2006-03-12 v0.9

2005-05-11 v0.8

2005-05-11 v0.7

2005-04-13 v0.6

  • Repairs a Bug when adding then removing and readding a date on the same note the event would fire anyway.
  • Also fixed a GLib timout handling problem leading to crash, hopefully !
  • tomboy-reminder-0.6.tar.gz

2005-04-11 v0.5

  • Set the note visible on top of other windows (not only bolded in the taskbar) when a reminder triggers.
  • Support for date and time. Both 12 and 24-hour format recognized. If a time is specified the note shows at that time, if a date only is specified the note pops-up every 30 min that day starting at 00:00, and if both date and time are set, the note show at that date and time once.
  • Updated README to reflect changes
  • Thanks to Yehoshua Sapir (yasapir gmail) for the time handling idea and code
  • tomboy-reminder-0.5.tar.gz

2005-04-10 v0.4

  • Uses Glib.Timeout instead of ThreadNotify, less crash-prone, i hope
  • Wait before the initial scan of tomboy notes, should prevent the blank note problem that appeared sometimes..
  • tomboy-reminder-0.4.tar.gz

2005/03/04 v0.3

  • Removed the yellow popup, now the reminder shows the tomboy note window itself, so one can edit and view the note when reminded.
  • When closing a note that has a reminder for today, it reappears 1 hour later the same day (snooze)
  • Various fixes, notably the window closed should now be correct (it isn’t closed, it’s hidden !)
  • DBus 0.23.2 is needed to make tomboy plugins work correctly !
  • tomboy-reminder-0.3.tar.gz

2005/02/05 v0.2

  • Changed the update method. Now scans at startup and at note closing.
  • Improved date matching, dates like “next monday” are recognized
  • Added a new reminder marker “remind date” or “alert date”
  • French date matching support “mardi prochain” or “rappel date” or “!24 décembre”
  • tomboy-reminder-0.2.tar.gz (contains source and .dll plugin)

2005/02/02 v0.1

Build and Install

With the 0.3 version comes an automake setup:

  • Simply run the automake thing, as usual: ./configure; make; make install it should automatically detect the tomboy installation dir and put the plugin in it.
  • Once this is done, you can either copy manually the plugin from the tomboy plugins directory to ‘~/.tomboy/Plugins/’ or use the builtin interface in tomboy menu
  • Restart tomboy, and enjoy

For distribution maintainers: If there is something wrong about the script, please let me know !
