In Fargo 0.71 there's a new Settings panel called Code, with a place to enter JavaScript that runs when Fargo starts up. Screen shot.

Note of caution: If you're a programmer, be careful. If you're not a programmer, be much more careful. This is potentially a very powerful feature which means it is also potentially a very dangerous feature.

Be sure you know what the code you're entering does, and that you trust the person who gave it to you. When in doubt, don't.

With that caveat... we look forward to seeing what people do with this feature.

Lots of little chotchkas in this release.

Heart menu

  • We use a lot of toolkits provided by some very generous developers and designers. The heart menu is where we thank them for their generosity. Screen shot.

  • It's divided into three sections:

      1. Tools that we use in the workstation software, Fargo and Little Outliner,
      1. Tools that we use in our server software,
      1. Technologies we use everywhere.

Suitcase icon

  • There's a new icon in the left sidebar, the suitcase. Screen shot.

  • When you click it, the Edit Attributes dialog opens.

  • By popular demand, from the best users in the universe!

Save button hidden

  • The Save button which was new in Fargo 0.65 would be visible even when viewing read-only outlines.

  • Now it is only visible on outlines that you can edit.

Fix in Set Name command

  • If you try to set the name of a new outline that did not have a title, before we assign the name, we set the title to the name you chose.

  • A few users set the name of the first outline they created in their first use of Fargo. When the outline got a title, we automatically change the name of the file from untitled.opml to title.opml. This would break their named outline.
