Hello Chris,

I have noticed that you have released 0.9.0 RC8, so I did some tests.
There seem to be no release notes with 0.9.0 RC8, so I have been
guessing what has been fixed. You have fixed the bug "7. Crypted
root's childnodes order error". The other two bugs to which I have
pointed your attention remain, and there are two new bug reports, one
that I have already posted in an email. What follows is a list of bugs
that I think should be fixed before the final release of 0.9.0

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.

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.

12. data loss in notes; note conversion
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3008236&group_id=7118&atid=107118
The bug leads to apparent loss of all notes (notes, not nodes) that
were within an encrypted node, after a conversion of a mind map saved
by FreeMind 0.8.1 to FreeMind 0.9.0. I have reproduced the bug in
Windows; the reporter of the bug uses Linux. In fact, the notes are
not lost, but merely hidden away from the user. The problem is that
the user does not know that the notes have not been lost, and, if he
is a non-technical user, has no obvious way of discovering that his
notes are in fact safely stored in the mind map.

13. Conversion from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0 drops newlines in notes
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3021953&group_id=7118&atid=107118
When a mind map created with FreeMind 0.8.1 has notes whose text
contains newlines, the newlines are dropped upon the conversion of the
mind map to FreeMind 0.9.0 RC8.

Thank you for all your effort on bringing FreeMind to a state that is
free from regression bugs.

Best regards,
Dan
