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). /

1.0.5 important note upgrade information
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from previous versions of note, you
|
|
will need to create a new config file, since the format of
|
|
that file has completely changed!
|
|
|
|
Take a look at the sample in config/noterc for details.
|
|
|
|
note will NOT work with an existing database and an old config.
|
|
You have to create a new config based on your old settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please don't forget to make a backup of your database before
|
|
upgrading! I am not responsible for data loss!
|
|
|
|
I told ya...

READ THIS FILE, IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM 0.9 TO 1.0.x
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
In any case: BACKUP your existing note database!!!!!!!
|
|
The format has not changed, but some default values
|
|
(see the new config file-sample). Use this command
|
|
to save your note database with your *old* version
|
|
of note:
|
|
"note -D"
|
|
This works with both the mysql and the binary version.
|
|
|
|
You need to reedit your configfile. Please refer to the
|
|
sample config in config/noterc.
|
|
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
This version of note has now encryption support build in.
|
|
If you decide to use it, you need to re-initialize your
|
|
note database. That's why, because your current database
|
|
is unencrypted and *if* you want to secure your data, you
|
|
need to secure everything. That means, your existing data
|
|
must be encrypted before you can use this new capability!
|
|
|
|
Follow this steps:
|
|
o backup existing db:
|
|
$ note -D
|
|
o backup the db:
|
|
$ cp .notedb .notedb.save
|
|
or (for mysql users!):
|
|
$ cp -r /usr/local/mysql/data/notedb ~/notedb.mysql.save
|
|
o go into note and delete all existing notes:
|
|
$ note -d 1-20 (or however)
|
|
o now upgrade your note installation:
|
|
$ perl Makefile.PL; make install
|
|
o re-configure note. Turn $USE_CRYPT on by setting it
|
|
to "YES".
|
|
o re-initialize your database:
|
|
$ note -I note.dump.2323 (or whatever)
|
|
note will prompt you for a passphrase. It will be used
|
|
by Crypt::CBC for encrypting your data.
|
|
From now on, your data is encrypted. You will need the passphrase
|
|
you set above for decrypting it! So - don't forget it!
|
|
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
AGAIN: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! DO NOT UPGRADE WITHOUT MADE A
|
|
BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU
|
|
LOOSE DATA!
