+<h2 class="section">4.1 Notes-mode history</h2>
+
+<p>Briefly,
+ I started keeping notes on-line shortly after I got a portable computer
+ in January, 1994.
+After a month-and-a-half of notes, I realized that
+ one does not live by grep alone,
+ so I started adding indexing facilities.
+</p>
+<p>In June of 1995
+ some other Ficus-project members started
+ keeping and indexing on-line notes
+ using other home-grown systems.
+After some discussion,
+ we generalized my notes-mode work and
+ they started using it.
+</p>
+<p>Over the next 18 months notes-mode grew.
+Finally, in April, 1996 I wrote documentation,
+ guaranteeing that innovation on notes-mode will now cease
+ or the documentation will become out of date.

+<h2 class="section">4.2 Credits</h2>
+
+<p>I (John Heidemann, <johnh@isi.edu>)
+ started, documented, and currently maintain notes-mode.
+I take ultimate responsibility for the code,
+ especially for the ugly parts that I won’t let others change.
+</p>
+<p>Ashvin Goel
+ <ashvin@ficus.cs.ucla.edu>
+ has been a very enthusiastic notes-mode user and contributor.
+He is responsible for at least
+ the ideas behind <code>notes-summarize-subject</code>
+and the ideas and initial implementations of
+ some of the original generalization and modularity improvements,
+ <code>notes-follow-next-link</code> and <code>notes-follow-prev-link</code>,
+ <code>notes-goto-index-entry</code>,
+ programmed subject completion,
+ and
+ context-sensitive mouse-2 handling.
+In addition,
+ he is an invaluable second opinion about
+ what and how things should be done
+ (even if I don’t always agree with him).
+</p>
+<p>Geoff Kuenning
+ <geoff@ficus.cs.ucla.edu>
+ has been another enthusiastic notes-mode user and victim.
+He is responsible for
+ finding several bugs,
+ motivation for mouse-less operation,
+ comments about the documentation,
+ the day-of-week convention,
+ and an initial implementation and the idea of
+ multiple entries with the same subjects in a single notes-file.
+</p>
+<p>Ramesh Govindan <govindan@isi.edu> did the xemacs port.
+</p>
+<p>Since it’s release on Usenet in April 1996 several
+ other folks have contributed.
+Thanks to
+ David Weisman <weisman@app1.osf.org>,
+ Martin L. Smith <martin@ner.com>,
+ Jason Bastek <jason@aai.com>,
+ Ulrich Herbst <Ulrich.Herbst@t-systems.com>.
+See the next section (See section <a href="#Changes">Changes</a>.) for details of their exploits.
+</p>
+<p>Thanks to Larry Ayers <layers@marktwain.net>
+ for popularizing notes-mode with reviews in
+ the Linux Gazette
+ (at <http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue22/notes-mode.html> and

+<h2 class="section">4.3 Changes</h2>
+
+<p>For the bored:
+</p>
+<p>First semi-public release. 12-Jul-95: version 0.1
+ Shared a version with Ashvin and Geoff.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 6-Dec-95: version 0.3
+ Ashvin’s changes for note traversal added (C-c C-p and C-c C-n now
+move to the prev/next note in note-mode).
+ URL parsing changed so that "localhost" is optional.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 19-Dec-95: version 0.4
+ More robust prev/next code added, both to handle going back and
+forward in the middle of chains through the index file, and to handle
+back/forward in a single file.
+ URL parsing changed so that notes-goto-index-entry correctly handles
+lookups on notes names such as "252A".
+</p>
+<p>Changed 20-Dec-95: version 0.5.
+ Fixed a missing variable in notes-url.el.
+ Added a work-around to a bug in emacs-19.30’s define-derived-mode.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 24-Dec-95: version 0.6.
+ Prev/next code re-re-written to be more robust.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 26-Dec-96: version 0.7.
+ Bug fix release.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 23-Jan-96: version 0.8.
+ Initialization code added to set up a new note.
+New variable: notes-bin-dir.
+</p>
+<p> I’m skipping version 0.9 because I erroneously release version 0.1
+as version 0.9 (only on the web, not on Usenet).
+</p>
+<p> I’m bumping from version "0" to version "1" since the code is has been
+in production use for more than a year by several people. Minor
+numbers are the same.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 26-Mar-96: version 1.10.
+ Setup code completely re-written.
+ Several incompatible changes have been made:
+ - the lisp and Perl code must be installed via make install,
+not by copying.
+ - some data is specified in a .notesrc file; copy and modify sample.notesrc.
+ - several internal elisp changes.
+ - catsubject added (bound to C-cC-s): collect all notes about the
+current subject.
+ - new notes-files are initialized with fields based on the prior
+day’s notes; see mknew for details.
+ - daily_work is gone; mkall is rewritten to use .notesrc.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 29-Apr-96: version 1.11.
+ Real documentation.
+ Mknew caching added.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 9-Aug-96: version 1.12.
+ Added notesinit to do all setup for new users.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 24-Aug-96: version 1.13.
+ Minor documentation fixes.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 20-Dec-97: version 1.14.
+Autoconf support.
+</p>
+<p>Fontification of the index buffer is now pre-computed in perl
+other than done when the file is needed (in elisp with slow regular
+expressions). 2000-line index files are now 1-2 seconds rather than
+15-30 on a 100MHz Pentium. If necessary (the
+pre-computed version isn’t up-to-date) we fall back on the slower
+code.
+</p>
+<p>Related work improved (suggestion by David Weisman <weisman@app1.osf.org>).
+</p>
+<p>Documentation improvement (problem found by Martin L. Smith
+<martin@ner.com>).
+</p>
+<p>Installation improved (code by Jason Bastek <jason@aai.com>).
+</p>
+<p>Bug in notes-index mode with subjects containing colons fixed (johnh).
+</p>
+<p>Encryption now supports mailcrypt.el.
+</p>
+<p>Support for emacs 20 (a small font-lock change).
+</p>
+<p>Changed 5-Jan-98: version 1.15.
+Bug in decryption for non-PAM users fixed
+ (suggestion by Kevin Davidson <tkld@quadstone.com>).
+</p>
+<p>Y2K statement added
+ (suggestion by Kevin Davidson <tkld@quadstone.com>).
+</p>
+<p>Pointer to mailcrypt added (as a supported encryption package).
+Problem pointed out by K. Ueda <kueda@jupiter.qse.tohoku.ac.jp>.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 4-Nov-98: version 1.16.
+Bug in kill-ring handling of notes-old-underline-line
+ fixed by Tim Potter <timp@jna.com.au>.
+Bug in whitespace handling after PGP encryption fixed by Tim Potter.
+Bugs in handling of entries with hash signs in their name fixed
+ (found by Tim Potter).
+Fontification of index buffer further improved
+ (mapcar is your friend).
+Xemacs support added based on code contributed by Ramesh Govindan.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 28-Feb-99: version 1.17:
+Improvement: notes-electric-return now fixes up the prev/next links
+ of new entries (only). Code contributed by
+ Takashi Nishimoto.
+</p>
+<p>Bug fix: reversed options -batch and -q in configure.in to placate
+ XEmacs 20.0; changed notesinit to not downcase the pathname
+ (bugs found by Thierry Bezecourt).
+</p>
+<p>Clarification: Autofilling of new notes more clear in the manual (hopefully,
+ suggested by Solofo Ramangalahy).
+</p>
+<p>Bug fix: a y2k bug in was found and fixed in mkindex. Sigh.
+</p>
+<p>New: Two mailing lists for notes-mode have been created:
+‘<tt>notes-mode-announce@heidemann.la.ca.us</tt>’ and
+‘<tt>notes-mode-talk@heidemann.la.ca.us</tt>’.
+Send the line “subscribe notes-mode-announce”
+(or “subscribe notes-mode-talk”)
+to ‘<tt>majordomo@heidemann.la.ca.us</tt>’
+to join them.
+[<em>These instructions are now superceeded; to subscribe, go to
+‘<tt>http://www.heidemann.la.ca.us/mailman/listinfo/notes-mode-talk</tt>’
+and
+‘<tt>http://www.heidemann.la.ca.us/mailman/listinfo/notes-mode-announce</tt>’.</em>]
+</p>
+<p>Changed 6-Oct-99: version 1.18:
+Bug fix: handling of electric-prevnext is better when there are
+ existing prev/next links.
+</p>
+<p>Clarification: I added some pointers in the code to the installation
+ instructions. (Apparently people can’t RTF README.)
+</p>
+<p>Extension: mailcrypt-3.5.x suported including pgp, pgp5 and gpg.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (date 23-Dec-00): version 1.19:
+Bug fix (cosmetic): suppress comments in encrypted nodes.
+</p>
+<p>Install fixes from Kannan Varadhan: elisp directories changed on install.
+</p>
+<p>Added C-j as a synonym for RET in notes-mode to parallel C++ or perl mode.
+(Suggested by Fred Jaggi ‘<tt>jaggi@rsn.hp.com</tt>’.)
+</p>
+<p>Outline-minor-mode support added and documented.
+(Suggested by Tim Carroll ‘<tt>tim@boomboom.com</tt>’.)
+</p>
+<p>Bug/typo fixes in gpg support
+(Contributed by William A. Perkins ‘<tt>wa_perkins@pnl.gov</tt>’,
+with separate patches from Knut Anders Hatlen ‘<tt>kahatlen@online.no</tt>’.)
+</p>
+<p>Installation improvements suggested by Christophe Troestler
+‘<tt>Ch.Troestler@linkline.be</tt>’:
+use install-info to update the info dir,
+warn users of –prefix that lisp files go elsewhere.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (date 1-Feb-01): version 1.20:
+Bug fix: missing file notes-first.el added to the distribution.
+(Bug found by Michael Totschnig ‘<tt>michaelt@supernet.ca</tt>’.)
+</p>
+<p>Changed ( 5-Dec-01): version 1.21:
+(backed-out—didn’t work with spaced URLs)
+URL lookup now uses thing-at-point.
+</p>
+<p>Fix to make notes-mode work with emacs-21.1
+(Fix from Klaus Zeitler ‘<tt>kzeitler@lucent.com</tt>’.)
+</p>
+<p>Changed ( 3-Jan-02): version 1.22:
+Several bugs in ‘<tt>notesinit</tt>’ for stricter Perl implementations
+(bug found by Paul Craven" ‘<tt>pcraven@yorku.ca</tt>’,
+and Kasper van Wijk ‘<tt>kasper@acoustics.mines.edu</tt>’)
+and to make it run cleanly more often.
+</p>
+<p>Notes-first now autoinitializes notes mode from emacs.
+(As instisted by rms, unfortunately about two years later than requested.)
+</p>
+
+<p>Changed (20-Feb-05): version 1.23:
+Outline mode is now forcebly turned on to avoid interactions
+with user’s text-mode hooks
+(bug and fix from Nils Ackermann ‘<tt>nils@nieback.de</tt>’).
+</p>
+<p>Install bug involving ordering of scripts and byte-compilation
+fixed (bug and fix from Mark Allman ‘<tt>mallman@grc.nasa.gov</tt>’).
+</p>
+<p>Fix obscure bug in configure, reported by Klaus Zeitler ‘<tt>kzeitler@lucent.com</tt>’.
+</p>
+<p>Fix for notes-summarize-subject when no subject is specified (bug and fix
+from Geoff Kuenning).
+</p>
+<p>Changed (14-Jan-06): version 1.24:
+</p>
+<p>install-info bug documented with the Debian install-info
+(bug reported by Aaron Falk ‘<tt>falk@isi.edu</tt>’).
+</p>
+<p>Automatic date completion in new days is now done in the current
+locale, so it should now work for non-English languages. Bug reported
+by Torsten Bronger ‘<tt>bronger@physik.rwth-aachen.de</tt>’.
+</p>
+<p>Fixed a bug in mkindexcache, triggered by subjects with percent signs
+in them. Bug reported by Philip Austin ‘<tt>paustin@eos.ubc.ca</tt>’.
+</p>
+<p>We’re a bit more robust about subjects, I hope. Warnings should
+appear about embedded number signs, and leading spaces should be
+filtered. Bug reported by Philip Austin ‘<tt>paustin@eos.ubc.ca</tt>’.
+</p>
+<p>Notes-mode now dervies from indented-text-mode rather than
+paragraph-indent-text mode. Unfortunatley this is not customizable
+because of limitations of define-derived-mode. Change suggested by
+Aaron Falk ‘<tt>falk@isi.edu</tt>’.
+</p>
+<p>Provide better hints about how to get started after installation or
+running notes-mode in emacs for the first time.
+</p>
+<p>In notes init, the default path for dir was the full path, not the tilde
+version of the path. Now it defaults to using tidle for home
+directory. Bug reported by Mark Allman ‘<tt>allman@icir.org</tt>’.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (26-May-06): version 1.25:
+</p>
+<p>fixed a bug in the release tar.gz file that had a additional copies
+copy nested.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (30-Jun-08): version 1.26:
+</p>
+<p>Force unicode I/O in ‘<tt>mkindexcache</tt>’ to fix highlighting mis-alignment
+when using emacs-21 with unicode subject lines.
+</p>
+<p>Changed mkprevnext and mkrawindex to optionally take the list of notes files
+to index from stdin rather than from the command line. Yes, I finally
+have 4093 notes files, overflowing the Unix command line buffer.
+</p>
+<p>Changes notes-mode.el to put path in quotes, allowing spaces to appear in home directory names (bug fix from Ulrich Herbst).
+</p>
+<p>Added a suggested features section.
+</p>
+<p>Changed ( 8-Aug-08): version 1.27:
+</p>
+<p>Change I/O in ‘<tt>mkindexcache</tt>’ to use locale (the sadly correct thing)
+rather than forcing utf-8 (the Righteous Path).
+Bug report from Geoff Kuenning, a man with an older Unix environment than I.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (20-Jun-10): version 1.28:
+</p>
+<p>Changed a regular expression in ‘<tt>notes-index-mode.el</tt>’ that was
+causing emacs-v23 (a pre-release version)
+to regular expression infinite recursion.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (2012-04-04): version 1.29
+</p>
+<p>(2011-08-23) Changed <code>run-hooks</code> to <code>run-mode-hooks</code>.
+Bug report from Geoff Kuenning.
+</p>
+<p>Changed some handling of PGP encryption to account for
+some apparent API changes.
+</p>
+<p>(2012-04-04) Fixed encyrption to handle encrypting empty notes at the end
+of buffers without going into an infinite loop.
+Clearly wrong code, but you have to ask this guy for why he tried:
+Bug report from Geoff Kuenning.

+<p>21-Feb-08: (from Xavier Maillard): should support “disconnected” notes that
+are indexed but not date-based.
+</p>
+<p>21-Feb-08: (from John Heidemann): should switch all notes files to have an extension (maybe ‘<tt>.notes</tt>’).
