This is just an update of the build scripts, fixing some issues reported on various distros.

Source tarball: https://.org/release/-0.3.11.tar.gz

This is just a minor update.

News:

• Improved build scripts (autoconf 2.69)
• Greek translation

Note that this is still the old C#/Mono based source.

I guess some of you are wondering what is going on with these days, and the truth is – not much. I started out on a python port about a year ago, and was about 70-80% done when other (paid) projects distracted me. I am still busy with other projects and probably will be for a few months. This doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten all about , and I still want to get the rewrite done. So, for those thinking is dead, this is a little update on what is (not) happening.

The current state of the new is:

• Pure python
• Works with python 2 and 3
• GTK+ 3 / pygobject GUI mostly done
• Basic FTP connections and transfers working fine
• Bookmarks compatible with the old format

The missing parts:

• SSL/TLS connections (should be fairly simple)
• SSH/SFTP (will use paramiko, and hope for python 3 support soon)
• Some GUI improvements and cleanups

So.. when? I honestly don’t know. It all depends on available time and motivation, but I hope to get going on this again soon.

Any kind of help are appreciated!

Other news
Unless critical bugs are found, this will be the last release in the 0.3.x series. It will most likely also be the last version of based on C#, GTK# and Mono.

Work has started on on a brand new 0.4 release where much of the core design are rewritten. This work is currently being done in Python, using pygobject to target GTK+ 3.

The release/0.3 branch will remain accessible for anyone wanting to fork it and continue the Mono based version.

0.3.7 is here. It fixes several bugs reported since the 0.3.6 release, and adds a synchronized browse capability.

New features

Use this if you have a similar directory layout local and remote, and want to change directory simultaniously on the remote/local side as you browse your directories.

Bugs fixed

• #49 – (partly fixed) After disconnect still asking if user wants to disconnect

Just a few days after last release, the problem reports start to arrive. The gnome-keyring issues were apparently not solved 100% with the last release. Several different issues were reported from various distros.

This bugfix release will make hang in there and stay usable, even if GnomeKeyring communication fails. I guess it is a situation we’ll have to live with on some distros for a while, untill gnome-keyring-sharp is fixed upstream and rolled out on the distros. Keyring communications with gnome 2.30+ is reported to work on Ubuntu lucid and other distros using the gnome 2.30 compatibilty patch for gnome-keyring-sharp.

Upgrade is strongly recommended.

I want to thank Stefan Ebner and Michał Lisowski for valuable bug reports and testing leading to this release.

Bugs fixed

• #35: Unhandled exception when trying to use gnome keyring (better fix than in 0.3.3)
• #37: gnome-keyring problem (crash)
• #38: Can’t build without gnome-keyring
• Revert correctly to previous dir on failed local dir change
• Fixed possible problem when swithing keyring mode with no password file present

You can download 0.3.4 source from the download area. Packages for the various distros will follow.
