1.2 Release Adds 1-Step HTML Export, Security Framework, and More
SAN FRANCISCO, California, November 5, 2003 – Circus Ponies™ Software today announced a free software update for NoteBook?, the most popular product on Mac OS X for organizing, accessing, and sharing notes. The 1.2 release adds a number of major new features to NoteBook, including 1-Step HTML Export, a Security Framework, and others.
“In only eight months, NoteBook has turned into a runaway hit for taking notes on Mac OS X,” said Jayson Adams, vice president of technology at Circus Ponies. “Working with our users, we’ve created a powerfully simple web publishing model, along with a framework to address today’s heightened security and data privacy issues. We’ve been delighted by the response to these additions and we know they will convince even more Mac users to love NoteBook.”
Highlights of the 1.2 release are as follows:
- 1-Step HTML Export allows NoteBook users to publish single pages, whole Notebooks, or anything in between to the web for sharing with Mac, Windows, and Linux users on corporate networks or on the World Wide Web. A full range of customizable export and publishing options allow users to configure the style, content, and site structure of their published Notebooks.
- The new Security Framework was created for corporate, SciTech, higher education and other users whose computing environments require a higher level of security. NoteBook’s Security Framework provides configurable covers, password protection, and optional encryption of data file pages for privacy and safekeeping of sensitive information in networked or multi-user environments.
- Multidimensional Sorting allows users to sort their data using one or more criteria, and includes several built-in sorts. Users can also save their frequently-used sorting routines as “Favorites.”
- Enhanced Searching introduces three new kinds of searches for case-sensitive, wildcard, and literal or “exact phrase” searches. These can be used either alone or in combination with other search criteria via NoteBook’s exclusive Super-Find feature.
- Action Item Management has been enhanced and now offers personalized color choices for completed, overdue, and due-today action items.
- Fully Illustrated Online Help – created using NoteBook’s own HTML Export feature – provides step-by-step instructions accompanied by screen shots to help users get started or learn advanced techniques.
Many other features and enhancements have also been added. A full list of new features is available on VersionTracker at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/19025
