9cf564ffe4 CHANGED: does no more use the external touch command to create a new
file, use perls open() instead.
CHANGED:        excluded some of the help texts from the usage message and the
                interactive help command to a manpage.
ADDED:          new commandline flag "--encrypt" which one can use to encrypt
                the mysql database password. This will be decrypted before
                connecting to the db. There is also a new config file option
                "encrypt_passwd" which indicates an encrypted db-password.
ADDED:          another new config option "ShortCd", which can be set to "yes"
                or 1 and if set, then a command like "cd 13" would jump
                directly to the topic of the note with the number 13.
ADDED:          now you can at any time cd back to the "root" of the
                topic-structure using the command "cd /".
CHANGED:        mysql.pm does now only do a table-lock on single write
                accesses, no more on the whole session. This allows one to
                access the same db twice or more.
FIXED:          Changed README and Changelog for readability on 80 by 25
                displays. And changed indentation of the note script itself.
ADDED:          NOTEDB.pm - a generic module, which holds some methods, which
                are used by binary.pm, mysql.pm and dbm.pm.
ADDED:          NOTEDB.pm generate_search(), which allows one to
                use AND, OR and various combinations of them using ( and ).
ADDED:          a search does now return the 2nd line of a note if a matching
                note's first line is a topic.
CHANGED:        use "unshift" instead of push to add $libpath to @INC.
ADDED:          a new feature, Caching of notes. supported by binary.pm and
                mysql.pm. To turn it on, one need to set "Cache" in the config
                to a true value.

7d308cde40 FIXED: there were some odd bugs in commandline parsing, some options were unavailable.
FIXED:          Forgot "PreferredEditor" config-option in the new config format.
FIXED:          the interactive "cd .." command has ignored the presence of a
                "DefaultLong" setting(and search too)... thx to Peter.
CHANGED:        Optimized a little bit the output routine, now it is better to read.
ADDED:          sub format and appropriate config-option for text formatting capabilities.
CHANGED:        changed getconfig regexp, which allows now also to use Option = Param.
FIXED:          was not possible to override config-options, which are set by default to
                something.
ADDED:          note chacks now, if a database os actually really encrypted and exits with
                an error if it s and the user turned off encryption. This protects her from
                destroying it's own database ..

9a2d07e0e0 FIXED: the T (and t respectively) printed nothing out since 1.0.3! It does
it now again...
ADDED:          a new database backend added, NOTEDB::dbm, which uses DBM files for
                storage.
FIXED:          &display-tree returns now, if there is no note, otherwise it
                would die because of an undefined refernce.
CHANGED:        Changed the config file format completely. It is now no more a perl
                file, instead it is a simple plain text file which note parses.
CHANGED:        Changed the way, note loads it database backend. It uses now the
                $dbdriver variable as module-name, which makes it possible easily
                to write your own backend without the need to change note itself.
FIXED:          Removed Getopt::Long option "bundling", causes errors with perl
                5.6.0 and is not senceful.
FIXED:          Added the Getopt::Long option "no_ignore_case". In 1.0.4 options
                were case insensitive causing -i to be interpreted as --import
                instead of --interactive ;-(((
ADDED:          a new config option $DEFAULT_LIST, which causes note,  \
                if turned to "LONG", to use long-listing as default.    |
                But it will still be able to use short-listing if you   |

4a5dd8c4bd CHANGED: removed install.sh. use now a Makefile for installation.
ADDED:          Encryption support. Note can now encrypt notes using IDEA
                or DES as encryption-protocols(symetric).

f54d187c47 ADDED: NOTEDB::binary. so now 0.8 is ready for shipping !
FIXED:          regexp bug fixed. It was only possible to delete 2 items together
                separated by comma ("d 1,2,3,4" deleted only 1,2!).
ADDED:          Some new config options which reflects the new module structure.
                So you can change your database backend without the need to
                replace the note script itself.
FIXED:          the previously added feature "cd <topic>" didn't really work :-(
ADDED:          NOTEDB::mysql added. Perlmodule, which I will use within
                note from now on instead of buildin functions for accessing the
                database. From now on I only need to maintain one version of
                note, since the module interface will be identical between the
                bin and sql version.
CHANGED:        The SQL code does not use Mysql.pm anymore. Instead it is coded
                using the more portable DBI module. This allows one easily to
                switch to anther database, which is supported by DBI.
CHANGED:        Locking. The db-table will now be locked before note accesses it.
FIXED:          width of listings is now always the same independent of the string-
                length of a certain note.

1ab897790c ADDED: one can now use the unix-like "cd" command to change to another
topic, thus use "cd topicname" instead just typing "topicname"!
FIXED:          there was a smal regex bug which maked it impossible to use such
                topics: "4 test", in such a case note just displayed note number 4
                instead of cd'ing to topic "4 test".
ADDED:          a new config option "$KEEP_TIMESTAMP" allows a user to disable
                note's default behavior of updating the timestamp of a note after
                editing it.

142ff12b12 FIXED: oops - the new suptopic feature confused the commandline-mode of
note! quickly corrected! so subtopics also available from command-
                line.
FIXED:          a small bug fiyed, it was impossible to use -D or -I from command-
                line, if $ALWAYS_INT was turned on, now it is.
FIXED:          fixed problem with local/global variable $time, which confused
                the script under certain circumstances, now $time is no more global,
                it will be read in (using &getdate) locally by &new and &edit.
CHANGED:        The Topic separator is no longer hardcoded, one can customize
                it using the $TopicSep variable, the default is now /, the backslash
                will no mor work!
CHANGED:        use perl buildin localtime() function instead of
                GNU date, which is possibly not installed on every target
                system (i.e. win32), therefore better portability!
CHANGED:        use now the strict module
ADDED:          Support for subtopics added (and sub-sub-..-topics).
CHANGED:        Removed the "T" command, it is now obsolete.
CHANGED:        behavior of list command changed, now shows topics as well as
                notes under the current topic(if there are some).
CHANGED:        The ".." command takes you now one level higher in your topic-
                structure.
ADDED:          A new config option $PreferredEditor, which you can use to
                specify your own choice of editor.
FIXED:          A bug at line 769 causing single note where smaller than note-
                listings

6c5db55b5e ADDED: Topic support(requested). You can sort the various notes under
different topics now.
FIXED:          There was another bug, which caused the list command to display
                the notes with a too high value of $maxlen.

ee0797bad6 CHANGED: ok, mysql support is back again (upon requests). therefore there
are two different version of the script in the same time with
                the same features, one for mysql and the other one for the binary
                database.
ADDED:          Dump to textfile capability. Later on I want to dump it into a
                palm readable format, any help is welcome!
ADDED:          interactive mode.
CHANGED:        Better modularity, better code.
CHANGED:        note can now run without the need of a config file. If does not
                exist, it will try to work with default values.
ADDED:          sub num_bereich(), which allows one to specify more then one
                number for deletion or displaying (i.e.: "-d 1,4,7" or "-d 4-9")
