[tomboy-list] Tomboy 5.2 - bulleted lists not stable yet

[Ari El]

Just to report that, as mentioned in the announcement, tomboy 5.2 is not
stable... I found it the hard way; I've been waiting for bulleted lists to
be supported for long so I couldn't wait to compile and install 5.2 in my
edgy boxes. 

Then I started reformating a couple of key notes I use daily with multilevel
(3-levels)  bulleting.
Overall it worked great, but when I turned on my laptop this morning I found
that one of the notes had been corrupted and tomboy crashed when I attempted
to load it.

After some investigation I found that in my last addition to the note, next
to the top (a short bulleted list I added), tomboy improperly placed the
</notes-content> tag right after the list. I just moved this tag to the real
bottom of the note (I took other notes as a model) and this fixed the
crasher.

But still my note was not 'seen' by tomboy. Then I noticed that in the
bottom of the note, a </list> showed up right next to the </text>. I removed
it and placed it where my latest list addition was made (which was missing
this </list>), this basically fixed the problem.

Conclusion: if you value your notes and you don't have time to mess around
with your .xmls... better wait for the stable release!

Other than this nuisance I had... I found that 5.2 is simply GREAT. With a
bit more polishing it will AWESOME. Thanks Boyd &devs!
