[Piotr Eljasiak]

Hi folks,

We are getting closer to 1.2.0 release :o). Here comes the status of the
works on GNOME Commander:

Bug fixes:
 * Fixed problem #171051 (crashes on search with non-existent path)
 * Fixed problem with the lack of gnome menu entry
 * Fixed a crash when viewing SMB connections
 * Fixed problem #309877 (strange artifacts with horizontal scrolling)
 * Fixed problem #332258 (left/right start directory parameter)
 * Fixed problem #336649 (permission numbers presentation)
 
New features:
 * Monitoring of mounted volumes. 
 * Reworked internal viewer plus new features:
 * External tools and EXIF/IPTC tags viewer
 * Zooming for internal viewer
 * Text selection for internal viewer
 * Revamped toolbar layout
 * Options for controlling copy and move overwriting
 * Copying selected full file paths with SHIFT+click on toolbar button
 * Better handling change of the column sorting key
 * Initial doc framework
 * New or updated translations: es, eu, hu, pl, sl
 * New key bindings:
      SHIFT+F3       Internal viewer
      ALT+F3         External viewer
      ALT+Letter(s)  Quick search
      CTRL+SHIFT+A   Deselecting all files


There are still a few things that I'd like to have cleared out before rollout:

        1. Documentation still not working (this IS a must)
        2. Bugs #332261 (exec_prefix not properly parsed during 
configure/makefiles) and #332517 (copying takes up 100% CPU usage)
        3. Simplifying device toolbar - one set of buttons instead of current 
two (this one is not critical, unfortunately requires moving internally plenty 
of code ;o)
        4. Translations (IMHO we should update our native languages)
        

I plan to release 1.2.0 till mid April.
