Conboy 0.4.3 released

[Cornelius Hald]

Hi guys!

About a month ago I was writing that I´m implementing a Tomboy clone for the Maemo plattform [1]. I wanted to announce version 0.1 here but unfortunatelly I completly forgot about it. So here is the first and last[2] announcement of Conboy[3] on this list.

A couple of days ago I released version 0.4.3 which is far from complete, but already quite usable. Maybe some people on this list own a Nokia N800 or N810 and want to give it a try. I´m happy about bug reports, critics, etc...

At the moment, there is no support for synchronization, but I hope to do this very soon. Then together with the Tomboy online service I hope we´ll have our notes on all our desktops, notebooks, tablets and phones. Ahh the future ;)

The current features are:
- Reads and writes Tomboy *.note files
- Text styles: Bold, Italic, Strikeout, Highlight, Fixed Width, Small, Normal, Big, Huge
- Supports nested bullet lists with unlimited depth
- Linking to other notes
- Text search inside a note
- Search over all notes (only title atm)
- Automatic creation of links to already existing notes
- Runs on Chinoo, Diablo and Fremantle
- New style / finger friendly UI on Fremantle

Direct download for the tables is here:

Thank you all for your work on Tomboy. Without it my small project wouldn´t exist.

Best wishes!
Conny

Please, feel free to announce releases and other important changes to
Conboy on this list whenever you like.  This should make it easier for
us to collaborate, and to keep everybody informed.

As we are working on Tomboy online sync support, I am doing my best to
keep a clean separation between handling web requests/responses,
dealing with our REST API [0], and hooking it all into Tomboy's
existing sync infrastructure [1].  I'm doing the web sync add-in code
as MIT/X11 to increase reuse in popular desktop projects that can't
use LGPL code.  Hopefully this separation will make it easier for you
to port it to Conboy.

We intend to rework a lot of our sync infrastructure to be cleaner and
support automatic background sync, so hopefully that will be done (and
useful to you) by the time you get around to implementing sync in
Conboy, so that you have a better example to follow.

This sounds great, Cornelius.  Thanks for helping to get Tomboy notes
out to Maemo users.

Congrats on the release,
Sandy

Sure. Thanks!

That sounds good. I was thinking the online service would still be based
on WebDav. I'm happy to hear that you'll use a REST API. At least with
Java and REST I had good experiences - lets see how this is with C and
REST ;)

I'll definitely have a look at it. And in the meantime I'll read a bit
about librest and the REST-API that you've planned.

Thanks again!
Conny
