Zim version 0.53 released

 

Dear all,

Just uploaded the package for zim release 0.53 to the website. Many thanks
to everybody who contributed patches, translations, bug reports, and
improvement suggestions. As you can see from the change log below this has
become a release with a lot of fixes and new features.

This release adds several new features: support for using images as links, a
print button in the tasklist dialog, the option for the calendar to have a
page per week, month, or year instead of per day, implicit deadline for
tasks defined in calendar pages, a new plugin for evaluating inline
arithmetic expressions, and a template function for page indexes.
It also contains a large number of bug fixes, most notable are restoring the
use of relative paths on copy-paste and fixes for various exceptions when
moving pages.
 Regards,

Jaap
