This page contains the downloadable Beta Release files for a binary install on Linux, Windows and Mac

Unless you know exactly what you need, you are far better off downloading a slightly earlier release, v0.40, from the Wiki Release Page

New - AppImage downloads

I now provide two AppImage files that can be downloaded directly, marked as executable and, possibly run directly without any further install. There are a few things to note -

  • The download will need to be marked executable, the download process removes that attribute.
    $>chmod u+x tomboy-ng--x86_64-Qt5.AppImage <enter>
  • These packages were built on an Ubuntu 20.04 system (and therefore contains libraries from U20.04) and are not guaranteed to work on older systems. Indeed, I note the the Qt5 version works fine on Debian 11 Bullseye but the Qt6 one does not.
  • Both packages are around 35Meg
  • On newer Ubuntu systems, the app may fail to start with a message mentioning fuse, a library to allow user level file system mounting. Ubuntu of course have their own bundling system, Snaps. The necessary library is easily added
    $>sudo apt install install libfuse2t64
  • Argon (and reportedly other OpenSUSE systems) also need fuse, install with
    $> sudo zypper install fuse libfuse2
  • Some Gnome based systems will still fail to display a System Tray icon, tomboy-ng detects this and tells you how to fix it.
  • Your feedback about the use of AppImage would be appreciated.

Release Notes

  • These files contain an early beta release. But the changes made from v0.40 is relatively small and restricted to a specific area. I have tested this beta release reasonably carefully but, it is a beta release !
  • Address bug report #312 that could cause a crash if a note was deleted, within a notebook, if no content had been added.
  • Address feature request #313 - the original Tomboy allowed deleting multiple notes from the Search window. Its now possible to open or delete multiple notes and to manage a note's notebook membership from that Search window on tomboy-ng.
  • Not all packages for all platforms are available in a beta release. Sorry about that. If you would particularly like to try this beta release and the package you need is not present, please let me know and I'll probably be able to build one for you.
  • Linux Qt5 and Qt6 packages require their respective libQtxPas libraries. Most linux distributions have out of date versions of these libraries, the known exceptions being Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian Trixie. See below for where to get current libraries -

Please report any problem or anomaly you observe using this (or any other tomboy-ng) release !
