Zim 0.20

Zim is a WYSIWYG text editor written in Gtk2-Perl. Zim aims at bringing the concept of a wiki to your desktop. For example every page is saved as a text file with wiki markup. Pages can contain links to other pages, and are saved automatically.
Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a non-existing page. This tool is intended to keep track of TODO lists or serve as a personal scratch book.
Development on Zim started september 2005. This means there is no stable version yet. We are currently in beta testing. New releases will be announced on freshmeat. Please subscribe there to stay in touch.
Zim handles several types of markup, like headings, bullet lists and of course bold, italic and highlighted. This markup is saved as wiki text so you can easily edit it with other editors. Because of the autosave feature you can switch between pages and follow links while editing without worries.
Enhancements:
- Among other fixes, a bug where zim would hang on "new link" on some platforms was fixed, as well as a bug that could corrupt links on "update link".
- New features are the option to control the look of a new page through a template and to control the rendering of pages through a simple kind of stylesheet.
- Support for slow filesystems was added.
- Other improvements include better handling of formatting in the undo stack and the addition of a "document root" setting to the repository.
