Hello Chris, I have tested all the bugs that you have fixed, and confirm that they are really fixed as far as my tests show. I am especially grateful for your adding the pop up for the confirmation of conversion of a mind map to the new format.
There are several bugs of which you say that you are going to fix them later, meaning not in 0.9.0. I am not officially responsible for the quality of FreeMind, and the ultimate authority to decide when FreeMind is ready for final release is yours. I note, from the roles of FreeMind tester and unofficial quality manager that I have had, that some of these unfixed bugs are inacceptable from my quality manager's point of view. I will add some more notes on these bugs in the following. 2. Zoom: no zooming effect on node editors http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2800933&group_id=7118&atid=107118 This bug of rich text editing failing to zoom can be fixed with acceptable effort. It does not appear in my private version of FreeMind. Based on my private version of FreeMind, I have posted some suggestions into the bug report on how to fix the bug. If these suggestions did not work, something along the lines of them must work. This is not a hard problem. Importantly, the problem concerns every edit of a rich text node when the mind map is zoomed, which concerns all people who prefer zoomed mind maps be it for their eyesight or for their having high PPI display. It is not a minor usability problem with a rarely used function, but rather it is there right in the middle of the main function that FreeMind offers. 7. Crypted root's childnodes order error http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2912427&group_id=7118&atid=107118 This bug does not lose data, but it is annoying, its correction should be easy, and it is a regression bug absent in FreeMind 0.8.1. There should be no need for a user to manually correct the order of, say, ten nodes after FreeMind breaks their order after decrypting an encrypted node. 10. RC4 regression: incorrect viewing of UTF-8 map http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107118&aid=2810535&group_id=7118 You say "Can't be reproduced under Linux. I'll will check under Windows later." I have reproduced the bug in Windows. It is a bug that prevents loading of certain reasonably formatted mind maps not created by FreeMind. FreeMind's format should be open, in that it should be possible to create mind maps in this format outside of FreeMind. This is not the kind of bug over which one should hurry up to get the final release out. It is a regression bug, absent in 0.9.0 RC3. I sincerely recommend that you consider the option of fixing these bugs. I know that it will cause extra effort, and that it will delay the final release a further bit. But there should be some time now left for translators to provide the new translations anyway, so the delay consideration should be insignificant. After so many years of development, it would be pity to release final 0.9.0 with the kind of bugs as are the three mentioned in this email.
