ADDED: Added test for optional and required perl modules in
Makefile.PL
FIXED: NOTEDB::dumper version string were wrong, therefore
cpan didn't index is properly.
-t and -T (identical output)
FIXED: Fixed import bug which omitted the timestamp of the last
entry, supmitted by Bill Barnard.
FIXED: Fixed another import "bug" (or design flaw) which caused
imported notes to get new numbering after importing them.
Submitted by Bill Barnard.
CHANGED: Until 1.3.4 missing Crypt:: modules lead to unencrypted
fallback by note. From 1.3.5 on this will no more happen,
it croaks now until you install the desired modules
or modify your configuration to use no encryption.
CHANGED: default config and default settings without config have
been changed. They are now simpler, no colours or anything
so that it works better out of the box in any terminal
window or shell (e.g. on dark ones or the like).
ADDED: New interactive mode command: "c". It is now possible to
change note's behavior at runtime. No database related
parameters can be modified.
invalid sentence in note, so the new ones of the new config
were ignored.
FIXED: added version to NOTEDB::text.
FIXED: fixed handling of NOTEDB::crypt_supported, now encryption
works again.
ADDED: NOTEDB::text now supports internal caching too.
CHANGED: lock() sets the umask internally to 022, so that other
users are able to read the lockfile.
entry is bigger then MaxNoteByte. It prints the overlapping
part to STDERR, and a warning message and finally saves
the complete, unchanged note entry to an external text file.
functions by using File::Spec. This makes it possible to run
note unchanged on win32 (and possibly any other) environments.
FIXED: added a whitespace to the prompt in interactive mode to
circumvent a bug in the win32 Term::ReadLine module which causes
the cursor to be displayed on the left side (column 0) of
the screen.
FIXED: added "or die" code to some commands which are running inside
an eval{} block to fetch errors. Without the "or die"s no
error could ever catched.
CHANGED: removed HOME variable support of the noterc. in fact, if it
exists, no error will occur, but it will no longer be used.
It didn't work in older versions anyway.
ADDED: It is now possible to quit note using CTRL-D (or: EOF)
has been removed because they would never had a match.
FIXED: applied patch by Bill Barnard <bill@barnard-engineering.com>
which fixes a bug in the sub format() which features bold
hidden or underlined text. Now its possible to use a ^ char
in hidden texts too. I applied the same for the other regexps.
ADDED: if the config variable FormatText is set to 'simple' then
only one * _ { or / will make the text tagged with them to
be displayed formatted, instead of two.
ADDED: added Term::ReadLine support (auto-completion and history).
tag: //. If a text is surrounded by two slashes, i.e.: //blah//
then it appears "invisible" by using blue forground and blue
background color for displaying. This is handy for passwords
since no nobody can grab you password by looking at your
monitor, but you can copy&paste it.
mode.
FIXED: list displaying in interactiv mode corrected. the width of the
note number will now correctly used.
CHANGED: the default setting of note will now be to use an external
editor instead of stdin.
CHANGED: the unneccessary apostrophes in listings has been removed.
ADDED: the note version will be displayed in the titlebar of interactive
mode.
ADDED: new config variable AutoClear, which is turned on by default,
which controls wether the screen shall be cleared after each
item (display, list and so on).
REMOVED: removed the usage guidelines from te README file. This information
were redundant because its also contained in the manpage.
FIXED: on FreeBSD the setting of MaxLen to 'auto' had no effect because the
output of 'stty -a' which I use in note to determine the actual
size of the terminal, is different from that on linux.
ADDED: topics can now be abbreviated in interactive mode, which
avoids typing. abbreviation works only if an explicit
match could be found, otherwise the available topics that
matches will be suggested.
for installation. No more dependency checks built-in because
note runs out-of-the-box without additional modules, as a matter fact.
ADDED: if a search matches exactly on one note it will be displayed
directly, which avoids typing.
CHANGED: the main if-else contruct for calling the several subs has
been replaced by a simple closure call.
CHANGED: notes will now displayed in a slightly simpler fashion in interactive
mode, without the separator line between the title and the note.
ADDED: note can now determine automatically the width and height of
the terminal window it runs in (in interactive mode only) and
sets the width/height of what it prints accordingly. the config
variable "MaxLen" must be set to "auto" (which is the default
from now on) to get this to work.
ADDED: any interactive command will now clear the screen before it does
anything. this look much more uncluttered.
ADDED: if multiple notes are printed at once (i.e. note 1,2) then the
separator line between them will no more being printed because
every notes title is preceded by a line anyway.
CHANGED: by default the default operation mode is now interactive mode,
which is somewhat kindlier to new users.
CHANGED: changed to order which editor note tries to find. vi got now
higher precedence, because it is likely installed on almost
any unix system.
CHANGED: cosmetics.
NOTE: increased minor version number from 1 to 2 to indicate that
development begun after 2 1/2 years pause again :-)
FIXED: if ShortCd was on and one used "cd 3" and after that "cd .."
then the current topic was wrong (empty $PATH).
FIXED: if the current topic contained no notes and one created a new
note without specifying a topic, then note did not add a
proper topic (also because of empty $PATH).
CHANGED: the default colors are now visible both on black and white
backgrounds, see next entry.
ADDED: two more color values: <white_black> and <bold>.
CHANGED: the color hash is now in ::main instead of ::C.
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.
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 ..
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 |
explicit specify that. | submitted by
FIXED: sub search prints now an appropriate error-message in |==> Peter Palmreuther

usage. |
CHANGED: Changed the text in the interactive help to reflect |
changes of verion 1.0.3 (t and T). /
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.
