Release 1.0.0

WOW Features

• Clones: nodes and its sub-nodes can be cloned. The two copies will then be synchronized
• Collaboration: two or more people can work simultaneously on the same map
• Restore complete session

Clones

• Create clone creates a clone of the currently selected node as the direct sibling.
• Both source and destination nodes get a (CLONE) symbol (you can disable this in the file freemind.properties, do you need this?)
• Move this sibling to its place.
• Every change to the source or the destination node will be synchronized on the other one.
• This should work after saving and loading later on, too.
• Several actions are not possible for clones:
  • You can't move one of the clones inside the other
  • Imagine some more as an exercise
• To disable a clone, move to the source node and choose "Clone node" again (The UI must be tweaked, IMHO)

Collaboration

• You can share a net in your network.
• To do this, you need to specify a port and a password.
• Others that reach your host and the port can connect with the password.
• They will get exactly the same map as a local copy.
• Each change from any participants is distributed among all participants.
• To end the collaboration, just choose "Share map" again. Then, some seconds later, all clients see, that the collaboration has ended.
• The title of the window shows the hostname, port and the participants of the collaboration.
• The change of participants may need 10 seconds to become visible.
• Each second, each participant tries to get the changes done by others (polling).

Restore session

• FreeMind loads each map opened in the last session,
• restores the zoom and
• the last selected nodes.
• This feature can be switched off in the preferences.

Other features

Moreover it contains a feature from Eclipse:

• Jump to the last edit locations (control-q):
  • If you press Control-Q, you'll get to the node ultimately changed.
  • Pressing Control-Q again moves to the last but second and so on.
  • Ten places are stored.
