Wordgrinder 0.8

#1 Post by bvliegen »

WordGrinder is a Unicode-aware character cell word processor that runs in a terminal (or a Windows console). It is designed to get the hell out of your way and let you get some work done.

Current version in MX stable repo is 0.7.2-1. Latest version from developer is 0.8 and can be found here: https://github.com/davidgiven/wordgrind ... es/tag/0.8

From his website https://cowlark.com/wordgrinder, dated October 24, 2020:
New! v0.8 released! Thirteen years old and still going! And I've just done a big update and worked through the issue backlog. This version has a tonne of new features, plus a lot of bugfixes, including but not limited to: markdown import, templates, filename autocomplete, a Windows console version, numbered list items... Please upgrade!

@bvliegen I'll ask one of the package maintainers if they want to do it, if not then I'll backport it. But it will take me a day or two.

I will start having some more time to package starting tomorrow, so I'll give it a try then. It's already in Debian testing, which is the first place we look for Debianized source.

@Stevo I asked Dan to do it via PM, didn't hear back from him though.

Good morning men (well it's morning where I am),

I'm wondering if there's any progress on this one. Glad to hear from you.
