Piggydb Changelog

What's new in Piggydb 6.18

Apr 1, 2014
  • Adds another update to the search feature by adding an All/Any switch to the tag search.
  • The ‘Any’ tag search produces another feature called “related fragments”. In the fragment page, the list view displays all the fragments tagged with any of the tags of the focused fragment.

New in Piggydb 6.17 (Feb 18, 2014)

  • Extended the fragment incremental search to support tags in addition to keywords.
  • Adds MathJax support that allows you to embed mathematics notation by writing LaTeX expressions in the content.
  • The global search box has been cleaned up a little bit, removing the redundant buttons.

New in Piggydb 6.16 (Oct 21, 2013)

  • Piggydb has provided you with ways to easily navigate through a knowledge-fragment network, for example, the tree and list views. This release adds another alternative to these navigation features: Fragment Quick View.
  • Another bonus feature to the Supporters Edition: embedding a snippet from Github Gist, which is a popular website where you can share snippets and pastes with others.

New in Piggydb 6.15 (Sep 18, 2013)

  • This release changes the tag icons to have different colors according to the types of tags.
  • This update would be important more than you think, because tag-fragments are the most important parts of Piggydb database and the new version allows you to easily recognize your tag-fragments from the others.

New in Piggydb 6.14 (Sep 3, 2013)

  • Added support for non-ascii file names when you upload files as file fragments.
  • Added a button that expands the sub-fragments like the tree toggle button does.

New in Piggydb 6.13 (Aug 13, 2013)

  • The tag palette is not very comfortable for browsing a large or deep tag tree.
  • Added a new pop-up view which allows you to browse a tag tree

New in Piggydb 6.12 (Jun 3, 2013)

  • Typing a fragment ID (number) starting with ‘#’ in the search box shows the fragment directly if it exists in the database.
  • In addition to the above, this release contains several minor improvements and a bug fix.

New in Piggydb 6.11 (May 25, 2013)

  • The header label is the entrance to this new search capability
  • Clicking on the label opens the search input box
  • When you type keywords in the box, the view is automatically updated to show the fragments that match the keywords with highlighting
  • If the view already has criteria to select fragments, such as a tag or filter, the keyword search will work as drill-down search
  • The external links in the content of fragments are now marked with an icon

New in Piggydb 6.10 (Apr 1, 2013)

  • First, from this version, you can access the pages in Document View using a short-form URL like: /d/, /id/
  • Secondly, a Document View button has been added to the global header, which allows you to open the home fragment in Document View from anywhere:
  • Lastly, internal links to a fragment in Document View have been updated to point to the pages also in Document View rather than to the pages in standard view.

New in Piggydb 6.9 (Mar 23, 2013)

  • Document View lets you browse your content in a plainer and simpler style, which allows you to concentrate on the content itself when you just want to read it. It is also suitable for printing.
  • Though it is useful and one of the key features of Piggydb, I’ve left it without updates for a long time.
  • In this version, I finally made relatively large changes to this feature improving its navigation and adding support for smart phones and tablets.
  • In the new navigation, you can move to the parents if they exist and directly to the home fragment via the home icon at the top-right corner:
  • I also added a table of contents to each page, which is useful for grasping the outline when the page is large.

New in Piggydb 6.8 (Feb 15, 2013)

  • In version 6.4, I introduced Smart Layout, which automatically switches the page layout between vertical and horizontal layout according to the window width. However, this “experimental” implementation was, frankly, not very useful.
  • I also updated some pages (fragment, tag, etc) to maintain the horizontal multi-column layout when you jump to another fragment or tag page from the home page.

New in Piggydb 6.6 (Jan 3, 2013)

  • The new feature is Fragment Shuffle. A shuffle button has been added to Fragments View.

New in Piggydb 6.5 (Dec 17, 2012)

  • This release adds a description label to Fragments View

New in Piggydb 6.4 (Oct 18, 2012)

  • This release introduces Smart Layout, which switches the page layout automatically between vertical and horizontal layout according to the window width.

New in Piggydb 6.3 (Oct 2, 2012)

  • Updates the Fragments View Slider to have a new level of zoom: ‘full-fledged‘.
  • In this version, a new level of zoom ‘full-fledged‘ has been added next to the ‘detail‘.
  • As you may have realized in the screenshots above, the default color scheme has been improved a little bit.

New in Piggydb 6.2 (Sep 18, 2012)

  • Updated the home fragments in the home page to be displayed as expandable trees.

New in Piggydb 6.1 (Aug 27, 2012)

  • The ‘Home’ menu has been removed and the title banner took on the function of a link to the home page. Come to think of it, it is more conventional implementation in the first place.
  • The ‘Filter/New Filter’ menu has been moved to the sidebar and implemented as a tool button.
  • The ‘System’ menu items has been moved into the user menu.
  • The Jump-to-tag button has been replaced with a more general ‘Jump’ button, which allows you to directly jump to a fragment by inputting its ID number in addition to the original function to jump to a tag by its name.

New in Piggydb 6.0 (Aug 20, 2012)

  • This release includes several bug fixes and minor improvements.

New in Piggydb 6.0 Dev 9 (Aug 8, 2012)

  • This release switches the new-fragment form in the tag and filter page to the new editor.
  • As you may already know, these forms have default tags derived from their context (the tag or filter concerned in the page) so that you can easily create fragments that fit into the context.
  • And finally, all of the old fragment forms have been removed and replaced with the new editor.

New in Piggydb 6.0 Dev 8 (Jul 30, 2012)

  • This release switches the form of a new related(child) fragment to use the new editor:
  • Before this version, only an image fragment has the type icon in its caption. This version adds a file icon to the captions of all file fragments and you can download the files via this icon:
  • The fragment editor itself has also been updated to have a shortcut to put a new line markup (“~”) when Shift+Enter keys are pressed.

  • Full-fledged File Upload Dialog

New in Piggydb 6.0 Dev 6 (Jul 12, 2012)

  • After the selected file is saved into the database, embedding markup will be inserted automatically as below
  • You can preview the content with the embedded files

New in Piggydb 6.0 Dev 5 (Jun 29, 2012)

  • This release updates the “Edit this fragment” button in the fragment tool bar to support on-the-spot editing for file fragments.

New in Piggydb 6.0 Dev 4 (Jun 27, 2012)
