What's new in this version:

NEW Russian localization by Alexander Vasilyev

Improved Search field of browser toolbar retains the focus after pressing return
Improved Increased maximal size of search field in browser toolbar
Improved Default ruler of rich texts is now equal to the one of Panther's TextEdit
Improved Obsolete export option "Ignore URLs and use always current names of contents" removed

Fixed Searching for comments did not work
Fixed Too small delay between selection of an item and display of its contents
Fixed Minor user interface glitches (e.g. selection/expansion after drag & drop and duplicate operations)
Fixed Minor glitches of the info panel (e.g. after setting name, path, URL or comments)
Fixed No more selection after right/control-clicking on white characters in text views (fixed default behaviour of Mac OS X)
Fixed Bug of ruler handling which could crash the application or cause strange behaviours and visual glitches
Fixed "Launch" command did not work for contents with a local file URL containing spaces or special characters
Fixed Display of Internet links containing # characters didn't work
Fixed No more error sheets if loading of an HTML frame fails
Fixed After importing the "Quick Start", double-clicking on one of the imported groups opened a new window with a non-working list view (which shouldn't appear in DEVONnote anyway)
Fixed Panther's display of PDF documents inside RTFD documents wasn't disabled
Fixed Dragging URLs from Mail to DEVONnote did sometimes not create links
Fixed DEVONnote sometimes tried to read or write Finder comments although the Finder was not running
Fixed En- and decoding bug of rich texts containing japanese, chinese or russian characters (and therefore the "Phrase" and "Wildcards" search options are working again). Warning: You have to export rich texts containing japanese, russian or chinese content using the previous version and import them again afterwards. Note: "All Words"/"Any Word" search options do usually not work with asian languages, use "Phrase" or "Wildcards" instead.
Fixed Minor bug of kernel which could cause crashs under very rare circumstances

Handling a single rtf file of 740ko (a copy paste of an HTML table containing primarily links) makes DevonNote extremely slow (cannot do anything for a good 10 seconds)...
Good idea otherwise.

At $20, this has to be one of the best-value shareware programs around. I’m a professional writer and DevonNote serves as my text archive, my research hub, my writing tool and, on occasion, my surrogate brain.

It’s got all the functionality you might expect of a cutting-edge notebook program (basic outlining and word processing, wiki links, file cloning, live stats, excellent Services support, etc) then a whole lot more, including an in-built browser for taking notes from the net or storing/classifying bookmarks. More importantly, it shares the advanced AI functions of its (much pricier) big brother DevonThink, helping you classify your files and then find associations between them (read this NY Times article about DevonThink's AI functions: http://www.stevenberlinjohnson.com/movabletype/archives/000230.html).

If you work with a lot of text, you could find yourself living in this application.

Other plus points: an excellent forum, on-going development and virtually no learning curve.
