Gnote
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, it seems that since last saturday, Gnote is now the default option in
| Debian for those platforms where Mono unportability prevents Tomboy from
| being used, namely: alpha, hppa, m68k, mipsel, mips, hurd-i386 and
| kopensolaris-i386.

[ANN] gnote 0.5.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Note to packagers:
|
| It no longer depends on boost regex. Instead it uses pcrecpp (part of
| pcre). This was:
|
| 1. to fix a bug with unicode that PCRE deal much better
| 2. as a side effect, reduce the dependencies as boost regex was pulling
| icu (which is big)
|
| Also I removed the libxml++ dependency as it was causing various
| problems between their ABI breakage and the bugs in 2.26. Now only
| libxml2 is needed.

What's New in Fedora 12 (codename) Alpha
,----[ Quote ]
| Gnote is installed by default in GNOME for this release replacing Tomboy.
| Gnote is a port of Tomboy from Mono to C++ and consumes less resources. Gnote
| is both an applet that can sit in your GNOME panel as well as a individual
| application you can run within other desktop environments. Fedora Desktop
| Live CD excluded Mono in the last releases due to lack of space. Gnote will
| be installed by default in the Live CD as well in this release. Tomboy is
| still available as a optional alternative. If you are upgrading from the
| previous release you will not be migrated to Gnote and will continue to have
| Tomboy. It is easy to migrate to Gnote however as it shares the file format.
| This migration is not automatic. You can copy the notes from Tomboy to Gnote
| using the following command in your home directory

Gnote in F12
,----[ Quote ]
| I have now changed the default panel configuration in F12 to include
| gnote instead of tomboy, and changed comps to make gnote default and
| tomboy optional.
|
| This won't replace tomboy in existing installations, but new
| installations will get gnote instead of tomboy.
|
| This also means that gnote should show up on the live cd (where we
| excluded tomboy previously, due to no space for mono).
|
| Some things are still needed for a 100% smooth experience:
| - pick up existing tomboy notes (less urgent now, since we do not
| replace tomboy...)
| - don't show the 'start here' note initially

Strip Mono from Ubuntu and prevent it to come back
,----[ Quote ]
| Really. This stuff is bloody serious, I mean.. will remove f-spot! And other
| stuff. You could also not be able to have sex with more than a partner at
| time anymore. Use it with care. I also won’t able to give you support to any
| issue you may experience.
|
| The day it will require you to remove the whole gnome, instead, you’ll know
| we’re in big troubles.

Gnote 0.4.0

Striking the Right Gnote
,----[ Quote ]
| Not that Figuiere is a Mono advocate. But his opposition over the years has
| been more practical than philosophical. For instance, in several discussion
| threads about Including Mono in GNOME on the desktop-devel-list in July 2006,
| Figuiere objected to shipping Mono-based apps on the grounds that the
| language required a lot of disk space, but was supporting only minor
| applications -- and he made the same objection to Python, a far less
| contentious programming language.
|
| This objection, incidentally, is one that he continues to hold today. Gnote,
| he tells me, "has all to do with the burden of carrying runtime systems
| designed to make the programmer's life easier (but not the users'). Had
| Tomboy been written in Python, it would have gotten the same treatment."
|
| Of course, Figuiere might have soured on Mono after being laid off at Novell
| in February. But, if he did, it would be strange if he continued to use what
| he describes as an "openSUSE 11.1 custom build with SUSE Studio with some
| custom packages" -- free software versions of Novell's own products.

Getting to know Gnote
,----[ Quote ]
| What is a big deal is that Gnote does what I need it to do. The controvery
| surrounding it be hanged (and you can use your favourite search engine to
| learn about the controversy). I like Gnote. It’s useful. And until something
| better comes along, it’s going to be my note application of choice
