Released DNote 1.2 yesterday. DNote collects developer’s notes from  
source code (TODO, FIXME, etc) and spits them out in a format of your  
choosing. Check it out at:

Hope it proves useful.

Btw the next release will focus on touching up the output formats. If  
anyone has any opinions on this please let me know.

= Release Notes

By request this release adds additional formats, allowing notes to be  
sorted by filename as well a label. In addition, paths can now be  
excluded from the search using “-x” or “-i”. To implement these  
changes it was necessary to makes some significant under-the-hood  
adjustments, and this required making some adjustments to the design  
of the templates and the command-line interface.

If are using any of your own custom templates you will have to make  
adjustments accordingly --which basically entails exchanging  
+notes.each+ for +notes.by\_label\_file.each+. Also use “–custom” or “-  
c” option to specify  
a custom template now.

On the command-line the format type itself is no longer used as the  
option name, e.g. “–yaml”, but instead use “-f”, e.g. “-f yaml”. This  
opens DNote up to many more templates. Use “-T” to get a list of all  
template formats available.
