Hi,

I am using zim for about a year now and everything was fine. After a manual
upgrade to 0.65 I decided to add the repo to my Ubuntu:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jaap.karssenberg/zim/ubuntu

And today it pushed 0.66 to my machine.

It was, of course, my fault to trust the repo, but now it happened: 0.66 is
a HUGE step back.
I cannot longer just say "zim" at the shell and then continue working,
because it now does not go to background any longer, and it pollutes the
terminal like so:

--- snip ---

I cannot close the terminal because this will close the Zim windows also.
Sending zim in background via zim& leaves my terminal under constant fire
also.
The "critical" messages do not increase trust too much, too.

These incompatible changes effectively renders zim useless for me for the
time being.

Besides certain upcoming questions about outbound QA:
- Any ideas how I can get back the version 0.65 that worked?
- Will 0.66 already have introduced incompatible changes in data?

All the best,
Sara
