Hello guys,

A new fresh version of the Midnight Commander has been released,
this is mostly a GNOME bug fix release of the code:

• Availability:

  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/mc

  ftp://ftp.nuclecu.unam.mx/linux/local/devel/

  What is new:

• Devices

  Now you can have desktop icons that point to devices that the
  user has permission to mount. For example, floppies and CD-ROMS
  that have the “user” option in /etc/fstab. You can
  eject/mount/umount the devices with a single click!

  • Double clicking on mountable devices, now mounts the device and
    launches a panel on the mount point.
• Cool hacks
  • When you DnD icons from the panel to the desktop, you now get
    the icon and the text from the panel displayed. Right there on your
    desktop. It is amazing how little code this required. Like 5
    lines.
• Bug fixes, assorted enhancements:
  • Auto-restart on crash when running under GNOME session.
  • An option to quit the file manager. 2 query dialog boxes are
    there, so you wont quit it by mistake.
  • Symlinks to executables now behave propery from the
    property-dialog box point of view.
  • Drag and drop bugs fixed. I dragged pretty much everywere on my
    system. It is a miracle I figured how to move things back to their
    original location. Morale: dont leave me close to a gmc console in
    your root account.
  • URLs pasted to the entries actually work.
  • Support for non-GNOME compliant window managers work (ie, the
    desktop menu is available for everyone).
  • Memory leak fixes found by a kind sould running Insure.
  • Alpha fixes (George Lebl).
  • Desktop menu includes an option to create a new window.
  • Dirsize command

Enjoy,
Miguel.
