Rodent File Manager Changelog

What's new in Rodent File Manager 5.3.16.0

Mar 24, 2015
  • This version is code checked clean with coverity and deprecation free with gtk+-3.16.0 (but still compiles and works with gtk+-2.24).

New in Rodent File Manager 5.3.14.6 (Dec 29, 2014)

  • This release adds i3 window manager compatibility, including auto shifting of toolbar from vertical to horizontal and vice versa.
  • Toolbar orientation can now be set in preferences dialog.

New in Rodent File Manager 5.3.14.5 (Dec 19, 2014)

  • This release fixes the "posible" memory leak which I was hunting down. It was due to an out of place g_object_ref() call on some pixbufs. Memory consumption should now remain low. Compilation tested and running on gtk+-3.14.5.

New in Rodent File Manager 5.3.12 (Sep 28, 2014)

  • Xffm (once known as XFce File Manager) has now entered a new step in its evolution. Gtk+-3.12 is now rid of the popup and tooltip mapping bug which affected certain fvwm configurations and is now considered the gtk version of choice for Rodent Applications.
  • Rodent is now configured to use gtk3 by default with version gtk+-3.4.0, the minimum acceptable, but 3.12 is recommended. It is still possible to compile with gtk >= 2.12, but you must specify the option at the configure step and will miss out on some cool new features, like the pathbar.
  • Within Rodent 5.3.12 you will find that the package manager plugin now supports Gentoo emerge. Furthermore, you will find that this plugin is defined by means of Xschema validated XML files, which not only allow easy action and option definitions, but also provides full help information on package actions and options via Rodent tooltips. Current supported package applications include pkg (FreeBSD), zypper (OpenSUSE), yum (CentOS) and emerge (Gentoo).
  • The versioning nomenclature has also changed. The digits after the 5 reflect the Gtk+ version the programs, plugins and libraries have been compiled without use of any deprecated symbols or methods.

New in Rodent File Manager 5.1.0 (Jul 8, 2013)

  • Version update and instalation of rfm-simple-agent is now deprecated
  • name sort fixed in rodent-ps and zombie cleanup * Name sorting now works correctly in rodent-ps. Icons have been modified since old icons would be misleading and tend to indicate that name sorting was not working. * Cleanup of rodent-anim was leaving a zombie. This is now fixed * (missing waitpid added).
  • Informative message on no access for partitions Put in a stderr text when access R_OK|X_OK for mounted partition is not satisfied, instead of opening the location with no icon population. This is the same behaviour that a double click on a non mounted partition has.
  • Remove the BUILD string. The BUILD string refers to subversion repository version, which was dropped when GIT was adopted for version control.
  • Point POTFILES to moved find dialog files.
  • Modifications to build from independent libtubo.
  • Moved libtubo to independent git.
