Version 0.6.0 of package Denote has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x package-list RET.
Denote describes itself as: Simple notes with an efficient file-naming scheme More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/denote.html Recent NEWS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHANGE LOG OF DENOTE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This document contains the release notes for each tagged commit on the project's main git repository: <https://git.sr.ht/~protesilaos/denote>. The newest release is at the top. For further details, please consult the manual: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote>. 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.
