What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Applied a workaround for a bug that caused the "Open" dialog to crash when trying to open a file when the file type filter had been reset to blank. This bug seems to only appear on some systems, probably depending on the installed GTK+ version.
· Fixed a bug that caused the error message for unfulfilled dependencies to not be printed properly.
· The rar/unrar program is now invoked in such a way as to keep broken or incomplete files extracted from RAR archives, since Comix might be able to display parts of these files anyway.
