Dimitry, any chance of implementing new map layouts (top-down organogram/organizational chart etc) while you still have time :-) ? In my opinion this is the only key feature that freeplane doesn't have yet.
Happy new year!

I'm getting error message and can't start FreePlane. Error: "Could not find the main class: org.freeplane.launcher.Launcher.Program will exit." !!
This comes with:
FreeplanePortable-1.5.4-alpha-pre04
FreeplanePortable-1.5.4-alpha-pre02
FreeplanePortable-1.5.4-alpha-pre01
FreeplanePortable-1.5.3-alpha-pre04
FreeplanePortable-1.5.3-alpha-pre03
Would you please advice how to solve this? Is the new tool available in 1.5.2-alpha_pre01?

Try to install Java 8 for now. Some problems with older versions have been reported, I shall fix them before the release so that Java 7 and probably Java 6 are supported again.

It works with Java 8 but I need to keep Java 6 as some of my applications are not compatible with Java 7+. I need to find a way to run Freeplane with Java 8 and the other applications with Java 6.

Yes, you can install multiple java versions, make java 6 your standard and set environment variable FREEPLANE_JAVA_HOME to the root of your Java 8 installation

I'm a Knowledge engineer. I use to work in my daily work with many mindmapping software and with concept mapping software. In particular, one of my favourite is freeplane.
This version is a great advance for many reasons:
You can add a image as the map background.
You can use clones.
The uniform simetrical format.
Different shapes for the nodes.
The Jona's way of minmapping with trigger words is perfect to create advanced and useful maps.
I'm Spanish. If you need people to translate (menus, documentation...) maybe I can find some time.
Maybe is time now to re-create the documentation, or to make new one.

Re: pre08 pre09 - running on Linux 4.1.2-gentoo, Oracle JDK 1.8.0.66; fails with error:
/bin/bash/^M: Bad Interpreter
I ran:sed -i -e 's/\r$//' freeplane.sh and pre09 now works so I guess these previews were compiled on windows machines? Anyway, that should be a fix for anyone else experiencing the issue with these preview builds on linux.
They are interesting builds, looking forward to having another play with freeplane.

Version 1.5.5_01 is the first beta available in the preview section.
Here you also get reminder notification popup (configurable in properties).
It also means that I shall implement almost no feature requests until we get the final release because we want to share what we got with the majority of freeplane users before we implement new features.

When the pop-up trigger goes off and you are in a different tab viewing a
different map, if you press the 'go to reminder' button you don't actually
go there, because the tab does not change. And, if you then change manually
to the tab that triggered that alert, the focus hasn't actually changed to
the node triggering the whole thing.
Shouldn't the pressing of the button take you to the 'guilty' node, in the
right tab, and just readily?
Here, it is happening as you describe. Clicking the "go to reminder" button does not go to the tab with the reminder. & manually clicking the reminder tab does not focus on the reminder node.
I like the "remove reminder" button. That will be handy.
"Remind me later" button - any way to change the snooze interval? It seems to be 5 minutes?
Very good work, developers. This should help a lot. Thanks.
<edit> It's nice that the node label is shown in the dialog -- but it would be even better if the tab name were also on the dialog.

Version 1.5.5_03 contains pretty important changes:
Import arbitrary xml as mind maps
you can open any XML file in Freeplane using File -> Import XML file
Export mind maps to xml (no syntax validation)
you can export XML file opened as a mind map back to XML format. There is no syntax validation and exported XML could be not valid
Move menu and preference configuration to external resources
Now all menu and preference structure descriptors are saved in <Freeplane-Root>/resources/xml and you can edit them using the procedure described above
Save attribute column widths in points
It should make attribute columns have the same width on all monitors. It made new format change necessary
Open new maps near selected maps
as shortly requested
Happy testing!

Importing XML is a nice feature, but I don't seem to be able to see an element's text. For example, if my XML contains:
<active>true</active>
then in FreePlane I see the element's name, "active", but I do not see the element's text, "true".
Am I missing something?

This year I have time. Next year it is likely to change. Therefore I am trying to get as far as I can now.
Happy new year to everyone!
Great job, Dimitri. Thanks, an'a happy new year!

Is there a way to know what's new in every alpha pre release from 1.5.4_xx?

Hash tag for the version is available in the Freeplane about box and as a git tag

Thanks, I have rebuilt it and published it as pre10

I fixed reminder popup issues in 1.5.5_02.
Here you can also configure reminder settings at Preferences->Behaviour->Reminder options

then in FreePlane I see the element's name, "active", but I do not see the element's text, "true".
Am I missing something?
I have just completely ignored the text content. Sorry. Fixed in the next version.
