Hi,

I'm delighted to announce the availability of the new mc-4.8.16! This
is
a maintenance release that includes a large number of bugfixes and a
few
minor new features.

Amongst the most user-visible changes, we have improved on the
usability
(hopefully!) of the "Find File" dialog: the unsymmetrical "Search for
content" checkbox is now gone; instead, leave the field empty and
notice
how related checkboxes will be automatically deactivated. To remind
you,
Ctrl+w clears the editboxes and Meta+h triggers the history drop-
down,
these are very handy shortcuts to make the most out of the new
dialog.

For a detailed list of changes since the last version, please refer
to
the release notes.

Release notes: http://www.midnight-commander.org/wiki/NEWS-4.8.16

This release was made possible thanks to the heroic work of Andrew
Borodin, a steady stream of fixes by Andreas Mohr, and contributions
from Mooffie of our friendly Lua-enabled fork fame (check it out!).

Finally, I would like to thank everybody who has contributed to this
release, including our dedicated translators, and to remind you that
we
are still very much underpowered to carefully review and integrate
patches in a timely manner, process bug reports and generally improve
on
our code base.

Enjoy!

Hi Yuri, all.

First, thanks to all of you for that release.

I’ve updated « my » packages on OpenSuSe Build Service to 4.8.16
for the following distros:

CentOS and Scientific Linux 6 i586 and x86_64.
CentOS and Scientific Linux 7 x86_64.
Fedora 20, 21, 22, i586 and x86_64.

I’ve used official tar.xz package, and mc was built with the
following options:
--with-screen=slang \
--enable-charset \
--without-x \
--with-gpm-mouse \
--disable-rpath \
--enable-vfs-smb \
--enable-vfs-sftp \
--enable-aspell \
--enable-vfs-mcfs

You can get packages here:

mc/mc




:) Thanks. I needed a CentOS 6 x_64 package but don't have a suitable 
build environment for it. I'll have to bookmark your collection.


One thing - the link in your message is wrong. I found what I was 
looking for here:

Annoying bug in FISH, could you please patch your packages?

2016-03-14 Thread Yury V. Zaytsev

Hi folks,

It would be very kind of you, if you could include the following patch in 
your mc-4.8.16 packages before the shit really hits the fan:


http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3611

Unfortunately, while trying to fix another bug in FISH (#3599), a new bug 
has been introduced (#3611) as we've failed to check whether the Perl 
version of the ls helper is still working correctly after accepting the 
new changes to it :-/


Many thanks!

Sounds like you still have GCC 4.5 or even earlier (surprising, given 
that you're running Arch). It is known to spew tons of false-positive 
unreachable code warnings. We test with GCC 4.6 and later on Travis, 
and it reports no errors.
Hm. Now that you mention, I have 3.4.1 here. Newest is 5.3.0. I still 
have good old 2.96 on my other box. Maybe I'll upgrade...  :) Thanks for 
noticing, I thought this one was a bit funny.





The find dialog looks good, simpler can always be better. The find 
dialog results box still needs that title-content patch.


Hmmm... let's see what we can do about this one.

It's a simple patch and could involved a smidgen of cleanup. The funcs 
should pass arguments and not use that global.


If I have more than 1 find dialog open, this patch shows which is doing 
what, otherwise it's a guess what they were looking for, or have to 
repeat the search. I get interrupted a lot. Phone, kids, you know...


Thanks again for the under-appreciated hard work.

Happy spring.
