Well well well.... Originally I didn't want to make another 0.4.x release, but because I don't really have any new killer features 0.5.0 wouldn't be apropriate 
Still there are some minor fixes which I don't want to keep from you.
So there it is -- to celebrate the 1000th download, here is the first completely fremantleified, backupable and translatable Conboy version
Changes since the last release:
If I'll get some more translations, I'll release them in another 0.4.x version. If not, the next version is hopefully 0.5.0 which should bring my (personally) most requested feature: Synchronization.
The Tomboy guys are hard at work to bring us an online note synchronization platform and I'm hoping to _not_ fail on implementing that for Conboy.
Have a look at this blog.
I was investing quite some time to make this version look and (hopefully) feel nice on Fremantle. Now that we know that the next tablet/phone will probably have a smaller screen, I think it's even more important that the Fremantle version is completely finger friendly, including large menu and kinetic scrolling. I'll attach some screenshots soon.
Exciting times ahead

Changes since the last release:
- Added support for maemo backup
- Added support for i18n
- Added german translation
- Fixed memory leaks
- Fixed bug 4121: Conboy freezes when title of a note is empty
- Fixed bug: Font size 'normal' is ignored in the style menu
- Changed search window to be more Fremantle conform
- Keyboard shortcuts now working with Fremantle

I love tomboy, in fact I live out of it. Every phone call I get at work, every bit of inspiration I get is written down on a tomboy note. Good to see it come to the tablets.
/me goes off to download and install it now.

I wonder if it will cope with a import of all my existing notes

I didn't know tomboy before, but I find conboy very useful on the tablets, even by itself.
I can imagine that the ability to sync with another instance would make it terrific.
I just realised that I've been using it for a while without saying thanks here. Do you have a French translator already ? If not I'll do the French strings, that will be my contribution :-)

There is not yet a French translation, so this contribution would be very welcome! It looks like the next version needs an 'about' dialog to mention the translators
Then I'll count on you! If you need any help with the file format or something, just write me.

Then I'm really interested in feedback. Unfortunately I think that typing will get awful slow. But then at least I have a reason to optimize the search algorithm...

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:40.
looking for translators!!!
To make a translation, just fill out the attached file and send it back to me. There are really not many strings to translate so it should be a matter of about 5 minutes
Existing translations:
It would be really really great if someone could help me here. My French totally sucks
