Hi folks,

I'm away on vacation right now, and will have limited connectivity
during my travels.  I will be back on July 20th.

Since I have internet right now, I'm rolling the Tomboy 0.15.3 tarball
as we speak.  I will not be able to do Mac/Windows releases until I
return.  If anybody wants to take a shot at creating those binaries,
please post downloads to the list, and when I return I will review
them and upload them as the official releases.  Make sure you check
out the TOMBOY_0_15_3 tag in git (latest master is now 0.15.4).

If anybody is interested in helping out with releases in the future,
that would be convenient.  The release process includes:

* Review commits since last release, create NEWS file
* Roll tarball with `make distcheck`, extract, install, and test
* Use SharpDevelop to create installer, install and test
* Use MonoDevelop to build on Mac, then run bundle-mac-app.sh to
create Tomboy.app, run and test (I make the disk image with some
makefile magic that's not yet in git)
* Draft email based on previous release emails and latest NEWS,
including important informations for users and packagers at the top of
the email
* When everything looks good, upload tarball and binaries, push NEWS,
tag in git, then bump app version in git
* Update the index.html and download.html on the website
* Blog a high-level overview of the release

If you think any of this looks fun, let me know and we can work
together on future releases.  :-)

Looks like the tarball is now uploaded to download.gnome.org.  0.15.3
actually has some nice new stuff:

Version 0.15.3
* New underline formatting add-in (disabled by default) from Mark Wakim.
* Add ctrl +/- shortcuts for changing font size (#488822, Stefan Schweizer).
* Fix bullet display in HTML export (#422954, Stefan Schweizer).
* Update WebSync to use OAuth for authentication, and use the latest REST API.
* Fix i18n issue in WebSync (Anders Petersson).
* Add "Get More Add-Ins..." link in the Add-Ins tab of Preferences.
* Reduce command line output when not running Tomboy with --debug.
* Fix tarball for those that need panelapplet-sharp bundled.
* Documentation updates (Paul Culter).
* New Translations: vi
* Translation updates: bn_IN, es, et, he, sv, ta, th, uk, zh_CN

I also have some other exciting things half-done in my local git repo
based on feedback from GUADEC...will update everybody about that upon
my return.

Until July 20th,
Sandy
