[Nevernote-announce] NixNote / NeverNote Version 1.0

Hi Everybody,

Version 1.0 was uploaded today.  The "current" directory will point to
the 0.99 release and I won't trigger the automatic update message for
a while to be sure things look OK.

There are a few things I'd like to point out with this release.

The first thing you may notice is that the name has changed.  Evernote
asked that I do this so someone wouldn't associate this program with
theirs. It also allows me to ask that it be put in the Trunk so it can
get some more exposure.

I looked for a name that I liked, wasn't used by another project, and
in some way described what this behemoth does.  I tried several names
from the survey and names other people had emailed me.  I never found
anything I liked, but the best I came across was *nixNote.  Since the
focus is on Linux/Unix I figured NixNote is about as good as anything.

As I get time, I'll be changing the web site & setting up SourceForge
to point to the proper name, but right now my free time is limited so
I'll continue to use the NeverNote site.  I apologize for the
confusion.

I'd also like to point out that this is the first non-beta release.
WOOHOO!!!   I'd like to thank everyone who helped get NN to this
point.  From everyone who submitted code, helped with the web site,
submitted bug reports, or simply offered suggestions I'd like to say
"THANK YOU".  It has come a long way in 2.5 years.  I started to
compile a list of everyone to name personally, but the list grew
rather long and I was afraid of forgetting someone, but even if I
don't mention every one by name I really do appreciate everything you
all have done.

I'd like to say this release is completely bug free, but it is "good
enough".  Considering even IEFBR14 had bugs, this program will never
be completely bug free.  If you have problems please post a bug
report.  Mainframe geeks will understand the IEFBR14 reference.  :-)

Going forward I plan on splitting the releases into stable &
non-stable releases.  For stable releases it will be the same as it
always has been.  I'll do full uploads of everything needed for a new
install.  For the unstable releases I'll just be posting the files
which have changed since the last release and the instructions on how
to use them.  Installing the unstable release will be more difficult
for novice users and the unstable release will always have more issues
so use it with caution.  This will allow me to push out changes a
little more quickly since I won't need to go through the full package
build & upload.  When the unstable build is good enough I'll publish a
stable release with everything needed.

Finally, I'd like to point out that this release adds the ability to
view and edit the source HTML of a note.  This can be useful if you
have problems saving a note or to tweak the formatting.  The thing to
remember is that it will still try to cleanup any invalid HTML so it
can be synchronized with Evernote, so formatting may still be modified
after saving.  It also won't prevent you from doing anything foolish
like editing encrypted text or changing resource GUIDs so be careful.

Thanks,
Randy
