Hello everyone,
RedNotebook 1.0 is out and development is going fast towards the next 
version. There have been many changes, refactorings, bugfixes and 
feature additions. Since I can't test those new things all by myself I 
would like to ask you to have a look at the new beta versions once they 
come out. For a better communication and announcement of new versions, I 
have created a mailing list at launchpad. If you want to you can 
subscribe to it [1]. Probably there won't be too many postings per 
month. It is just meant to be a channel for new version announcements, 
requests for beta testing, user questions and business opportunities in 
Nigeria ;)

Version 1.1.0 is about to be released, but before that can happen, we 
will have to find the remaining bugs and rough corners. Therefore I have 
created the first RedNotebook beta ever! You can find it at [2] (Linux 
only). To try the new version, unpack the archive, and in a terminal, call:

$ sudo apt-get install python-yaml python-webkit python-chardet
$ python rednotebook/journal.py

A beta version for Windows will be out soon, too. I will announce it's 
availability on the mailing list.

Please report all bugs at [3]. Here is the (unfortunately incomplete) 
list of changes for 1.1.0:

 * When searching for text, search in dates too (Search for 2010-05 
displays all entries of May 2010)
 * Improve checking for new version (Show version numbers)
 * Save last selected tab (Search/Clouds) (LP:590483)
 * Save journal files as readable unicode
 * Save journal files without python directives
 * Let the Preview and the Edit button always have the same size
 * Get rid of warnings caused by older webkit versions
 * Use webkit on Windows
 * Use webkit by default if installed
 * Get rid of CamelCase in sourcecode
 * Open external files asynchronously with subprocess.Popen from preview
 * Fix: Correctly highlight multiple links and images on one line
 * Fix: Months that have been cleared of all text are now rewritten to disk
 * Rewrite export assitant code
 * Much more code rewritten or restructured


Don't forget to subscribe to the mailing list [1]. Even if you can't 
test new versions, you will get all the announcements there.

Thanks for your help,
Jendrik
