A new stable version of OutWiker 3.0 note-taking software has been released. A feature of the program is that notes are stored as directories with text files, an arbitrary number of files can be attached to each note, the program allows you to write notes using various notations: HTML, wiki, Markdown (if the appropriate plugin is installed). Also, using plugins, you can add the ability to place formulas in LeTeX format on wiki pages and insert a code block with keyword coloring for various programming languages. The program is written in Python (wxWidgets interface), distributed under the GPLv3 license and available in assemblies for Linux and Windows.
