This mail is to announce the new Tomboy version 0.5.8 development release. If you're running 0.5.4 or older, you'll want to update to this release before you hit the bulleted list serialization problem (fixed in 0.5.5).

Tomboy is a simple note-taking application designed to be unobtrusive and friendly, while supporting inter-note links similar to a WikiWikiWeb to help you organize your notes and ideas. It can run either as a Gnome panel applet or a notification tray-icon.

See the website at http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy for downloads, screenshots, and more information.

This newest release (0.5.8) includes the following:

Version 0.5.8
* This is a bugfix-only release...
* Fix DBus registration (#406224, Sebastian Dr=F6ge).
* Fix configure to work with --enable-dbus=no (#405577).
* Fix undo/redo actions for multi-byte characters (#407205).

As a reminder, the 0.5.x releases are development releases (for GNOME 2.17.x). The next stable version of Tomboy will be 0.6.0 and will be released in conjunction with GNOME 2.18.

Special thanks to everyone entering bugs, submitting patches, and helping to make Tomboy better!

Enjoy!
