Version 7.0.0.7 Beta Release October 14, 2011 Brains Page o When no Brain is open, a list of all your local and online Brains is shown. This gives you a single place to find all your Brains. Brains are listed according to how recently they have been accessed (a future update will allow sorting this list alphabetically also) Brains that are only available online are shown last The list of local Brains is created by showing the Brains found in folders known to have brains in them. If a Brain is not shown in the list, then you can open it using File > Open Brain and the next time the list is shown it will be updated to include brains from that location. o From the Brains page, Brains can be: Renamed Moved Deleted Opened, both locally and online Downloaded from the server Uploaded to the server Miscellaneous Enhancements o Instant search has been further optimized o Preferences look and feel fine tuned o Link labels are drawn using the default text colors instead of the link color Fixes o Fixed: Exception on start under Mac OS o Fixed: Single clicks on the Calendar register as two clicks in some cases o Fixed: Pasting of Web links and other content does not work when pasting to a link o Fixed: There are some layout issues with the startup and preferences dialogs o Fixed: The proxy settings are not used for HTTPS connections and at initial startup o Fixed: Some menus are disabled after logging out o Fixed: Some preferences are not saved o Fixed: Cant login by pressing the Enter key, requiring the mouse to click the login button o Fixed: Login information is not saved when the server cannot be reached o Fixed: Some messages say Free instead of Pro and vice-versa TheBrain Technologies LP Page 5 of 8

Version 7.0.0.6 First Public Beta Release October 1, 2011 PersonalBrain is now TheBrain o The client software is now simply known as TheBrain software. o There is no longer a Core edition. Instead, there is the Free edition and the Pro edition. Redesigned Display o The new layout engine featuring curved link lines makes it easier understand the relationships between Thoughts o Links are easier to highlight and click o Improved expanded view layout Performance o Animation and display optimized for speed o Database storage optimized for speed Enhanced Links o Selecting Links Click a link to select it. The link is displayed prominently as unrelated Thoughts and links fade into the background. Clicking on a selected link shows the context menu for the link. You can also right-click on a link to show context menu without selecting it. o Link Notes and Attachments Just like Thoughts, links can now have notes and attachments When a link is highlighted or selected, the Notes and Link tabs show the notes, properties, and attachments associated with the link. Floating windows can also be opened for link properties and attachments and notes o Link Directionality Links are by default non-directed but can set to be directed or one-way Non-directed links do not show any indication of either Thought being the source of the link Directed links show arrows on them and animate when touched, showing movement from the source Thought toward the other Thought Directed links are particularly useful when using link labels. For example, with the link label inspired looking at the link direction shows which thought was the source of inspiration. This is also very useful when representing flows between items, such as financial relationships. One-way links One-way links appear when the source of the link is active and do not appear when the target thought is active unless the source thought was already visible. One-way links are indicated by an arrow with a rectangle at one end. One-way links are useful in cases where Thought A is relevant when Thought B is active but Thought B is not relevant when Thought A is active. For example, you may want to see what company a person worked for when the person is the active Thought. However, for a large company with thousands of employees, you may not want to see all of the employees when that company is the active Thought. Creating a works for link type and making it one-way enables this. Link direction can be set on links as well as link types. Direction set on a link type is inherited by instances of the type and can be overridden by the instance Click the arrow icon on the link tab to switch a link between non-directed, directed, and directed in the reverse. Use the One-way checkbox to make a link one-way. This option must be unchecked in order to make a link non-directed. o The Link Tool The Thought tool now doubles as the Link tool and changes depending on what is selected or highlighted. When a link is the focus, the inapplicable controls for icon, name, and privacy do not appear. New controls to change link direction, toggle unidirectional state and set link thickness appear.

Other link enhancements Link labels are always displayed, even when not highlighted Label, color and thickness can now be set independently of type If set to default values, these properties are inherited from the type. If set, they override the values of the type Links with a thickness of up to 15 pixels wide are now supported Link types can be created from the link context menu The default thickness of links is configurable in Preferences > Look & Feel Copy and pasting of Thoughts also copies the links between them along with any notes, attachments, and other properties associated with the links. Synchronization updates links and their data automatically between brains. Advanced link properties, including direction, one-way links, notes, and attachments are not available via the web client.
