ANNOUNCE: Snowy 0.5 "Cavalier King Charles Spaniel" Released

[news 28]

Dear friends,

 

I'm very happy to announce Snowy 0.5 "Cavalier King Charles Spaniel",

a minor bugfix update, meant to correspond with GNOME 2.91.1. The

Tomboy Online alpha has been updated with this latest release, and the

next wave of invites has been mailed out.

 

Still, this is alpha quality software. As the Tomboy Online alpha

continues, we hope to be able to make sweeping statements about its

stability and security, but until then, do not trust it with your

fancy notes without a backup. ;-)

 

Tomboy Online invites are being emailed out in phases to everyone who

fills out this 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.

 

Version 0.5 "Cavalier King Charles Spaniel"
