It was submitted to the 11.1 update channel as far as I know, but I guess it wasn't accepted. I was very surprised when users starting reporting data loss to me due to this bug: I'll just quote the SLED info:
In certain sync scenarios, it is possible that Tomboy will think several notes have been deleted, and cause them to be removed from all synchronized computers. Steps to reproduce: 0. Clear sync server; have lots of notes on computer 1 that aren't on computer 2 1. Sync computer 1 2. Sync computer 2 3. Restart Tomboy on computer 2 4. Sync computer 2 5. Sync computer 1 Expected results: Computer 1 and computer 2 have the same notes, which are equivalent to (computer 1's original notes) + (computer 2's original notes). Actual results: Both computers have Computer 2's original notes, but many of Computer 1's original notes are deleted (on both computers). What's happening here is that when Computer 2 does its original sync (step 2), it is not always saving the new notes to the file system. So once Tomboy is restarted, the notes disappear, which is interpreted as a willful deletion. Computer 1 syncs the results of that deletion, and note disappear. They can be restored from ~/.tomboy/Backup, but you may need to clear out the sync server and start over again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If I understand correctly, the submission was made as a patch to 0.12.1. Will ping Gabriel Burt about this to make sure I know what I'm talking about :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
