This snapshot restores most of the functionality that was present
before the rewrite began (searches, LinkMaster, etc). LinkMaster
actually works correctly this time, unlike in prior releases.
(Incidentally, this version is a good example of making a link-aware
application without using LinkSimpleType). Big news for this release:
you can create links to ideas in other minds. You have to create a
reference to a mind before you can use it; this is generally
straightforward (you can leave the reference name blank on the create
reference form unless you know what you're doing). Links to other
minds are currently only one-way; this may change in the future. The
Record/*, Options/Prefs (except Home) and Options/About menus work, Go/* and
Options/Custom Sort don't. Scrolling works too, using either the
hardware or the onscreen buttons (this should correspond to the page
up/down buttons on the GoType keyboard; can anyone confirm this?).
Coming up in future releases:
* Fields (as seen in the desktop version)
* Some way to show siblings (probably a gesture on a link)
* Synchronization with the desktop
* Browse dialog
* History (this will actually be done with LinkMaster; see the
archives at http://www.egroups.com/list/linkmaster)
* Finish Options menu
* System find support
* Icons, documentation, etc
* Scoring ideas and links
