[Nevernote-announce] NixNote 1.6 for Linux

[General A. a. N. <nev...@li...>]

Hello everyone.  I've uploaded the Linux versions NixNote 1.6 to
SourceForge.  Windows & OS-X will be released in a week or two once I'm
sure there are no problems.  It only contains two changes.  One change
fixes a shared notebook problem.  The other change takes a little more
explanation.

Since NixNote was released many years ago there was a bug when deleting
notes.  The note was never visible to users and I nobody ever reported it,
but it generated errors on Evernote's servers.  What is worse is that the
error is cumulative and happens every time you synchronize.  They are
seeing about 20,000 errors a month.

About 6 months ago they contacted me asking if I could look into it.  I
think I have the error fixed, but it is difficult to say for sure since I
can't tell what version of NixNote everyone is using and Evernote can't
tell me who exactly is causing the errors.

To test if it is working, they have asked that I use a new application
password.  This will require you to re-authorize NixNote after you upgrade.
 I'll wait a few months & ask Evernote to check if the error still exists.
 If the problem is fixed, the old API key will be revoked and everyone will
be forced to upgrade to 1.6.  If the problem isn't corrected then I'll go
crazy and it won't matter anyway. :-)

You can fallback to the old 1.5 release if 1.6 causes you problems.  The
old authorization key is kept around so you won't need to re-authorize if
you fall back.

Thanks,
Randy
