v0.0.3 / 2017-03-20

This release adds support for a new BoltDB backend. This backend was largely added in order enable support for operating systems other than Linux. The original backend used by Notable was Sqlite3 which is an excellent embedded database engine used by many projects. Unfortunately the cross platform compilation required to build Notable on all platforms proved to be very challenging. Even if it had been feasible it would have required cgo which complicates the build and is something this project would like to avoid.

Fortunately Notable is an extremely simple program and adding support for BoltDB was very easy and solves all of the previously mentioned challenges. The only challenge it introduces is how to (later) add proper support for full text searching of notes. Luckily this can easily be added by leveraging Bleve
which is an excellent full text index for Golang (and doesn't require cgo).

For platforms other than macos Sqlite3 is still the default backend. If you would like to try the new backend you can enable it with -use.bolt. Usage of the new BoltDB backend does attempt to migrate notes from the Sqlite3 format if possible. Migration the other way is currently not supported (aka the two are not kept in sync).

Additional notes:

• Fix initial subject focus on note creation.
• Improve search performance by simplifying the widget.
• Disable caching to allow clean upgrades, closes GH-25.
• Move alerts to the lower right and use upstream class name.
• Initial usage modal triggered by ?.
• Initial addition of a BoltDB backend.
• Usage of os/user has been removed in order to enable support for
  macos without the use of cgo.
• The tests have been updated to run twice, once for each backend. The
  intention being to maintain feature parity until a given backend is
  retired.
• Simplfy daemonization logic.
• Add ability to restart via sending a SIGUSR2 signal.

v0.0.2 / 2017-03-10
