[tomboy-list] 1.8.0 Roadmap - Encrypted note support

[Greg Poirier]

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on encrypted note support, but I'm not sure if it will
make it into the 1.8.0 release. In beginning my work on it, I found some
additional leg-work that needs to be done in order to do it Right(tm). It is
non-trivial work, but in the end could, if all goes well, allow for things
like: plugin-based encryption... Which is, preferably, what I'd like to see.
So, it may not make the 1.8.0 release, but it is coming.

If I spend more than another month on the refactoring that I'm doing, I may
just drop it. I haven't decided yet.
