[Portabase-devel] PortaBase 1.1 released

[Jeremy B. <ml...@ya...>]

I just released PortaBase 1.1; it's available from the Sourceforge project
page at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/portabase

Summary of Changes
------------------------
Version 1.1 fixes all of the bugs that have been reported for version 1.0,
and also adds suport for Note columns (muli-line text entries) and sorting
on multiple columns.

Installation
------------
Note that there are *two* packages that must be installed in order to run
PortaBase; since many people didn't realize this for version 1.0, they are
now only distributed together in a zip file along with the README file.  First
install the libmetakit1 .ipk file onto the Zaurus, then install the
portabase .ipk file.  (The MetaKit library is packaged separately because
it is likely to be used by other applications in the near future.)  The
libmetakit1 package hasn't changed since PortaBase 1.0, so if you already have
it installed you only need to uninstall the old portabase package and install
the new one.  Once both packages have been installed, PortaBase can be launched
from the Applications tab and the two .ipk files may be safely deleted.

Changelog extract

    Added support for sorting on multiple columns.

2002-10-26  JMB  Note column type, minor bugfixes

    Added support for "Note" columns (a.k.a. multi-line text fields).

    Count change of view to "All Columns" as a change that the user
    should be prompted to save before closing.

    true in the test environment, but apparently not on the Zaurus.

    Fixed a crash that occurred when saving changes to an existing view.

2002-10-21  JMB  Fixed CSV export

    The text/x-csv directory is now created if it doesn't exist, and a
    ".desktop" file is created so the CSV file appears in the Documents tab.
