Pem-0.7.4

Hi…!

I’m super excited to tell you that the new version 0.7.4 of Pem is out and could be accessed here. :)

The major improvement in this release is the support for tags or categories. For a long time I had been thinking about doing something with tags, for it had started to get annoying to do

    $ pem -s | grep -i bike     OR
    $ pem -s | grep -i bills

and see nothing but few records. But then there was this strong inertia to keep me from actually do something, until John sent the category patch last month. That was a real catalyst. After that, it was no more “it’s just for me and I can do it any time” business.

So after some fun time doing Perl, I’m really happy to release pem-0.7.4. :) Apart from tags & categories, now pem facilitates filtering of records using tags and/or description. Also there are few changes to the command line options and user manual. Here are couple of pictures showing the new features

Hope you find it useful…thanks! :)
