The VFS code can now be used by other applications (if you compile the
libvfs.a target and link against this).
Syntax has changes internally from the url-like syntax to a new syntax
that does not have ambiguities. A default conversor for the new syntax
will be provided in the future, also dealing with the user ~/.mc/ext files
is currently in a non-optimal state.
Keep an eye on this mailing list.

Now in wrap mode the End key and cursor up key behave much better
(e.g. when viewing binary files with lots of wrapped lines).
It's not perfekt but it's better than it used to be.

* gnome/gcmd.c (gnome_open_terminal): Changed my_system(1,...) to
my_system(EXECUTE_AS_SHELL,...)
Tue Apr 28 06:06:03 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
* vfs/extfs.c (extfs_open, extfs_close): Changed my_system(1,...)
to my_system(EXECUTE_AS_SHELL,...), this fixes the broken copyin and
copyout in 4.1.32.
Tue Apr 28 06:11:08 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
* view.c (toggle_wrap_mode, toggle_hex_mode): Force recalculation
of bottom_first (we mustn't use an already calculated and cached
value because it is invalid for the new mode and the End key would
not move to the end of the file).
* configure.in: Renamed the option `--with-our-slang' to
`--with-included-slang' (this one looks better because we also
have an `--with-included-gettext').
Make the option `--with-ext2undel' recognice a given path.
* cmd.c (view_file_at_line): In plain view (F13) set the default
magic flag to zero in order to view the file content unprocessed
(esp. don't uncompress files if they are compressed). The
view_simple_cmd got broken when the default magic flag in view.c
was changed from 0 to 1.
* view.c (do_view_init, goto_line): Set wrap mode temporary off
to make goto line number work, i.e. `line number' now always means
line number in file and not line number on screen (in wrap mode
one long line wrapped once is displayed in two lines on the screen).
That's important when the viewer is invoked from the find file
dialog to display even in wrap mode approxiamtly the part of the
file where we found the content we searched for.
(move_forward2): In wrap mode lines were sometimes counted wrong
causing cursor up to move more than one line.
(move_backward2): Fixed the movement in wrap mode.
(change_viewer): Always re-init viewer when we have a filename,
i. e. if the viewer is invoked with simple_view_cmd then we can switch
with the F8 key between unprocessed file content und uncompressed
file content.
(view_init): re-init view also when magic flag was altered
* slint.c: Applied the patch from Bill Nottingham <wen1@cec.wustl.edu>
to make it link against SLang >=1.0.
I reviewed the diffs to the part of SLang we use and there are no
further changes to MC necessary (one function's return value
changed it's meaning but we don't use this return value).
* configure.in: Undone the change which prevented linkage against
SLang >=1.0
* configure.in: Don't try to link MC against SLang >= 1.0. I will
remove this restriction when I'm sure that it's save to use the new
version (the documentation to SLang mentions some changes of
return values).
* configure.in: ALL_LINGUAS test added, to allow specify list
of languages to be installed by setting env variable before
configure. If it is empty, it defaults to full list.
* src/menu.h menu_entry.{hot_pos, is_dupped} dropped
* src/menu.c: consistency fixes: pull-down menu items are now
accessible either with arrow keys or with hotkeys, denoted with &
(and highlighted). (key combinations, placed to the right of items
intended to be used from outside the menus). Freeing menu entries
removed as it no longer needed
* src/main.c, edit/editmenu.c: menubar init code is changed to conform
above fixes.
* edit/edit.h: use of "Cancel" in error_dialogs replaced with
"Dismiss", to avoid collisions in translation of "Cancel" in other
places with this case.
* src/boxes.c: select_format() and it's support removed, as it is
obsoleted by input line history feature. display_init()/display_callback
fixed to suite i18n changes. sort_box() - alike.
* src/option.c: pause_options added &'s and gettext calls to expand
statically assigned values.
* src/widget.c: (radio_callback) hotkey recognition is changed to
&-notation, rather than simple uppercase.
* src/dlg.c: (dlg_try_hotkey) plain symbol comparison replaced with
call to isalpha(), this fixes errorneous exit from input line, when
button hotkey is 8-bit NLS char.
I have found the problem with all of those internationalization
problems that have been plagging us:
Using AM_whatever_GETTEXT Is not everything that is required:
we need to call this macro and the magic AC_LINK macro. This macro
creates a link in intl from libgettext.h to libintl.h. So, we should
be adding -I$builddir/intl and -L$builddir/lib options to the relevant
variables if USE_NLS is set to yes.
We need to propagate this to the gnome code.
Miguel.
