Leo is a text editor, data organizer, project manager and much more. Look here for more information.
The highlights of Leo 4.8
Leo now uses the simplest possible sentinel lines in external files. External files with sentinels now look like Emacs org-mode files.
Leo Qt gui now supports Drag and Drop. This was one of the most frequently requested features.
Improved abbreviation commands. You now define abbreviations in Leo settings nodes, not external files.
@url nodes may contain url's in body text. This allows headlines to contain summaries: very useful.
Leo now uses PyEnchant to check spelling.
Leo can now open multiple files from the command line.
Leo's ancient Tangle and Untangle commands are now deprecated. This will help newbies how to learn Leo.
Leo now shows "Resurrected" and "Recovered" nodes. These protect data and show how data have changed. These fix several long-standing data-related problems.
A new "screenshots" plugin for creating slide shows with Leo. I used this plugin to create Leo's introductory slide shows.
A better installer.
Many bug fixes.

Science-based education
From an obituary of Georges Charpak (1924-2010) appearing in Science, 29 October, 2010:
"A team formed under the aegis of the French Academy, and it soon defined a strategy and tactics. The strategy was founded on a single priority: to use science to support the child's mental development. This meant inculcating a taste for questioning, a sense of observation, intellectual rigor, practice with reasoning, modesty in the face of facts, an ability to distinguish between true and false, and an attachment to logical and precise language."
Presumably these values, and values they are, are deeply troubling to some. How else to explain the anti-science attitudes so distressingly prevalent in the United States these days.
