1.5.5:
* Improved speed of Luminotes Desktop by adding some database indices. This
will help in particular for larger notebooks with many notes.
* Added some code to automatically upgrade your database when upgrading to a
new Luminotes release. This applies to all Luminotes products.
* Added code to support Luminotes discussion forums.
* Laid some of the foundational groundwork for future tags support.
* Made the subscription pricing page a little less confusing by hiding some
of the bigger plans by default.
* Increased the limit on characters per note from 25,000 to 50,000.
* Fixed a visual conflict between your web browser's search field
autocomplete and Luminotes built-in suggest-as-you-type feature.
* Fixed an occasional bug that caused unexpected logouts. The solution was
to move the session information into the database where it could be
properly locked.
* NOTE: After upgrading to this release, you must restart memcached to clear
the cache. Failing to do so will cause errors with the Note object. This
does not apply to Luminotes Desktop.
* NOTE: After upgrading to this release and starting Luminotes, you can
optionally convert all existing user sessions with the script
tools/convert_sessions.py. This is not necessary for Luminotes Desktop.
1.5.4: October 9, 2008
* Fixed a visual bug in which clicking up or down to reorder your notebooks
didn't display correctly.
1.5.3: October 9, 2008
* Safari and Chrome web browsers are now supported (beta):
* You can now create and end links.
* Underline and strikethrough now work.
* Pulldowns for search suggestions, importing, and exporting show up.
* Pulldowns on inline images are now positioned correctly.
* Uploading files now works reliably instead of just once.
* Note resizing (growing and shrinking) works (mostly) as expected.
* Improved page loading speed and fixed a rare session locking timeout bug
by removing all implicit session locking.
* Fixed a bug that broke the Luminotes Desktop product download page if
PayPal took too long to notify Luminotes of the purchase.
1.5.2: October 1, 2008
* Leading/trailing spaces in note titles are now ignored when making links
to such notes. This means that creating a link titled "my note" to a note
called "my note " now works properly.
* Leading/trailing spaces and newlines in note titles and contents are now
stripped out when exporting to CSV.
* Fixed a bug in which clicking the "export" link when the current note was
unsaved did not open the export pulldown.
* Changed the warning about Safari/Chrome/Opera incompatibility to be an
in-page message instead of a popup alert so as to be slightly less
obnoxious.
1.5.1: September 28, 2008
* Implemented CSV exporting, so now you can export all of your notes to a
CSV spreadsheet file. This currently doesn't include revision history or
attached files.
* Improved CSV importing so you can export a CSV of your notes from one
Luminotes installation and import that CSV into a different Luminotes
installation.
* Fixed a bug in which the image preview page didn't correctly handle
filenames containing special characters.
1.5.0: September 12, 2008
* Initial release of Luminotes Desktop!
* Fixed a Luminotes Desktop Internet Explorer bug in which note links within
the "download as html" document pointed to notes in the local Luminotes
installation instead of notes within the stand-alone document.
* Fixed a bug in which Luminotes Desktop file attachment did not always work
due to incorrect upload progress reporting.
* In the revision changes pulldown, no longer showing "by desktopuser" in
Luminotes Desktop.
* Added a Luminotes Desktop download page.
* Added code for supporting product download access.
1.5.0 beta 1: August 27, 2008
* Completed the Luminotes Desktop Windows installer.
* Improved logging, so tracebacks in production and desktop mode actually go
to a file. Also removed logs on startup to prevent endless log growth.
* Added a usb_luminotes.bat Windows batch file and a usb_luminotes.sh shell
file to run Luminotes from a USB drive.
* Moved "files" directory into ~/.luminotes or %APPDATA%\Luminotes.
* NOTE: After upgrading to this release, you must move your Luminotes
"files" directory into ~/.luminotes/ or you will not be able to access
your uploaded files:
mkdir ~/.luminotes
chmod 700 ~/.luminotes
mv files ~/.luminotes
1.4.27: August 22, 2008
* Fixed a bug in tools/initdb.py and tools/updatedb.py that caused them to
only use some of the configured settings.
* Progress on Luminotes Desktop, including the Windows installer.
1.4.26: August 20, 2008:
* Ported all database code to support SQLite in addition to the existing
PostgreSQL support. This is a necessary first step for Luminotes Desktop.
* Updated all unit tests to test against an in-memory SQLite database. This
increases unit test code coverage to include Luminotes SQL code.
* Fixed a rare bug in which undeleting a note via "undo" sometimes does not
show the undeleted note even if the undelete is successful.
1.4.25: August 11, 2008:
* Fixed a bug in which the character encoding of uploaded CSV files was not
properly detected and used to decode the file. Note that this fix
introduces a new dependency: http://chardet.feedparser.org/ found in the
python-chardet package.
1.4.24: August 11, 2008:
* Added a light gray line under note title text to make it clearer that it's
a title as opposed to just bold text.
* Fixed a bug in Firefox 3 in which disabling title text did not work.
* Fixed a bug in Firefox 2 and 3 in which pasting a paragraph tag into a
note caused the enter key to change from inserting a line break tag to
inserting a paragraph tag.
1.4.23: August 11, 2008:
* New notebook import feature for importing notes from a CSV file. (Beta.)
* Enforcing maximum note length after stripping the note of any disallowed
HTML tags instead of before. This makes Luminotes work better when cutting
and pasting lots of text from MS Word.
1.4.22: August 1, 2008:
* Skipping clearing of messages/errors if they haven't been open long enough
to read.
* Fixed a bug in which renaming a link title and then pressing ctrl-L would
replace the link destination.
1.4.21: July 30, 2008:
* Fixed bug in IE 7 in which there was too much horizontal spacing at very
wide resolutions.
* Increased speed of note hiding animations.
1.4.20: July 30, 2008:
* By popular demand, added a "save" button that becomes grayed out when
everything is saved.
* Now displaying "saving" status text in addition to "loading".
* Made both left and right navigation areas of the page have a fixed
position, so they stay in one spot even when you scroll your notes.
1.4.19: July 29, 2008:
* When scrolling to and then highlighting a note, do so serially instead of
in parallel.
* Made speed of scrolling to a note or message slightly faster.
* Removed big yellow "sign up for free" box from the sign up page itself.
1.4.18: July 28, 2008:
* Fixed a bug where clicking the link for an updated note in an RSS feed did
not properly redirect to that note after login.
* "Nothing but notes" mode now hides the toolbar as well.
* Rephrased some of the links to the signup page.
1.4.17: July 24, 2008:
* Updated the product tour with an analogy to index cards.
1.4.16: July 18, 2008:
* Slightly increased the size of the file upload pulldown to look better in
various browsers (and not cut off text within the frame).
* When you invite other people to view or edit your notebook, you can now
see the invite link they'll receive in case you want to copy and paste it
to them yourself.
1.4.15: July 15, 2008:
* Reduced the size of the font within the upload pulldown to match the other
pulldowns.
* Added some frequently asked questions (and answers) to the pricing & sign
up page.
* Updated the original FAQ page accordingly.
1.4.14: July 12, 2008:
* Fixed a bug in which pressing tab/shift-tab when a suggest pulldown was
open caused the current text to indent/outdent.
1.4.13: July 11, 2008:
* New "revert" button to roll back a note's contents to an earlier revision.
1.4.12: July 7, 2008:
* Fixed a bug in which tab/shift-tab for indending/outdenting nested lists
no longer worked. Also made it work in IE as well (which it never has).
* controller.Root.guide() now accepts an optional note_id parameter.
* Fixed a bug in which clicking a note title suggestion from within the link
info title field sometimes didn't update the link properly. This was due
to a race condition between the link info pulldown's onblur/onchange
handler and the suggestion onclick handler, both of which tried to update
the link, title, and summary at about the same time.
* Possibly fixed a bug in which the displayed suggestions sometimes did not
reflect the most recent characters typed.
1.4.11: June 29, 2008:
* Fixed bug in which bolding of suggest-as-you-type search text was case
sensitive. Now it's case insensitive.
1.4.10: June 29, 2008:
* New suggest-as-you-type feature for creating a new link, setting a link's
destination, and even for searching a notebook.
* Fixed a bug where typing a space within a link in IE caused the space
to be added to the end of the link.
* Backspacing at the end of a link in IE no longer ends the link.
1.4.9: June 25, 2008:

case-insensitive instead of case-sensitive.
1.4.8: June 23, 2008:
* Replaced "add new notebook" link with new notebook button next to
"notebooks" heading.
* Reorganized and renamed some notebook links on the right side of the page.

* New screenshot and new tour shots.
1.4.5: June 18, 2008:

1.4.4: June 17, 2008:
* Links to embedded images now show up within the note tree's list of links.
* Links to files that have not yet been uploaded (or have been deleted) are
now excluded from the note tree's list of links.
1.4.3: June 16, 2008:
* Fixed a bug in which an image thumbnail could not be loaded unless
you had a valid session. This prevented thumbnails from showing up
if, for instance, you were reading the Luminotes blog from an RSS
reader that didn't establish a session.
1.4.2: June 16, 2008:
* Fixed a bug that caused image files to get deleted if there were multiple
images embedded within a single note.

pulldown is already open.

for a few seconds.

into the right side of the page.

membership.

as not every installation of Luminotes uses AdWords.

* Implemented some basic user administration features, allowing you to
create Luminotes users yourself.
* Added new rate plans with support for user administration.
* Wrote a tool for manually updating a user's rate plan: tools/set_plan.py
* Refactored some of the client-side form-handling code to cut down on
special-case hacks.
* NOTE: After upgrading to this release, you must restart memcached to clear
the cache. Failing to do so will cause errors with the User object.

* Added some minor product page tweaks like meta description tags.
1.3.39: May 27, 2008

1.3.38: May 26, 2008

displays a somewhat informative message in the feed instead of just
silently raising an error.

certain images.

* Decreased some font sizes so more note links don't wrap as much.
1.3.31: May 18, 2008
* Improved the detection of whether an existing note has been altered and
thus needs to be saved to the server.
* Expanded workaround for IE iframe positioning bug to include IE 7.

* Made the toolbar auto-resize based on browser window size.
1.3.23: May 9, 2008
* Fixed tools/release.sh to include an empty session directory in the
produced tarball. Without a session directory, installing and running
Luminotes server would yield session deadlock errors.

* Fixed a bug where if you load a particular note in its own window, and
that note is a startup note, it shows up in the note tree twice.
1.3.16: May 6, 2008
* Fixed a bug where an invite sent for a notebook with an accented unicode
name would cause a UnicodeEncodeError upon sending the invite email. Now
such invites are encoded as quoted-printable UTF-8, while other invites
continue to be 7-bit ASCII.
1.3.15: May 6, 2008
* Fixed a bug where the "show on startup" checkbox did not appear checked if
you created a startup note, hid it, and then opened it the note tree area.
* Possibly fixed a bug where IE 7 would fail to download as HTML via HTTPS
due to cache issues.
1.3.14: May 5, 2008
* Fixed a database indexing bug that prevented notes with really long (~2700+
character) titles from saving correctly.
* Changed the literal quotation character in the starting wiki note to the
"&quot;" character entity so it doesn't show up as a change in the diff.
* Fixed a bug where attempting to load a notebook preview without access
would give a "list index out of range" error instead of an access error.

title to show up in the recent updates list.
* If there is an error saving a note, then even if "hide" was clicked, the
note is not hidden. Instead, the note stays open so that the user can try
again.
* Fixed a bug where renaming a note to have no title caused the title to
show up as completely blank in the recent updates list. Now it shows up as
"untitled note".
* Made it clearer whether the invitee has accepted a particular invite yet.
1.3.13: May 5, 2008
* Instructions for enabling JavaScript, linked from various forms that
require it.
1.3.12: May 3, 2008:
* Fixed yet another diff-breaking edge case. This one had to do with
inserting italicized text right before some existing italicized text.
1.3.11: May 2, 2008
* Fixed another bug that prevented diffs from working. This time, those with
<br/> tags didn't parse correctly.
1.3.10: May 2, 2008
* Fixed a bug that prevented diffs from working for notes with links.
1.3.9: May 2, 2008

shown in red strikeout (deletions/modifications) and green text
(additions/modifications).

except for your notes and the toolbar.
1.3.1: April 18, 2008
* Now if you try to load a page where access is required, and you're not
logged in, you'll be redirected to a login page. After you login, you'll
be redirected to the page you were originally trying to access.

revision time.
1.3.0: April 16, 2008

purposes.
1.2.21: March 30, 2008

cut and paste from other programs into Luminotes.
1.2.20: March 29, 2008

Firefox would occasionally not save it.

Luminotes account and upgrade to a paid plan all at once.
* Added some new user quotes on the front page.
1.2.17: March 18, 2008
* Internet Explorer expects quoted download filenames, while Firefox
doesn't. So I took that into account by quoting conditionally based on the
detected browser.
1.2.16: March 18, 2008
* Fixed a bug that prevented the upload of filenames with special characters
in them.
1.2.15: March 17, 2008

connection.
1.2.5: March 7, 2008
* Fixed a database bug that could have caused a cache save before a commit.
* Client code now only calls save_note() on the server when necessary, and

1.1.3: January 28, 2008
* Now, if you delete a notebook and the only remaining notebook is read-only,
then a new read-write notebook is created for you automatically.
* Made use of HTML <label> tag for UI checkboxes and radio buttons.
* Replaced a workaround for a Firefox DesignMode bug. The bug causes a jumping
text cursor. The previous workaround involved appending <span> tags and had
other negative side-effects. The new workaround involves removing extra <br>
tags.
1.1.2: January 22, 2008
* You can no longer edit notes in the trash. You have to undelete them first.
* Fixed several race conditions between save_note() and other note-mutating
