Ella Released – PN 2.0.6

A new release of Programmers Notepad, PN 2.0.6-ella, has been uploaded to Sourceforge for immediate download! This version adds lots of new features and schemes, and fixes lots of bugs. It marks the start of a new stable/development plan for PN 2 development. This is now the stable PN2 release and unstable releases will be more common. PN 2 is the recommended version of PN for all users.

Thank-you!

Thanks to all the testers and developers that helped with this release, and a special thanks to those who have made donations that are helping to pay for hosting and other essentials.

Why Ella?

Ella Fitzgerald was a fantastic jazz singer, selling over 40 million albums in her lifetime. PN 2 releases are all named after jazz greats, and Ella is certainly welcome in this crowd! One of my favorite Ella tracks is a recording of her performing Mack the Knife live in berlin, such a great song and a great performance.

    Thank you Simon,
    Without you, we would have nothing to test or worse still, use.
    I only wish I still had the enthusiasm to carry on like you.
    The latest looks great although I still have issues with the networked drive. Oh well that leaves something to fix for the next relief.
    It’ funny. Earlier in my life, Ella or Satchmo sounded awful. Must be like brocolli. You have to be/get old to appreciate them.
    Job well done.

    Jim
