since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
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>)
- fixed a problem when creating a file or a folder with Xfe : umask was not respected. Thanks to marvin6161
<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
- fixed a segfault that sometimes occured when dragging a file to the directory list
- fixed a problem with supplementary groups not taken into account (thanks to Armin Buehler
<abuehler@users.sourceforge.net> for providing a patch)
- updated to gettext 0.14.5
- fixed some problems with executable file names like zip, cc, etc. Now, they should be handled correctly
- 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)
- fixed a problem when archiving directories with escape characters in their name
(thanks to Luc.Habert@ens.fr for discovering and patching this bug)
- fixed a bug in checkTimeout() and removed the test on now.tv_sec
- added .wri and .dpatch extensions to Desktop.in
- fix compilation on amd64 platforms with gcc-4.0 (patch from Andreas Jochens)
- added the "New window" menu item to allow starting a new Xfe session from the actual window
- set the KDE and GNOME themes more actual and renamed them to GNOME2 and KDE3
- 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)
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
- 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
- new Debian package icon
- when multiple files are selected, the default for Properties/Permissions dialog is now "Set marked".
This is more consistent with the single selected file case.
- updated xfe.spec.in to reflect FOX 1.4.x support
- changed executable files icon
- added Windows EXE icon
- added Ctrl-W shortcut to the Quit button
- changed the font in Help window to text font (improve readability)
- changed delete and empty trash icons, for consistency
- fixed a problem when moving a file and that file already exists : only one overwrite dialog
should appear. Fixed the File::move() function in the File class.
- updated the README and help.cc files
- implementation of the trash can for file delete operations
- fixed a small bug in exists() function that prevent broken links to be deleted
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
X File Explorer (Xfe) is an MS-Explorer like file manager for X.
It is based on the popular, but discontinued, X win Commander.
Xfe aims to be the file manager of choice for all the Unix Addicts!
