Since there was quite a bit of UI changes involved that resulted from the previous discussion,
we've decided to publish this "Release Candidate" version first, just to make sure that
everything is working smoothly before going live with 2.9.
May 29, 2015 - Version 2.9 Beta3
(in green - changes since the last beta).
In this version:
Features:
- Notebook encryption and password protection: New menu item "File/Password protection".
- Fixed that main window could be displayed without entering passoword when
re-running CN from shortcut, when it was already running and locked
- When the password is set, CN displays status label "Notebook is encrypted",
with a button "Change password..." directly to the right.
Pressing the button displays the panel with the 'New password" and
"Confirm password" edit boxes. "Old password" edit box is removed (see below)
- If needed, CN asks for old password only AFTER the user presses OK in the
"Password protection" dialog, but before the changes are applied and results displayed
(the default password prompt dialog is used). Cases when old password is needed:
1) Password protection turned off;
2) "Remember password" turned on;
3) Password changed
- Fixed that main window could be displayed without entering passoword when
Enhancements:
- XML export: dropped support of old 1.5.4 XML format
- Import dialog: add "Allow duplicates" checkbox
- Editor: ability to hide inline labels ("editor.inlinehints.enabled" in cintanotes.settings)
- Editor: F5 to insert current date (insert timestamp shortcut changed to Ctrl+F5)
- Editor: links should support running programs with command line parameters

- Editor: automatically URL-encode links and add http:// to links without protocol

- XML Export: drop support of exporting to old XML format
Fixes:

- Editor: wrong behavior when pressing Del on the empty last line of a bullet list
- Editor: Link field could grow too large
- Moving notes to other sections via Shift+F6 didn't update modified date
- Regression: tag counts were not updated after changing note's section in editor
