What's new for 1.2?

Here's a quick rundown on what is to come in January 2010 for Ume Outliner.

Ume Outliner 1.2 Preview Edition

• Bulleted lists
• Numbered lists
• Settings
• Some fixes to editing
• Find/Replace (work in progress)

Ume Outliner 1.2 Release Edition

• Bulleted lists
• Numbered lists
• Spellcheck
• Settings
• Some fixes to editing
• Find/Replace (work in progress)
• Documentation
• Wikipedia, Freebase, Google, and Twitter searching
• HTML/Text export

Some other things I'm investigating for 1.3:

• Removal of font popup (instead I'm going to have a drop-down in the toolbar for fonts)
• Tree styles - customizable styling per item level. For example, all level 2 items can have a blue font.
• Code cleanup
• Ribbon toolbar would be nice but I don't see this happening until the next major release of .NET.

And additional stretch goals for 1.3-2.0:

• Plugin support: this will allow users to extend Ume Outliner
• Template support: quickly load an outline template (for essays, stories, etc)

And a video to cause some excitement!

Of course, there's some other tools I have on my mind but currently keeping secret until the next release.
