Various fixes (see git log)
version 0.6.36 (snapshot released 2008-06-01) |
FreePascal port almost finished, some minor functionality is still missing on some archs (x86_64: CRC32/MD5 checking, limited number of threads). FreePascal is now considered as mainline compiler, minimal required version is 2.2.0. Kylix compatibility is still maintained.
Note: Due to INI files incompatibility between Borland RTL and FreePascal RTL, the profile names are case sensitive for FPC build
Revised memory management, now uses glibc functions
Search dialog: fixed two bugs when searching for text in files (case sensitivity, exclude directories)
Open directory is now threaded (local and VFS)
Fixed some threading race conditions
Added ability to run, view or edit files directly from archives (by extracting to a temporary directory). Upload of modified files back to archive is not supported.
Fix: Set focus back to the panel when last tab is closed

ZIP plugin: ZipArchive library version updated to 3.2.0
ZIP plugin: new internal tree storage object, big speed improvement
New UNRAR plugin, based on the original unrar sources

Some people reported random freezes when launching applications/commands. I don't know what causes it, probably some incompatibilities between various glibc versions (2.3.3-preXXX). It is suggested to turn on the experimental option "Use libc system() for executing programs" in the Preferences dialog
