Bias Versatile Information Manager 0.9.7.5

Bias Versatile Information Manager 0.9.7.5 designed to be a helpful cross-platform versatile information management application which can serve as an information manager.

Major Features:

1. Open source: Project code is available to everyone interested, meaning independent developers can get involved into add-ons development process
2. Cross-platform: Application runs under any modern OS, having Java virtual machine installed: Linux, Mac OS, Windows, etc.
3. Portable: Applications workspace is not coupled to OS and is stored in single directory; thus, application can be easily stored on USB-drive and user can work with it (same data) in any place (home, at work, in the internet-cafe) on any PC available (independently from OS)
4. Secure: Data user works with are encrypted/decrypted "on the fly" (this is implemented on core level, so does not depend on certain extension and data type), meaning even if USB-flash-drive will be lost and unauthorized person will get access to it, data still remain unavailable for him; same applies to network-transferred data (even if data will be intercepted - it remain encrypted)
5. Extendible: Applications functionality is extended via 3rd-party addons: extensions ("bricks" which are used to biuld full data structure), tools (like search, statistics, etc.), transferrers (data transfer protocols support, like FTP, SMB and so on), icon sets and skins (aka "themes") - special addon type, that allows to modify applications look and feel; different application functional "effects" are attained by different addons combining
6. Flexible: Applications "skeleton" allows to create hierarchical data structures with any nesting level, thus giving to user full freedom in workspace organization; another quite handy function supported is: different data entries can be linked to each other (for example, this may look like a link in text of one entry by clicking on which redirection to another entry is performed)
7. Usable: Bias is designed to be as comfortable to work with as possible: when application is started its state, saved on previous session shutdown is restored: main window (independently from PC used, OS and screen resolution) restores its position on the screen, entry user was working with last time activates and so on.
