September 1st, 2010New features:
· the bookmark manager now stores the number of accesses for each bookmark. When using "find-as-you-type" the entry with most uses is suggested making typical bookmark usage much faster.
· added configuration option to use a custom font for the file viewer.
· the file viewer is now asynchronous so a window does not need to be closed to continue. Due to internal limitations the file viewer window may not react in every situation.
· added support for ejecting devices and closing trays in the volume manager. The list of volumes can also be updated without closing the window. The command to eject or to close the tray can be configured in the volume manager settings in case HAL support is not available.

· it is now possible to sort the file list by file permissions
