This version has some important fixes and enhancements, including some fixes to potential security holes. * Availability: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/mc/mc-4.5.30.tar.gz * What's new: - Now GMC uses the same code to launch applications everywhere. This means that double clicking, or pressing Enter, or selecting Open from the popup menus now perform the same operations (Jonathan Blandford). - Root can now mount devices on the desktop (Miguel de Icaza). - The list behavior has been sanitized and fixed. We basically override all of GtkCList's broken selection semantics and implement our own. The list now behaves just like the desktop and the icon list (Federico Mena). - Fixed potential /tmp security holes in the scripts for the extfs filesystem (Owen Taylor). - Misc. fixes to the icon list and the desktop (Federico Mena). - Implemented discard command for session management (Owen Taylor). - Now times in the file properties dialog are displayed in local time, instead of UTC (Ronald de Man). - Preferences page for the desktop (Miguel de Icaza). This still needs some code in the desktop to work. - Tree behavior fixes (Federico Mena). - The treestore no longer remembers subtrees in remote filesystems (Miguel de Icaza). - Viewer and quick-view fixes (David Martin). - The treestore is now saved when the program terminates (Federico Mena). - Behavior fixes to the find dialog (Miguel de Icaza). - Take into account that dup2() may be interrupted (in the cons.saver) (Federico Mena). - New copy_in capability for the mtools file system (Serge Winitzki).
