There is more to come: the addins (I had to rewrite an addin system based on Glib::Module, which I hope will be generic enough ; I'll see when I integrate it into Niepce), the synchronization (I have a branch locally that I need to test thoroughly, for which I also needed addin support), and what not.

I just released Gnote 0.1.2. Here are the changes:

• Don't return containers on the stack.
• BUG: Pinning notes now work.
• BUG: Fix a potential crasher in PrefsKeybinder in the gconf callback.
• BUG: Fixed typos in man page.
• BUG: Remove the use of gettext calls that are only in glib 2.18
• BUG: Fix Note search that didn't work. (Close #578956) (Wade Berrier)
• BUG: Fix the position of the menu in case of popping upward. (Close #578958)
• NEW: Imported the manual (Close #578982)
• NEW: Addin preferences. (TO FINISH)
• Clarified some (c) notices.

You can find it on GNOME FTP

Gnote is now in GNOME git repository.

http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnote/

All you need is to pull from there.

It also has a bug tracker in GNOME bugzilla.

Update: is seems to be misunderstood that the URL above is for the web git interface. The git URL is git://git.gnome.org/gnote

The unavoidable bugs arose, mostly build bugs^[1]. So if you had an error on BOOST_FOREACH, it is fixed. Bye-bye, gone.

Thanks do Dodji for the testing.

I released Gnote 0.1.1.

Download

Following my April 1st announcement, I ironed out the last detail I deemed necessary for a 0.1.0 release of Gnote.

It should build on recent systems. I welcome any feedback or patches. If you have a build failure, I at least need the compiler errors.

PS: it is known to not build on Debian etch because of an antique version of boost.
