* Updated to automake/autoconf/aclocal/a* 1.10.x, with the usual
pains. I hope it builds for people other than me ...
* Updated to a new included version of GNU gettext (0.16.1).
* Made gentoo's start-up more friendly to GTK+, so that standard
options supported by the toolkit (like --sync) work, now.
* Added new Mexican Spanish translation.
* Added a "Case" page to the RenameRE command, with options to
easily convert filenames to all-lower or all-upper case. Far
easier than manually entering all characters for "Map". Also
refactored code of RenameRE quite a bit, it is shorter now.
* Fixed bugs where the GTK+ event-flushing loop used in various
places in the code generated a spurious error 11
("Resource temporarily unavailable").
* Added a new setting ("Buffer Size for mmap()" under Commands/
Options/ViewText) that controls how much data is passed from
the mmap()ed text file to the GTK+ text widget at a time. Before
this release, this was always "all of it", which seems to cause
problems sometimes. If you get an empty viewer when you try
looking at a large-ish (>64 KB) text file and you use mmap(),
lower this setting.
(Since that is set to work/.home, it was compiling in the pkgsrc work
directory and failing for PKG_DEVELOPERs.)
Use getenv("HOME") instead.

* Fixed buglet that caused copying of protection bits to always
be a fatal error, regardless of the "Ignore Failure to Copy
Attributes" option setting.
* Fixed a silly case of errno "leaking" out of the window title
setting code (which needs to mess with NLS). This had gentoo
break totally (couldn't even copy files) on Ubuntu. Big thanks
to M. Williams for letting me ssh and vnc to his Ubuntu box so
I could hunt this one down.
* Rewrote core of regular file copying function. It seems when
writing to a Samba-mounted (network) share, write() doesn't
like large buffer sizes. So we loop to empty the buffer of read
data, doing as many writes() per read() as is necessary. Odd.
* Fixed bug that made it impossible to use RenameSeq on volumes
using a VFAT filesystem. This was due to the use of invalid
characters in temporary filenames.
* Made RenameSeq's start value settable through a spinbutton in
the dialog, rather than a plain entry. Faster small changes.
* Added a new page to the RenameRE dialog, 'Map', which does
simple character mappings on filenames. Also supports removing
a set of character (think 'tr', applied twice).
* Added information about missing options (--locale-info, --run)
to the manual page.
* Russian translations updated. Thanks M. Zaripov.
* Added test for nested Move of directories. Thanks to John H.,
"m3", and F. Cosolete for reporting variants of this.
* Hopefully fixed broken logic in Copy that caused it to abort
too soon when skipping a directory. Reported by M. Bunkus.
* Fixed bug that caused DirParent to always (internally) look like
it failed, which stopped sequences from continuing past the
command. Reported by C. DeeDee.
* The SelectSuffix command will now use the first bareword argument
as the suffix. Suffixes are assumed to start with a period (.),
so running "SelectSuffix action=toggle bmp" will toggle the sel-
ection state of all files whose names end in ".bmp". This was
suggested by C. DeeDee.
* The left arrow key now exits the text viewer (suggested by
F. Cosoleto).
* Removed the -Wstrict-prototypes option since it causes warnings
in GTK+ headers which are simply too annoying. Hopefully I won't
regret this... *"Jaws" theme*.
* Cleaned code in various places where warnings had earlier crept
in hidden by the flood caused by GTK+ and -Wstrict-prototypes.
* Removed printf() from hex-text-loader which I forgot in there. :/
* Regenerated Makefile, hopefully fixing problem with install.
* Added "Video, MOV" type to default config; quietened mplayer.
* Updated Italian translation, from F. Cosoleto.
* Mouse bindings ignore all modifiers except shift, control and
alt at all times. Reported by Martin Uddén.
* Fixed sloppy pointer-to-int cast that gave warning on 64-bit
systems (Alphas). Reported by Jesse Perry.
* The Information command can now optionally display the output
of 'file' in its window. Suggested by Christian Richter. Do
note that this *requires* your 'file' command to support the
"-f - -n" option combo. See configure.in for details.
* If executing a child process fails, gentoo now sometimes shows
an error rather than just dying. This is an improvement.
* Added some more -W options to gcc, that scared out some sloppy
code that got fixed (even in widgets/). I like killing warnings.
* Updated About's copyright for the new year. Time flies. :)
* RenameSeq no longer opens its window if there's no selection.
* Should now compile on NetBSD, too. Thanks to Pehr Johansson for
the original patch.
* String input fields (created with '{Is}') can now be set to use
asterisks to hide entered text. To do this, add an asterisk in
the definition, after the label part, e.g.: '{Is:"Password"*}'.
* gentoo now supplies the window manager with a prettier icon,
and now also groups its windows, most of the time at least.
with buildlinking and other minor changes by me:
gentoo is a modern, powerful, flexible, and utterly configurable file
manager for UNIX systems, written using the GTK+ toolkit. It aims to
be 100% graphically configurable; there's no need to edit config files
by hand and then restart the application. gentoo is somewhat
inspired in its look & feel by the classic Amiga program
DirectoryOpus.
