Labyrinth is a Mind-mapping tool for GNOME.

Labyrinth offers the ability to create, link and edit thoughts across a 2D canvas. It stores these maps internally and provides a browser to access available maps.

Requirements:
GTK+ version 2.8.x
pygtk-2.0 >= 2.8
pygobject-2.0 >= 2.10
gnome-python-2.0 >= 2.12
gnome-desktop-2.0 >= 2.14

What's New in This Release:
New Features:
Open maps from the command line (allowing Beagle to work with labyrinth properly) - Kevin Kubasik (Issue #3)
Add "Further Info" to all thoughts allowing further notes to be attached to any thought. Some work borrowed from Gourmet Recipe Manager (http://grecipe-manager.sourceforge.net/)
Store maximised state for maps across saves
Export as Image (png and jpeg)
Selecting text within thought now works
Cut / copy / paste using clipboard and primary selection
Much improved handling of multibyte characters and non-English keyboard layouts
Massively cool new tango-ified icon (Josef Vyb?ral)
Large Browser internal rework. Added optional trayicon (disabled by default) Can be enabled by passing --use-tray-icon to labyrinth
First step towards an applet (Andreas Sliwka)
Much improved Browser window layout, adding menus and moving the "Help->About" from Map windows to the Browser window, among other things (Jean-Fran?ois Fortin Tam, issue #15)
Add debug printing framework (Andreas Sliwka)
Change cursor when moving mouse across thoughts to reflext currently available action
Merge "Move" and "Edit" mode into single "Edit" mode
Selection of multiple thoughts now possible
More performance work
Massively improved RTL support

Use tango-ified colours for text selection colour and to denote selected and root thought (until theme support is added)

Fixes:
Regenerate defs.py when required (Issue #1)
Add icons to toolbar as temprary fix for issue #2
Fix thought numbers across saves (issue #6 and #32)
Don't "jerk" thoughts around when moving (issue #19)
Escape should finish editing thoughts (issue # 23)
Backspace at start of thoughts breaks things royally (issue #25)
Problem resizing drawings / images using the top-right corner
ctrl-a selects either all thoughts or all text in (currently editing) thought
Improvements to handling of arrow keys within editing thoughts
Fix several unclear and confusing messages (Issue #28)
Change mode when inserting image. Remember current mode across saves properly (Requires PyGtk >= 2.10)
Fix export dialog to show up properly (Issue #29)
