL support * Add (experimental) Undo / Redo framework * Add menu entry to link / unlink selected thoughts * Use tango-ified colours for text selection colour and to denote selected and root thought (until theme support is added) Fixes: * Regenerate defs.py when required (Issue #1) * Add icons to toolbar as temprary fix for issue #2 * Fix thought numbers across saves (issue #6 and #32) * Don't "jerk" thoughts around when moving (issue #19) * Escape should finish editing thoughts (issue # 23) * Backspace at start of thoughts breaks things royally (issue #25) * Problem resizing drawings / images using the top-right corner * ctrl-a selects either all thoughts or all text in (currently editing) thought * Improvements to handling of arrow keys within editing thoughts * Fix several unclear and confusing messages (Issue #28) * Change mode when inserting image. Remember current mode across saves properly (Requires PyGtk >= 2.10) * Fix export dialog to show up properly (Issue #29) Translations: * ru (Alexandre Prokoudine) * nl (Rigo Ketelings and Max Beauchez) * pl (Tomasz Dominikowski) * pt_BR (Leonardo Gregianin) * ca (Gil Forcada) * cs (Josef Vybíral) * fr (Mathieu Leduc-Hamel and Jean-François Fortin Tam) * pt_PT (Luis Gomes) * eu (Zunbeltz Izaola) * sv (Robin Sonefors) * de (Raphael Schmid and Florian Ludwig) In addition, an highly experimental build is available for Windows systems.
