Added options for viewing icons/text/both on the toolbars.
A context menu has been added when right-clicking the tree.
Tree sorting and text sorting has been separated.
The cut, copy, and paste commands have been consolidated to do the right thing with tree items and text based on what has the user focus.
We are now using a clipboard that will make copying and pasting from other applications into gjots2 and within gjots2 easier (and as it should be expected).
Made it easier for people to run gjots2 from its source directory.
Added a “Gjots
FAQ” section to the documentation.
Bugs fixed:
Fixed hiding the toolbars to remove them from the screen, rather than just removing the icons and leaving dead screen space.
Fixed the export dialog cancel button to actually cancel the operation.
Fixed to handle the window manager close event so that gjots2 will always have a clean exit and no changes will be lost.
Lots of code cleanup, e.g. removal of dead code.
Many bug fixes for stability were made.

The sort dialog is not able to remember its settings - a bug in libglade?

Version 0.9, Mar 15th 2003

Bugs fixed:
Bug fix: Closing the window did not shut down the app. with the result that subsequent invocations of gjots would offer a READ-ONLY session.
Known bugs (fixes or ideas appreciated):
When gjots(1) starts up, the tree display is sometimes garbled. It can be cleared by closing and re-opened the root, but why does it happen?
Version 0.8, Dec 28th 2002
New Features:
Read-only flag (-r) and checkbox (Files→Readonly) added
Simple write-locking added - enforces single writer and permits multiple readers. Locking for file “filename” is via a file called “.#filename” in the same directory; it contains the pid of the current write-locking process. The first gjots process to open the file (without the -r flag) gets to be the unique writer. Subsequent gjots processes opening the same file are offered the option of “Try Again” (in case the original writer is finished) or “Read only”. If a writer is abnormally terminated leaving a file locked, this is detected and defeated by the next gjots process to open the file (without the -r flag).
Left and top toolbars are now optional
“Read manual” item added to Help menu (invokes gjots -r on readme.gjots)
Bugs fixed:
docbook2gjots & gjots2docbook were missing from the distro (blush!)
Known bugs (fixes or ideas appreciated):
I would be particularly interested in knowing just how I can get hold of the button-3 popup menu widgets (so that I can disable the Paste function until there is something to paste).
When gjots(1) starts up, the tree display is sometimes garbled. It can be cleared by closing and re-opened the root, but why does it happen?

Version 0.6, Dec 16th 2002
New Features:
gjots2docbook utility to convert to DOCBOOK XML - standard utilities can then be used to create
HTML, postscript, pdf, man or other formats.
More tree commands:
Shift-Up/Shift-Down = expand Selection Up/Down,
^Left/^Right = move Selection Left/Right (ie between parent & child) - same as the new “Promote/Demote Items”
Left/Right = go to parent/child folder
Changed tree commands:
“New Page” is now “New Item”
“Move Up/Down” are now “Move Items Up/Down”
“Promote” is now “Promote Items” and moves the item(s) to same level as the parent and after it. (previous behaviour was to make the current item into a folder)
“Demote” is now “Demote Items” and moves the item(s) to underneath the immediately prior item
.cpt extension (ccrypt) is trimmed from the window name and the root name
the width of the tree panel is remembered in ~/.gjotsrc
Bugs fixed:
^Up/^Down - move items up/down with multiple items - fixed
Cut now leaves the selection on the “next” item
Reading a non-existent file is no longer an error - and root gets the new filename
An unsuccessful local find would loop forever.
On startup, the root item has focus and is selected and the default

Version 0.4, Nov 3rd 2002

Version 0.3, Oct 25th 2002
New Features:
Change items selected with up and down keys

“Move selected items” are now on Ctrl-up/down
Added a button to invoke an external editor on current text
Items no longer have names - their labels are inherited from the first line of the text. The “rename” method also goes away. gjotsfiles with item labels are still read but the label is moved to the first line of the text.
Bugs fixed:
Too many error messages on decryption failure.
Main window can now shrink - re-set “Can shrink” flag on main window (of glade) to “yes”

Options button now invokes the preferences dialog
