What Changes Are Listed for Recent BasKet Note Pads Versions?

Updated

The site's release notes list changes for three recent version lines: Basket 2.0 Beta 2 (bug fixes plus cross-references between baskets), Basket 2.0 Beta 1 (ported to Qt 4 and KDE 4, with source code moved to Gitorious), and a separate "Changes in 1.0.x" section. The download page currently offers Version 2.11 Beta (2.11b) sources for KDE (3.6 MB), distribution-specific packages, and an unstable development version labeled 2.49a.

Version-by-version changes

Version Changes listed on the site
Basket 2.0 Beta 2 Bug fixes from 2.0 Beta 1; ability to create cross references between baskets
Basket 2.0 Beta 1 Ported to Qt 4 and KDE 4; source code now resides on Gitorious
1.0.x series A "Changes in 1.0.x" section is referenced, but its contents are not included in the available page text

What the 2.0 Beta 2 notes mean in practice

The headline feature is cross-references between baskets. Since BasKet organizes notes into a hierarchy of baskets by topic or project, a cross-reference lets one basket point to related material held in another instead of duplicating it. That fits the site's stated goal of centralizing project data and reusing it. The rest of the Beta 2 entry is summarized only as bug fixes carried over from Beta 1, with no individual fixes named.

What the 2.0 Beta 1 notes mean in practice

Beta 1 is a platform migration release rather than a feature release. Moving to Qt 4 and KDE 4 changes the toolkit and desktop environment the application is built against, and the source repository moved to Gitorious. If you build from source or track development, those two facts are the ones that affect you.

Which version should you actually download?

The download section mixes beta and development labels, so match the file to your purpose:

  • Version 2.11 Beta (2.11b), sources for KDE, 3.6 MB — the build the site presents as the current download.
  • Distribution-specific packages — listed alongside the sources; the site does not say which distributions are covered, so check the package list before relying on it.
  • Unstable development version (2.49a) — labeled unstable on the page itself; treat it as a testing build rather than a daily-use install.

The page also links to "Basket on Launchpad," which is where you would look for project activity beyond the site's own notes.

Gaps to be aware of

The 1.0.x changes are named but not shown in the available text, so this page cannot tell you what that series altered. Likewise, the Beta 2 entry does not enumerate the bug fixes. If those details matter, the source repository and Launchpad link are the places the site points to. The page also carries a "Stay Tuned" heading with no further content, suggesting release information is updated irregularly.
