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.

<h2>installation of note</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unpack the tar-ball and issue the command:<br>
|
|
$ perl Makefile.PL<br>
|
|
It will ask you a few questions about file destinations.
|
|
The script will find itself the proper destinations for
|
|
the files. So, if you agree with it, simply press ENTER.
|
|
However, you may decide to use other destinations. In this
|
|
case, enter it, when asked. This maybe usefull, if you are
|
|
installing it in your ome-directory and if you are not root!
|
|
<p>
|
|
For installation instructions for the mysql database installation
|
|
see mysql/README.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If want to use another SQL database, i.e. postgresql then set
|
|
the option "DbDriver" to the name of the responding DBI-driver
|
|
and create a symlink of this name like this:
|
|
<br> /usr/lib/perl5/siteperl/NOTEDB $ ln -s mysql.pm oracle.pm
|
|
<br> The functionality is the same, but not the name!
|
|
<p>
|
|
The default binary file backend does not need any special installation
|
|
procedure, you need only to spceify a filename in your config file.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The DBM backend(NOTEDB::dbm) requires the existence of a directory,
|
|
which you must specify in your config using the option "DbName".
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Configuration</b>
|
|
|
|
This version of note doesn't neccessarily need
|
|
a configuration file. But you can have one and change
|
|
some default values. Take a look to the file config/noterc
|
|
provided with this tarball. There are detailed instructions
|
|
about every available parameter.
|
|
<br> Simply copy this file into your home-directory and name it
|
|
.noterc
|
|
If you decide not to use the default database backend (a binary
|
|
file), you will *need* a configuration!
