There will be a separate maintenance + release of ThunarVFS soon after this release. All functionality + previously based on ThunarVFS is now implemented on top of GIO + and GVfs. This means that remote filesystems can be accessed via + SFTP, FTP, SMB etc. For this as well as the trash feature GVfs + is required. Thunar does not depend on it because GVfs is a set + of GIO extensions and there is no guarantee for those to be + available at runtime if they are installed at buildtime. This is left + for distributions to set up properly. +- Thumbnails are now generated using the thumbnail management D-Bus + specification. One implementation of this specification is Tumbler + which is released independently. +- Show "Network" item in the side pane and the "Go" menu if the + network:// URI scheme is supported by GIO (via an extension). Make + the "Trash" item optional too. +- Use a single shared progress dialog for file operations instead of + individual dialogs for each operation. The visual information in this + shared dialog still has to be improved (work on this has been started + in an experimental branch). +- Use g_utf8_strlen to calculate the side pane width (bugs #3965, #5390) +- Add startup ID parameter to the BulkRename and LaunchFiles D-Bus methods + in order to support startup notification over D-Bus. +- Avoid requesting drag data if the drag target is GDK_NONE (bug #5771). +- Add startup notification support to the custom actions plugin. +- Use install-exec-hook for installing the thunar symlink (bug #5835). +- Use silent build rules if available. +- Use libxfce4ui instead of libxfcegui4. +- Depend on xfce4-dev-tools >= 4.7.2 to get rid of custom configure code. +- Depend on exo-1 >= 0.5.1. +- Updated translations: German, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Czech, Slovak, + Latvian, Basque, Danish, Asturian, Japanese, Galician, Spanish, Greek, + Turkish, Russian, Swedish, Catalan, Albanian, Kazakh. + 1.0.1 ======== - Put quotes around filenames in thunar-wallpaper-plugin (bug #5056) diff --git a/README b/README index 75def7552..b96535261 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -4,11 +4,6 @@ What is it?
