  cnotes v0.1.2 Stable

  gmgauthier released this 2026-02-04 19:31:21 +00:00 | 0 commits to master since this release

  cnotes v0.1.2

  Small but meaningful quality-of-life release — focused on making DOS usage smoother and the overall release process more reliable.

  What's New / Improved

  • Easy DOS installation
    Added INSTALL.BAT — a simple, classic DOS installer that copies all six executables to C:\CNOTES (or %CNOTES_HOME% if set), and offers to add the directory to your PATH permanently via AUTOEXEC.BAT.
    No more manual copying or remembering paths.

  • DOS-friendly documentation
    Included READ-DOS.TXT (8.3 compliant name) with concise instructions, quick-start examples, and notes about the default file location and environment override.

  • Improved build reliability
    Fixed subtle directory creation issues in makefile.tc so make -f makefile.tc now reliably creates the build folder and places everything there without manual intervention.

  • Packaging convenience
    Added a simple host-side bash helper (make-dos-zip.sh) that takes already-built DOS binaries from build/, adds INSTALL.BAT and READ-DOS.TXT, and creates a clean release zip with optional SHA256 checksum — matching the Linux workflow style.

  Downloads

  • Linux amd64 (built automatically via Gitea Actions)
    cnotes-v0.1.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
    SHA256: (copy from the attached .sha256 file after download)

  • DOS (built with Turbo C++ 3.0, large memory model)
    cnotes-v0.1.2-dos.zip
    Just unzip → run INSTALL.BAT → follow prompts.
    Full instructions inside READ-DOS.TXT.

  Quick Start (both platforms)

  # Add a note
  cnadd "Don't forget to back up the 386 today"
  
  # View everything
  cndump
  
  # Help on any command
  cnhelp cnadd
  

  Notes for DOS users

  Default storage: current directory (cnotes.csv + cnotes.arc for archived entries)
  Override: SET CNOTES_PATH=C:\MYNOTES
  Built for Turbo C++ 3.0 compatibility — runs happily in DOSBox, FreeDOS, or real hardware.

  Behind the scenes

  Makefile tweaks for Borland MAKE quirks (long command-line limits, directory creation ordering)
  Workflow remains tag-triggered — push v0.1.2 → Linux build & release auto-creates

  Thanks for trying cnotes — especially if you're running it on actual 386/486 hardware or in a retro VM. Feedback welcome!
