This page contains the downloadable files for a binary install on Linux, Windows and Mac
Unless you know exactly what you need, you are far better off downloading the same release files from the Wiki Release Page
Release Notes
- New - File Links, much the same way that you can embed a link to a web site, you can now embed a link to a file or directory on your local computer. Maybe a link to an image or PDF document for example. Syntax is just a URL, eg file://Pictures/myphoto.jpeg - any file your operating system knows how to open. You can press Alt-F or Alt-D to get a dialog to select a File or Directory. Or use the menus.
- Support for OpenSSL3.
- Improved PDF export.
- Linux - Qt5 and Qt6 will require new libQt5Pas or libQt6Pas libraries unless you are using newly released OS such as Debian Trixie or Ubuntu24.04 which have current libQt5Pas (no one seems to have libQt6Pas yet). See below.
- Linux Qt5 version now prefers use of libxcb rather than Wayland. This is mainly due to incomplete features in Wayland itself. Its expected that when Wayland complies with its own spec, this constraint can be removed. While the default install ensure this is automatic (using a "desktop" file), if you start tomboy-ng from the command line you MUST add -platform xcb or use a launcher that observes the desktop file, eg gtk-launch tomboy-ng .
- Linux Gnome systems, fixes to try and make usable under Wayland despite its missing features.
- Linux altered command line switch that attempt to work around deficiencies in Wayland, --allow-leftclick; --useappind=yes|no
Qt5 and Qt6 users probably MUST install a new libqt5pas1 or libqt6pas6 library, your distro version is almost certainly not suitable yet. Get the new libraries from the links below and install them before or at the same time as you install tomboy-ng

Note 1 : The pacman package is, of necessity, built on a system that used glibc v2.36 and the binary will not work on systems running glibc less than v2.34. In a pacman world I expect this not to be a problem but if I'm wrong, please let me know.
Note 2 : There are two pacman *.zst files here with very similar names. The one with "-1" after the version number is gtk2 based, the one with "-2" is Qt6 based. I recommend the Qt6 one.
Note 3 : Github likes to hide the download files. Please click the word "Assets" immediately below here and, perhaps "Show all assets" below the list of download files if you don't see the one you want.
