ANNOUNCE: Snowy 0.3 "Maltese" Released

[news 28]

Howdy Snowy fans,

 

I'm happy to announce Snowy 0.3 "Maltese", a release that's

just-about-good-enough to power the Tomboy Online alpha! While we

figure out what's up with our server and get invites out to folks, I

figured we should share the latest code, if for no other reason than

the new support for Django 1.2.

 

As with 0.2, this is alpha quality software and we don't recommend

trusting your important data to it, or using it on a public server.

But we're totally about to do it anyway!

 

If you're interested in joining us for the Tomboy Online private alpha

or the public beta, please fill out this smashing survey:

For the uninitiated, Snowy is a web-based viewer for your Tomboy

notes. It's written in Python using the Django web framework, and is

licensed under the AGPL.

 

Tomboy Online is a deployment of the Snowy software on GNOME servers,

intended to provide free note sync and online note access to all

Tomboy users.

This cycle is shaping up to be very exciting as we work toward our

goal of releasing Snowy 1.0 and the Tomboy Online public beta in time

for GNOME 3.0. Expect some awesome to be dropping in git, especially

around the time of the Snowy Hackfest (overlapping Boston Summit) in

November.

 

Snowy 0.3, "Maltese" features:

* Support for Django 1.2 (#629715)

* Don't let OpenID users attempt to change their password

* Add URI_SCHEME to local_settings.py (#629717)

* Fix XSL when not running Snowy from git checkout dir

 

Contributors to this release include:

 

Sandy Armstrong, Jeff Schroeder

Sandy
