Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.

Comix 4.0.4
- Applied a workaround for a bug that caused the "Open" dialog to crash
when trying to open a file when the file type filter had been reset to
blank. This bug seems to only appear on some systems, probably depending
on the installed GTK+ version.
- Fixed a bug that caused the error message for unfulfilled dependencies
to not be printed properly.
- The rar/unrar program is now invoked in such a way as to keep broken
or incomplete files extracted from RAR archives, since Comix might be
able to display parts of these files anyway.
Comix 4.0.3
- Hungarian translation updated by Ernő Drabik.
- French translation updated by Benoît H.
- Added a feature to automatically rotate images according to their
EXIF tags.
- Fixed a bug that caused drag-n-drop actions from KDE applications to
not work properly.
- Fixed some bugs that caused problems with non-UTF-8 filename encodings.
- Fixed a bug that caused the manual zoom mode to not work as expected
when set as the default mode.
- Comix now accepts directories as command-line arguments.
- Added command-line arguments to start Comix in fullscreen mode and to
display the library on startup.
- Comix preferences and data now reside in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and
$XDG_DATA_HOME directories instead of in ~/.comix/.
- Some minor interface enhancements.
Comix 4.0.2
- Brazilian Portuguese translation updated by Marcelo Góes.
- Traditional Chinese translation updated by Wayne Su.
- Catalan translation updated by Carles Escrig Royo.
- Internal filenames in archives created by the archive editing dialog
no longer contain temporary filename cruft.
Comix 4.0.1
- Croatian translation updated by Adrian C.
- Polish translation updated by Darek Jakoniuk.
- Russian translation updated by Артем Смирнов.
- Simplified Chinese translation updated by Xie Yanbo.
- Re-added the "flip pages when scrolling off the page" preference
from previous Comix versions. Thanks to Mamoru Tasaka.
- Added a portability module for handling home directories in a more
portable way. Thanks to Oddegamra.
Comix 4.0.0
- Comix has been completely rewritten from scratch. On the surface things
look quite a bit like they used to, but the internal workings are
entirely new. There are too many changes for them all to be mentioned
here, but a couple of highlights are a much more functional library and a
new archive editing dialog. The work on this new version of Comix has
been going on in rather sporadic phases for almost two years, and during
that time I have received help from lots of different people. Now, I must
admit, I can no longer remember them all. So instead of trying to list as
many as I can here, I will instead simply say thank you to everyone who
have contributed fixes, patches, suggestions or encouraging words. Thanks!
Comix 3.6.4
- Added a Russian translation by Artyom Smirnov.
- Added a Croatian translation by Adrian C.
- Fixed a bug in the thumbnailer, comicthumb, failing to create thumbnails
for Zip and tar archives.
- Some minor changes.
Comix 3.6.3
- Added a Hungarian translation by Ernő Drabik.
- Added a patch by Abdullah Hamed that fixes so that the arrow keys can be
used to flip pages also when not in fit-to-screen mode when the
corresponding preference is set. Just like was possible only with the
scroll wheel before.
- Fixed a bug with opening certain Zip files. Thanks to Steve Juranich for
the fix.
- Fixed a bug concerning %'s in filenames.
Comix 3.6
- Added an "Adjust colour" dialog that lets you specify values for
brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness.
- Improved the behaviour of the "Save window position and size" and
"Default fullscreen" preferences.
- Changed the "Save window position and size" preference to on by default.
- Changed the menus a bit.
- Improved autocontrast (slightly heavier contrast change).
- Changed the UI of the properties dialog a bit to better suit low
resolution screens.
- Improved handling of Zip files containing files with filenames of an
unknown character encoding.
- Added extra error message to install.py that is displayed when trying to
install into a non-existing directory.
- Added a --no-balloon option to install.py that tells the Nautilus
thumbnailer to not imprint balloon images on thumbnails by default.
- Fixed a bug that could cause Comix to scale images to the wrong
dimensions on a dual-screen setup. Thanks to Vegard Eriksen for this fix.
- Fixed a bug that caused icons to not be loaded when starting Comix
through a symbolic link not located in the same directory as the `comix`
executable.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error message when going back to a
previous archive by flipping backwards in double page mode and directly
switching to single page mode afterwards.
- Fixed a bug that caused Comix to treat empty files as tar archives.
Thanks to Christoph Wolk for this fix.
- Fixed a bug in comicthumb with thumbnailing rar archives, plus
some cleanup. (Christoph Wolk)
Comix 3.5.1
- Fixed a bug that caused the mode of all images to be reported as
"unknown" instead of RGB/CMYK etc.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error when trying to quit Comix under
certain circumstances (i.e. when there is no ~/.comix/menu_thumbnails/
directory present).
Comix 3.5
- Added a bunch of new icons, including a new "logo".
- The magnifying lens code has been polished a bit. It is now
substantially faster so the lens should appear less choppy.
- Added horizontal and vertical lossless JPEG flip commands.
- Added a JPEG desaturation command.
- Added support for SVG, PCX, PNM, PBM, PGM, PPM, Targa and Sun raster
image files.
- Rearranged the toolbar a bit and added tooltips to it.
- When a directory is given as a command line parameter, Comix now
recursively searches for cbr, cbz and cbt files as well as image files.
- Changed install.py so that it aborts installation if the required
dependencies are not found.
- Fixed a bug that caused the space key to not scroll down when in double
page mode and manga mode and the window is wider than the pages.
- Applied a workaround for a bug(?) in WindowMaker that caused problems
when using the "fullscreen as default" preference.
- Fixed a memory leak in the magnifying lens code.
- Some internal and some minor changes.
Comix 3.4
- Added more image data to the properties dialog.
- Added a "delete image" command that can remove single images from Comix.
It is currently not possible to remove image files within archives.
- Added lossless JPEG rotation commands. It is currently not possible to
rotate image files within archives. The `jpegtran` program (part of the
jpeg library) must be present for this to work. Comix can still run as
normal without `jpegtran`, but then without the new JPEG rotation
capabilities.
- Changed the buttons in the toolbar.
- Improved the space key smart scrolling mode so that it automatically
performs all the sideways scrolling as well.
- Added a preference to set the magnitude of the space key scroll in
percentages of either the window size or the page size.
- Added a Traditional Chinese translation by Hsin-Lin Cheng.
- Comments are now displayed using a monospaced font.
- Comments can now be dragged around with the mouse just like an image.
- Directories can now be given as command line parameters as well as
files. If a directory is given it will be recursed into and the first
image file found will be loaded.
- Improved cover guessing of comicthumb and the library a bit.
- Handling of files that have filenames encoded with the wrong
character encoding is now more sturdy.
- Fixed a bug that could cause outdated thumbnails to be left in the
~/.comix/menu_thumbnails/ directory when running multiple instances of
Comix at the same time.
- Applied a workaround for a bug(?) in WindowMaker that caused the "Open
dialog" to be invisible while in fullscreen mode when using WindowMaker.
The same problem applies to the library window, but there is no
workaround for that in place currently.
- Fixed a bug that could cause no images to be displayed when turning
double page mode off, then on again and flipping to the next couple
of pages in that order.
- Some minor changes.
Comix is an image viewer specifically designed to handle comic books.
It reads ZIP, RAR and tar archives (also gzip or bzip2 compressed), as
well as plain image files. It has a simple and user-friendly GUI using
PyGTK.
