Thunar 0.5.0 and libexo 0.3.1.12 rc2 releases

I just released Thunar-0.5.0rc2 and libexo-0.3.1.12rc2 as part of Xfce 4.4RC2, which will be released in a few hours. The separate tarballs are provided for users of Xfce 4.2.x that don't want to upgrade yet, and users of other desktop environments. It is planned to be the last release candidate before the final release, so please help with testing so we can locate and elimate the leftover bugs for the final release.

Xfld 0.3 release

Unfortunately I have the flu and so I'm somewhat late with posting old news here... Anyway, Xfld 0.3 is finally available for download. This time it's based on Xubuntu. And as usual it is the perfect LiveCD for nearly every use case. ;-)

The separate tarballs are provided for users of Xfce 4.2.x that don't want to upgrade yet, and users of other desktop environments.

New features in Thunar 0.4.0rc1

About a month ago Thunar 0.3.2beta2 was released as part of Xfce. Much has happened since that time, and we're nearly ready for the first release candidate of Xfce 4.4.0 now, which should be available in two or three weeks. So, it's time to sit down and check what we have in the pipe for Thunar 0.4.0rc1.

Trash, Bugs, Wasted Time

So, the trash framework finally made its way into Xfce SVN. Still a bit rough around the edges, but that's mostly cosmetic fixes.

Trash is back

Because this feature was requested quite often, and it somewhat makes sense for a file manager, I'll add trash support (based on the trash specification) for the next release (most probably RC1).

Thunar 0.3.2 and libexo 0.3.1.8 beta2 releases

I just released Thunar-0.3.2beta2 and libexo-0.3.1.2beta2 as part of Xfce 4.4BETA2, which will be released tomorrow. Separate tarballs are provided for users of Xfce 4.2.x that don't want to upgrade yet, and users of other desktop environments. As suggested by the name, it is still a beta release and it is thereby considered to be more or less stable in what it does, but it is not yet a final version.
