In the recent days, I was investing quite some work in a rewrite of
[[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/docs/memacs_filenametimestamps.org][the filenametimestamp module]] of [[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/][Memacs]] for referencing files
within Org mode independent of their storage path.

If you are already using this module, you should think of upgrading
now because I fixed quite some bugs. Further more, it provides new
functionality which could only be found in [[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/tmp/filenametimestamps/memacs-filenametimestamps.py][the corresponding
stand-alone PoC module]].

I won't go into details here, since I also updated [[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/docs/memacs_filenametimestamps.org][the module
documentation]]. For developers, I also created [[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/memacs/tests/filenametimestamps_test.py][a decent set of unit
tests]].

The most current version of Memacs is available via =pip install
memacs= but [[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/issues/80][it may need some help]] from experienced users of pip.
