Version 0.6.0 on 2022-08-31
═══════════════════════════
Denote is in a stable state. I consider it feature-complete, without
prejudice to possible refinements to its existing feature set. The
next version shall be `1.0.0'.
User-facing changes
───────────────────
⁃ The Denote linking facility can now link to any file that has the
Denote file-naming scheme. Before, we limited this feature to what
we consider "note" files, else the supported plain text formats (per
`denote-file-type'). Thanks to Peter Prevos for the discussion on
the mailing list:
<https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/denote/%3C87fsi1m5ze.fsf%40prevos.net%3E>.
⁃ Date prompts may optionally use the familiar Org date-selection
mechanism that leverages the calendar. This feature is subject to
the user option `denote-date-prompt-use-org-read-date'. A date
prompt is used by the `denote-date' command or, optionally, by the
`denote' command when the user option `denote-prompts' is configured
accordingly. The manual elaborates on the specificities. Thanks to
Jean-Philippe Gagné Guay for the contribution in pull request 97 at
the GitHub mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/pull/97>.
⁃ Leading empty spaces at the `denote' `TITLE' prompt no longer
produce hyphens: they are simply ignored to keep file names
consistent. Thanks to Peter Prevos for the contribution in pull
request 99 at the GitHub mirror:
<https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/pull/99>.
[ Peter has started the process for copyright assignment to the Free
Software Foundation, though the total contributions are still
within the permitted boundaries. ]
⁃ When linking to files that have no front matter, the link's anchor
text (the human-readable part) is derived from the file name `TITLE'
component. We apply a de-hyphenation and capitalisation of its
constituent words. This is not always perfect, but it is better
than something like `this-is-the-title'. Thanks to Peter Prevos for
the original idea in pull request 93 at the GitHub mirror:
<https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/pull/93>.
⁃ The active region is now used as the default value of the `denote'
command `TITLE' prompt. The idea behind this
Do-What-I-Mean-flavoured patch is to be able to take a note about a
subject that appears in a buffer by simply marking it before
invoking the `denote' command.
Thanks to Eshel Yaron for the patch:
<https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/denote/patches/34870>. It is
below the ~15 line threshold that thus requires no copyright
assignment to the Free Software Foundation.
⁃ The `denote-rename-file-using-front-matter' command now offers to
save the buffer if appropriate. In the past, it would simply
produce an error asking the user to save the buffer. Thanks to
Peter Prevos for the contribution in pull request 103 at he GitHub
mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/pull/103>.
⁃ Fixed the text of the confirmation prompt in the command
`denote-migrate-old-markdown-yaml-tags'. Thanks to Abin Simon for
the patch: <https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/denote/patches/34632>.
This patchset also fixes (i) how a tag is identified for the
purposes of migrating old to new front matter, (ii) the regular
expression for Org front matter keywords
[ The total changes are below the ~15 line threshold and thus do not
require copyright assignment to the Free Software Foundation. ]
⁃ Fixed a bug that prevented the creation of new notes. Thanks to
