Thanks go out to all bug reporters, translators, developers and of course to the users of Gnome Commander!

Happy Commanding!

Please Note

Over the past few months, Gnome Commander has been ported from C++ to Rust by Andrey Kutejko. The release will be available in a few months. Until then, we encourage you to test the current status of this work and report any bugs through our GitLab page in the Issues section. Details how to build the sources and report any problems can be found in the README.md or on this homepage in the Development section. The Rust migration has been made in the main branch of our Git repository.

Bug fixes:

• Issue #201: Crash when trying to enter a directory where user doesn’t have permission

This new release fixes a minor issue which arises when you try to compile the sources with the googletest library version 1.17. Also, the updated Yelp ID is now used in our appdata file. Finally, one small update was done in the Swedish translation.

Thanks go out to all bug reporters, translators, developers and of course to the users of Gnome Commander!

This release is awesome because it contains the migration from Gtk-2 to Gtk-3. This great achivement would not have been possible without the work of Andrey Kutejko. Thank you very much for this!

This release focuses on modernizing the codebase, improving the user interface, and ensuring future compatibility with Gtk4 (Andrey already started with migration work for this), while also addressing bugs and enhancing internationalization support. Enjoy!

As always, a lot of translators contributed to Gnome Commander. Also, I want to thank everyone who reported issues on GitHub. This work is also very appreciated.

Thank you all for that!

In this release we are getting rid of autotools and replace them by the Meson build system. This will change the way how you build and install Gnome Commander from source code. If you install Gnome Commander through your Linux distribution software center, nothing will change, though.

A big shout-out goes to Roman Pauer who made a lot of changes under the hood of the program. With his help, Gnome Commander becomes a lot more stable again, since there have been some bugs related to the file transfer which sometimes crashed the program. Also, he brought back the internal search of Gnome Commander, which has been removed in version 1.14.0 because of some unsolved glitches.

A small improvement was also added by Dennis Gert Rebentrost, who added a menu button for only selecting files.

And as always, a lot of translators contributed to Gnome Commander. Thank you all for that!

New feature:

• New menu entry for (un)selecting only files (Thanks to Dennis Gert Rebentrost)
• Restored internal search after it was removed in version 1.14.0 (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Migrated build system from GNU autotools to Meson (see issue #117)

Bug fixes:

• Fix for showing wrong progress percentage when transfering files
• Get rid of several deprecated Gtk2 widgets (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Fixes for copy/move; Fixes for canceling copy/move operations (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Fixes for delete operation; Allow cancelling deletion of files; Fix for progress dialog (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Fix for creating directory with enabled Samba support (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Fix for disabling all plugins (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Fix for some errors on console (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Fix for changing the color scheme (Thanks to Roman Pauer)
• Disable beeping when reaching the end of the file list
• Various minor code improvements
