Version 0.88 (released 02-07-2006)
- now the global Desktop file is copied to the local registry ~/.foxrc/XFileExplorer/XFe at the first launch of Xfe
(or if the file doesn't exist). This allows the user to easily edit the Xfe file to suit its needs.
- improved the performances on Linux systems when computing the dirsize (not recursive) of the root ('/')
directory by avoiding to scan the mount points (could be time consuming on a slow network)
- for archive operations use the directory name as a starting guess for the archive file name
- removed a lot of global variables (global options)
- added two new color options (foreground / background) for the file and dir lists in the Preferences/Colors dialog.
The foreground (font) color and the bacground color of the file and dir panels can now be set independantly of
the global interface
Version 0.87 (not released)
- temporarily disabled the print menus in XFileView and XFileImage because they were not implemented at all!
- when dragging files from a read-only directory, converted the move action to copy (useful when dragging files
from a cdrom for example, thanks to pechkov for the tip)
- major update of the Desktop file (now only uses lower case file extensions)
- added more file associations and icons (OpenOffice, StarOffice, etc.) Thanks to Vidar Jon Bauge <vidarjon@tiscali.dk>!
- added a specific icon for broken links and fixed a small bug relative to the status bar in FilePanel
- added russian translation (thanks to Dmitij Lebed <dimaz.sertolovo@gmail.com>
- added danish translation (thanks to Vidar Jon Bauge <vidarjon@tiscali.dk>)

<marvin6161@users.sourceforge.net> for providing a patch
- fixed a segfault when right clicking in the DirPanel on a mount point with permission 700
Thanks to marvin6161 <marvin6161@users.sourceforge.net> for providing a patch

<abuehler@users.sourceforge.net> for providing a patch)
- updated to gettext 0.14.5

- now there is no more difference between upper case and lower case file extension
- set the big icons and mini icons views in ICONLIST_AUTOSIZE mode to avoid file names truncation
- updated Italian translation (thanks to Claudio Fontana <sick_soul@yahoo.it>)
Version 0.86
- added norvegian translation (thanks to Vidar Jon Bauge <vidarjon@tiscali.dk>)
- added a waitpid call in statout(), lstatout() and mt_lstat() to avoid zombies processes
- the directory size is now periodically refreshed instead of updated every FOX event. This allows Xfe
to be more responsive.
- renamed function dirpath() into pathsize() in File.cc
- added the possibility to cycle through the three panels when the right panel is shown
- restored the "one panel" and "tree and two panels modes" since some people find it useful
Version 0.85 (not released)

(thanks to Luc.Habert@ens.fr for discovering and patching this bug)

- replaced the mini file manager icon with a better one (thanks to antonix <anto1945@infinito.it>)
- replaced the zip file icons with better ones (thanks to antonix <anto1945@infinito.it>)
- fixed problems with the German translation (broken shortcuts)
- fixed a bug when dragging files from Gnome (or other desktops?) to Xfe. The number of files
was incorrectly set to n+1 instead of n.
- fixed a small regression that occured when trying to copy or move a directory to a place
where a directory with the same name already exists
- simplified the source tree to reduce the compilation time
Version 0.83 (not released)
- modified the layout of the permissions tab to be more intuitive (first permissions,
then owner, and finally command)
- added button "Owner only" in the permissions tab to allow chown only operations
- fixed a bug in chmod and chown operations when trying to recursively change permissions
on a single folder
