It's been a long wait, and after multiple UI changes and tests, I'm finally done with the first beta of JournalBear 5.0!
As promised, this will be cross-platform, meaning it'll run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, both 32 and 64-bit, but it's restricted to Debian-based systems for now, which includes Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary OS.
Apart from the features you're used to from the previous version, Productivity 4.0, the new version uses AES-256 encryption, and makes it mandatory, so you'll have to use a strong password to encrypt your journal. After that, no unauthorized person will be able to look at your entries without the right password. The new version also lets you search by date. Entries can now also be styled, using either HTML or Markdown, both of which are easy to use. If you're comfortable with HTML, feel free to use a separate <style> tag for all your CSS.
While we're on the topic of being new, there's also a new temporary logo!
I'll likely change this temporary logo, but for now, this is it.
Remember, however, that this is a beta and not stable software, so you might encounter bugs. If you do, please report them so I can fix them immediately.
The new version will release this week, and I'll post download links to versions for all operating systems.
