Hello again,

Here am I to announce the second public release of Last File Manager,
version 0.5.

lfm is a 'midnight commander' clone written purely in Python and
licensed under GNU Public License.
It should work on any Unix (and Linux, of course) with curses module
compiled in. See README file or visit the web page for more information.

These are the changes since last released version:

Version 0.5 ("Last call to London") - 2001/08/07:

  + F2 file menu, added many functions
  + F9 general menu, added many functions
  + Implemented find and grep
  + File permissions, owner and group has a window now
  + Implemented preferences, edition has to be improved, of course,
    but loading and saving works
  + Added 'show filesystems info' feature
  + Now 'q' or F10 exits to current path, see proper README section
  + Default pager changed to 'less'
  + Documentation has been improved
  + 'setup.py' now installs docs
  + Many bug fixes and functions rewrites:
      - home and end keys work ok now
      - not all people use bash-type shells, so don't use 2>&1
      - use popen2.popen3 instead of os.popen to catch messages
      - manage problems with move while files don't fit into destination
      - option 'b' does not exist in Solaris' 'du -s' command
      - fix a problem while moving files if destination has no enough space
      - many others

Version 0.4 - 2001/07/19:

  + First public release


I'm going to spend a few days in London so I hope to have my mail full
of comments, suggestions, patches in the return ;-)


Best regards,

Iņigo Serna
