[Jaap Karssenberg <jaap.karssenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

After a long hiatus I finally uploaded a new release to the website.

This release brings numerous changed due to refactoring of large parts
of the code base. Most of these changes should not be visible for the
end user, but they will help anyone looking to extend zim and should
help reducing the number of bugs.

New features include more flexible export; allowing to export recursively
and to export multiple pages to a single output file. A new plugin for
editing sequence diagrams was added and the ToC plugin has a new widget
floating over the page. The "tags" plugin was changed to show full page
paths in the per-tag view.

Detailed change log below.

To get the new release either download directly from http://zim-wiki.org or
wait for the Ubuntu PPA builds to be updated. In the coming week I will
update the website and repair those dead links.

Regards and thanks for all your support,

Jaap
