2			Release Notes
				and some History

This chapter contains the release notes to all the ClipNotes versions. It documents new features, the development steps taken, major bugs that have been fixed and bugs that are known.

Version 1.0

The first public release made on 07.02.1995. This is intended to replace the old Notes application by Stephen Fitzpatrick. The name has changed form Notes to ClipNotes to be a little more specific as Stephen suggested.

New Features

What's new this time?

·	Create Notes.
	Use the pasteboard, the services or our new command to create new notes that will appear in the fashion of the template specified and the position you have selected in the preferences. 

·	Create Templates.
	Modify the existing notes template or create one in the normal library pathes (/LocalLibrary/ClipNotes/ or ~/Library/ClipNotes). See the preferences for a description of the keywords.

·	Autosave.
	When quitting the app or logging out of the system ClipNotes will automatically store all your notes into the specified path under the name ClipNotes.rtfd.  

·	Escape.
	If you don't want to save the current notes you might escape from the app too.

·	Preferences.
	Use them to adjust all the settings. 

·	App.info.
	The app comes with a useful ClipNotes.info file (similar to .info files of the Installer.app). My NewAppInspector bundle for the Workspace will like this little extra description. Once I'll have the time to polish and finish it I will release this project too.

Bugs Fixed in Release 1.0

Well, there was no pervious version but let's say Notes 1.1 was what we are replacing.

·	RTFD supported.
	You can now cut and paste RTFD into your Notes.

Known Problems

Some of the known problems won't hurt anybody at this moment ± I hope. But I know that they are in there. 

·	Changing the Template.
	You have to at least change on character. Changing the fonts only won't cause the app to recognize the changes...and then it won't save them.

·	Drag Notes.
	Dragging notes does not work. It is just a dummy right now.

·	No Findpanel.
	Right now there is no find panel. This is high on the list.

·	No Linkbuttons.
	Future versions should support the link buttons that Edit uses. This might be a nicer way of accessing data.

·	Strange Window and App hiding.
	I am not sure if the notes window does hide and unhide in a very intuitive fashion. If you don't like its behaviour just let me know.

·	Missing Emacs keybinding.
	If you want them, I might include Emacs style keybindings in the next release.

·	Can't remove Service.
	The switch for disableing the service does not work. Remove the app or remove the service file inside the wrapper.

Development

Ok. Here is what I did to kick out this version.

Feb. 95:	Spent most of the time dealing this the Pasteboard class. No way to tell the active app and the owner of a pasteboard. (4 days of coding)
