Call for SMB help! - Dec. 04 2006

Update Dec 08.

Problem solved!
Piotr has now closed bug 349631 for v1.2.1 and the work in the 1.2.2 release can continue as planned. Thanks to the feedback on this issue.

Unfortunately we have to delay the launch of the planned 1.2.2 release. There is still a very irritating bug concerning SMB networks, which we have a hard time to pinpoint, so we need some quality bugreports and feedback on this. Our bugzilla is now stormed by mostly ubuntu users reporting gcmd crash when SMB browsing. Any help will be very welcome, since we cannot reproduce this bug. Please contact us on gcmd-devel@nongnu.org (our developer mailing list info page) if you are experiencing this bug and want to help us with info to track this down.

Feedback++ - Mar 13 2003

We're getting close to v1.0 so make sure to report all problems with the 0.9.11 release to the mailinglist. A common problem if running RedHat8 or Mandrake8.2 is instabilities in the search-dialog. See section 6 in the README for info on how to deal with that.

0.9.11 Released - Mar 13 2003

Not so much big news this time but some annoying bugs were fixed

Highlights

Important 0.9.10 information - Feb 25 2003

If you have lots of ftp-servers stored in your ~/.gnome-commander/ftp-servers file you should make a backup of that file before upgrading, otherwise they will be lost since the format of that file has changed in this version.

Since the file is stored as text the motivated user should find it quite easy to convert to the new format in any text editor.

0.9.10 Released - Feb 24 2003

The 0.9.10 tarball is now available. Notice that Savannah has some bug in the file area that makes this release appear in the end of the list and not at the top. Here is a direct link.

Lots of user visible changes in this version:

Highlights

0.9.9 Released - Jan 19 2003

There are not so many new features in this version. On the other hand there are lots of improvements all over the program so the old features are now a lot more useable than they used to be.

Some highlights from the ChangeLog:

Bad directory name in 0.9.8 release - Jul 17 2002

If you downloaded the 0.9.8 release as source, you may have noticed that the directory name in the tarball was wrong. That has been fixed now, but there is no need to download again since the directory name is all that has been changed.

0.9.8 Released - Jul 16 2002

New things in this release are autoscroll at DND, better quicksearch, mounting and unmounting, file lists refresh without FAM, last visited directory history and more.

0.9.7 problems - Jun 7 2002

Many people seems to have had problems building the 0.9.7 release. If you are one of thoose you should try the new tarball at SF which solves some of the problems at least.
