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.
note to dump to standard output instead into a file.
ADDED: you can specify - as filename for use with --import and if you want
to create a new note. "-" stands for standardinput and it allows you
tp pipe another commands output to note!
ADDED: you can now use an environment variable for the passphrase (when using
encryption). If it is presen, note will not ask for a passphrase. This
is very usefull in comination with the addition above, for use in
scripts.
CHANGED: the interactive help screen is now coloured.
ADDED: -o commandline switch, which causes note to overwrite an existing
database when importing data from a previous dump. Very handy if
you want to re-initialize your db, i.e. if you changed the format.
ADDED: the long-tree-view (-T) displays now also the note-number of each
note.
Works now properly, with both backends!
FIXED: and another bug: recounting of numbers did not take care about
the existing order! If you deleted note #12, then note #13 became
not neccessarily #12! Instead it becames any other number (kind of
randomly...).
CHANGED: NOTEDB::binary set_del function changed, it does no more require
a temporary file for number recount. Instead it uses get_all and
stores all notes in RAM and then rewrites the database.
FIXED: fixed the set_new call within note. It used 0 as the first param
(number) which is not useful since we dont have support for auto-
increment from all database backends.
FIXED: fixed the function set_recountnum in NITEDB::mysql, it was also
incorrect :-((( 0.8 seemed to be a very bad early alpha...........
FIXED: there was a bug in NOTEDB::binary which caused not to recount note
numbers after deleting one :-(
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.
