Panels could be shown vertically or horizontally;
panels could be different sizes, you can hide or show most
program windows (command line, keybar or menubar).

console without having to switch screens via an option in the layout
menu.
- New View modes:
Quick view: as you browse your files, each one is displayed on
the other panel on the idle time.
Tree view: let's you browse your directories by traveling a tree.
We have two traveling modes available. And the tree does
not take your precious time: it's build on the fly, as you
browse your disk (you can always loose your time if you
want to :-).
Info view: Gives you information on the currently select file and
the current file system as you move.
User view: Let's you define a directory listing and the format you
want to use.

User menu also has a new macro to let the user specify options.

Goto line command,
horizontal scrolling,
on the fly decompression (and we don't eat unneeded cycles of CPU),
allow non gunzip operation.
- Internal move command:

program is more robust and is much faster. Bunches of code come
from the GNU fileutils.

file names.
- Mask rename:
Now it's possible to do things like rename *.pas in *.bak

- Visual feedback while i-searching files.
- Much more intuitive, you have to use it.
- It's better than aspirin.

so the program will not eat all your memory, and will make a good use of
your memory.
- Now it also runs on hppa-hp-hpux9, hppa-hp-hpux7, m68k-apple-aux and
sparc-sun-netbsd1.0. The best platform to run it is Linux, of course,
since that's where most of us develop it.

- Nice progress status indicator.
We have two of them: a moving dash indicator and a progress bar
indicator for file operations.
