• Athens 1.0.0 is stable and available for General Release as a personal knowledge management (PKM) application, e.g. note-taking, journaling, reflection, and research.
• The releases prior to 1.0.0 have had zero accounts of data loss for over 9+ months.
• We are not focused on addressing non-critical bugs relevant to 1.0.0 going forward.
• However, future versions of Athens will contain the capabilities of Athens 1.0.0, and be more powerful and user-friendly.
• This minimal release contains the 20% of Roam Research features that deliver 80% of the value:
  • Bidirectional links
  • Block references
  • Daily Notes
  • Right sidebar
  • Outliner
• Saving and storage
  • This release, by default, saves your Athens graph to ~/Documents/athens/index.transit.
  • After writing to your graph, it will create a backup after X seconds, which is set in Settings. This leads to multiple backup files being created in the same folder.
  • Each backup is formatted {timestamp}-{username}-index.transit.bkp.
  • In the case that your latest version of Athens gets corrupted, you can change a previous backup to index.transit and re-open Athens.
  • Images are saved to ~/Documents/athens/images, but if you move your database, the image filepaths won't be updated, so these images won't render.
