changelog

1.0.8:
• FIXED:
  typo in noterc shipped with package may caused confusion (BLOWFISH instead of Blowfish).
• CHANGED:
  changed the way note manages temporary filez. It uses now a random string instead of just it's own PID. It does also change it's umask to 077 and, if applicable (on ext2 filesystems) issues "chattr +s" which will cause the ext2 inodes to be zero'd after file deletion.
• ADDED:
  A new config option allows the user to specify her own temp-directory. The default is still /tmp.

1.0.7:
• FIXED:
  there was a bug in the search expression, use now \Q and \E.
• ADDED:
  --config allows one to use another config than the default.

1.0.6:
• 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 ..

1.0.5:
• 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 | explicit specify that. | submitted by
• FIXED:
  sub search prints now an appropriate error-message in |==> Peter Palmreuther case no searchstring was given instead of jumping to | thanks a lot! usage. |
• CHANGED:
  Changed the text in the interactive help to reflect | changes of verion 1.0.3 (t and T). /

1.0.4:
• CHANGED:
  Moved from @ARGV-parsing to Getopt::Long, adding options is now much easier and I do now understand my own code ;-)
• ADDED:
  --raw, the "Raw Mode", which turns off any formatting of output.

1.0.3:
• ADDED:
  "-" works also for --dump, but in the other direction. It causes 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.

1.0.2:
• ADDED:
  Topic-Tree overview command (-t or -T).
• ADDED:
  Enhanced list command in interactive mode, you can now specify a topic which notes you want to see.
• CHANGED:
  updated the help and usage sections to reflect the additions above.

1.0.1:
• FIXED:
  fixed bug in NOTEDB::mysql, which caused note t store NULL values in db, if encryption was off. A really dump failure :-(

1.0.0:
• CHANGED:
  removed install.#!/bin/sh. use now a Makefile for installation.
• ADDED:
  Encryption support. Note can now encrypt notes using IDEA or DES as encryption-protocols(symetric).

0.9:
• FIXED:
  There were many new bugs after my last changes *grrrrr*. fixed. 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 :-(

0.8:
• 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 " 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.

0.7:
• 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.

0.6:
• 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

0.5:
• 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.

0.4.2:
• ADDED:
  If run in interactive mode, note will at first do a list command.
• FIXED:
  A bug caused note to save bogus timestamps after editing a note.
• CHANGED:
  It does no more print 3 newlines before the menu in interactive mode.
• FIXED:
  Some more vars will be resetted during each loop in interactive mode. $ListType.

0.4.1:
• ADDED:
  The install.#!/bin/sh script for the mysql version is no able to install the required Mysql module directly from CPAN, thanks to David A. Bandel!
• FIXED:
  The mysql version did not display notes (i.e.: "note 3" did nothing)
• CHANGED:
  Again, the sql-format of the mysql database has been changed. Now there are only 3 fields, the number filed is the primary key, the id field in previous versions was a waste of diskspace...
• CHANGED:
  The format of the dump-output has been changed.
• ADDED:
  It is now possible to import previously dumped notes into the notedb (dumps from both versions are compatible with each other)
• FIXED:
  the function num_bereich() had a bug, which caused ot to ignore under some circumstances one number (i.e. "note -d 4-13" did nothing).

0.4:
• 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")

0.3:
• CHANGED:
  it uses no more a mysql database, but a binary file instead. This is much faster!
• ADDED:
  note can display the notes with colors, it is turned off by default

0.2:
• FIXED:
  now any occurence of ' will be masked with \' before storage to the mysql database.
• FIXED:
  now numbers of notes will be recounted, if one delete one note, so the list of notes will everytime start with 1,2,3,...
• CHANGED:
  the look of the list output has been changed, similar to a table
