- much faster export from .ncdb to .html

Notecase Pro v4.1.5 desktop and v1.1.3 Android edition released
Notecase Pro v4.1.5 desktop edition and v1.1.3 Android edition have just been released.
Downloads are now available at http://www.notecasepro.com/download.php
The reason why the both editions were released simultaneously is due to the file format changes done in this cycle.
Changes were needed to implement Android synchronization feature, marked experimental in this cycle. Android synchronization should work OK other than few things that are not yet being synced: document custom properties and bookmarks, note custom properties and note task fields. This is not critical because those fields can not be edited yet on Android.
Thanks for anyone who helped testing this and other features, your feedback helped to improve the program.
Major desktop edition changes:
- file format upgrade: attachments now have unique ID code, store records of the deleted attachments
- incremented sync protocol version number due to many API changes, new server will minimally require NoteCase desktop v4.1.5 and Android v1.1.3
- NcSyncServer now prints certificate fingerprint value on startup (SHA1)
- implement certificate pinning support into NoteCase Pro synchronization; user gets asked to verify the key fingerprint on first connection
- option to do "Replace all" operation within the currently selected text only
- task notes now can have a Lua script assigned to be run when task expires
- colorize note task within Tree Pane (all columns except "Title" field) based on Task Status value and "Is Due" state (colors can be customized in Settings window)
- import XMind topic attachments
- improve Basket file format import, adding support for images, links and attachments
- improve MindManager import, adding support for hyperlinks in titles, image topics, ensure that all topics have titles
- import Freemind hyperlinks
- convert Freemind relative hyperlinks to absolute ones (based on the path of imported file) so that they work regardless of where we save NoteCase file later
- when importing HTML file format, convert hyperlinks with relative paths to absolute form so that they work regardless of where we save NoteCase file later
- show "Sync" button on each document tab (optional, see "Synchronization" settings page)
- Sync Admin program now automatically refreshes the data in the current tab every 15 seconds
- setting to show/hide Close button within the Document Tabs ("Display" page in General Settings window)
- passing empty font value into Nc_Note_Format_Font_Apply method allows you to remove font formatting in requested note text range
- support for site license (unlimited number of users within a single company site)
- fix: program can start slow on Windows if any of the files listed in the "Recent documents" list are placed on the drive that is currently not accessible
- fix: improve importing Chinese text file
- fix: improve importing HTML file using character set other than UTF-8 (where character set is specified with tag, example:
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312">)
- fix: improve importing RTF by adding support to importing hyperlinks (fixes some "no links when pasting from browser" issues on OS X where RTF may be used as main clipboard format)
- fix: improve speed of Synchronization Server API calls when being called from Android client
- fix: when importing HTML file format, do not import JScript code within the block
- fix: possible crash when importing .epub file
- fix: much faster import for XMind and MindManager files having images; images are now loaded as note attachments
- fix: much faster synchronization for notes with attachments
- new Lua method to convert string from Utf8 to Ansi encoding (Nc_String_Utf8ToAnsi)
- new Lua method to load file contents given the file path in UTF-8 encoding (Nc_String_LoadFile)
- fix: rewrote several LuaFileSystem methods to use/return UTF-8 encoded file names instead of using ANSI, this fixes issues with reading files having Chinese names (WARNING: this change may break compatibility for scripts using LuaFileSystem)
- fix: improve Lua script "22_ImportTextFileTree.lua" to correctly import files with Chinese names
- fix: recent regression with parsing CDATA sections in HTML, causing issue with Evernote file import
- fix: issue with print pagination algorithm, sometimes a line or two may end up missing from the bottom of the printed page
- fix: halve the file import loading time for most file formats by doing note content hash calculations in the background
- fix: change text wrapping mode from wrapping by word to wrapping by character AND word (improves wrapping for long lines with programming code)
- fix: remove Windows OS "Please insert disk in drive X:" popups when building the "Recent files" list containing currently unavailable entries
- fix: NcSyncServer program did not work correctly for Windows 64-bit build
- NcSyncServer can now use .ini file to read its configuration, also got new "--config" command line parameter to specify custom .ini file (default .ini is "sync_server.ini" in the same directory where NCP stores its .ini file)
- update Lua library to latest version 5.3.2
- help file updated (work by Paul Merrell)
- Croatian translation updated
- Dutch translation updated (work by William Ouwehand)

For a complete list of changes in this release, see change log at: http://www.notecasepro.com/history.php.
Thanks to everyone who helped during this cycle.
I am now trying collect more user testimonials for my website, so if you want to help and get quoted, feel free to contact me.
Another important poll for OS X users: is there anyone that is using 32-bit only Mac?
I am considering to moving NoteCase Pro build for OS X from 32-bit to 64-bit, but I need to be sure that the users are using relatively modern systems.
The easiest way to see if your Mac supports 64-bit software is to install it and try to use it.
I've prepared the 64-bit installer here: http://notecasepro.com/get.php?osx_leopard/notecase-4.0.4_x64.pkg
Please do give it a try and let me know if it fails to work on your Mac or if you find any issue with it.

For a complete list of changes in this release, see change log at: http://www.notecasepro.com/history.php.
Thanks to everyone who helped during this cycle, especially to our slowly growing group of translator volunteers, now bigger for a member who resurrected the Spanish translation.
The following builds are deprecated and will be removed in the next cycle: Fedora 19 and 20 (v21 soon to be released), Ubuntu 14.10 (end of life coming in July), Debian 6 (Debian 8 to be released soon). Let me know if you depend on any of these.
Few remaining builds (Maemo) should be online within a day.

- fix: improve HTML handling when imported/pasted from external sources - collapse repeated spaces to a single space
- fix: document file change monitoring did not work on OS X

I am curious how many OS X users use NoteCase Pro on older versions of OS X (ie. less that v10.10). If you are one of those, let me know. I am trying to see what is the lowest version that I need to support...
