* * * CLEX Revision History * * *
4.6.patch8 released on 05-MAY-2018
Problems fixed:
* Some typos were corrected. Thanks to Tobias Frost
for sending a patch.
New or improved functionality:
* The 'configure' script was modified so that CLEX compiles
without warnings with recent gcc and glibc versions.
4.6.patch7 released on 23-JUN-2017
Problems fixed:
* Non-ASCII - but printable - Unicode characters are now
allowed in the xterm window title.
* A backtick character inside of double quotes is now
properly quoted.
* Attempts to insert an Alt-key combination into the
editing line (i.e. Ctrl-V Alt-X) invoked the function
bound to that Alt-key combination. This is now fixed.
New or improved functionality:
* Mouse clicks on the top (bottom) frame scroll the panel
one page up (down) respectively. Panel filter control
with a mouse was removed in order not to interfere with
the new page down function.
* The file rename function does not replace spaces
with underscores.
* The Unicode non-breaking space (NBSP) is marked as a special
character. Shells do not treat this character as a separator.
Commands containing NBSP written by mistake usually fail
and the error is not easy to find.
* User and group names up to 16 characters are displayed
without truncating in the file panel. (The limit was
9 characters)
* User names are never truncated in the user panel.
* The RPM spec file is now included in the source code
tarball. Previously this file has to be downloaded
separately or built from a provided template. This extra
step is now unnecessary and an RPM package can be built
simply with: rpmbuild -tb clex.X.Y.Z.tar.gz
4.6.patch6 released on 31-AUG-2013
Problems fixed:
* Several wide character buffer sizes were computed in
incorrect units. No buffer overflows were actually
occurring, but such code is not usable if compiled with
protection against overflows, e.g. with gcc and
FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. Problem noted and a fix proposed by
Rudolf Polzer.
* A bug in the file I/O error reporting code of the
directory compare function was found by Rudolf Polzer.
New or improved functionality:
* New setting in the sort panel: hidden files can be
excluded from the file list.
4.6.patch5 released on 19-JUL-2011
Problems fixed:
* Some keys did not work in the log panel's filter.
4.6.4 released on 21-MAY-2011
Problems fixed:
* Name completion did not expand a single tilde as a home
directory.
* A mouseclick on a certain screen area of the help panel
could lead to a crash.
New or improved functionality:
* The English documentation was proofread and corrected,
the service was kindly contributed by Richard Harris.
* Text file preview function was added.
* The initial working directory for the secondary file
panel is now set by a bookmark named DIR2. This
replaces the configuration parameter DIR2.
* The initial working directory for the primary file
panel can be now set by a bookmark named DIR1.
* New configuration parameter TIME_DATE controls the
display of date and time.
* Changes to the mouse control were made.
* The recommendation against using alt-R for normal file
renaming was dropped.
4.5 released on 24-SEP-2009
Problems fixed:
* Name completion could not complete user and group names
containing a dot, comma or a dash character.
New or improved functionality:
* A mouse is supported on xterm-compatible terminals.
* The location of configuration files has been moved
again in order to comply with the XDG Specification.
The standard place for these files is from now on the
~/.config/clex directory. Use the 'cfg-clex' utility to
move the files to the new location.
* There is a new option in the completion panel which
allows completion of a name which is a part of a longer
word. The option has a self-explaining description:
'name to be completed starts at the cursor position'.
* Configuration parameter C_PANEL_SIZE (completion panel
size) cannot be set to AUTO (screen size) because this
size is often uncomfortably small.
* The Unicode soft hyphen character is displayed as a
control character.
* In the history panel a command separator is
automatically inserted into the input line when a
command is appended to the end of another command.
* Configuration parameters CMD_Fn accept a new control
sequence $~ which disables the 'Press enter to
continue' prompt. The control is returned to CLEX
immediately after the command execution terminates
provided that:
* the command has not been modified; and
* the command terminates successfully (exit code
zero).
* The $! control sequence can appear anywhere in a
configuration parameter CMD_Fn, not only at the end.
* New function: alt-Z places the current line to the
center of the panel. People using cluster-ssh might
find it useful.
4.4 released on 07-APR-2009
Problems fixed:
* In the help text there were few Unicode characters which
are now eliminated because they could not be displayed
properly in non-Unicode encodings.
New or improved functionality:
* New function was added: change into a subdirectory
showing the contents in the other file panel (alt-X).
This function allows a return into the original
directory simply by switching panels (ctrl-X).
4.3 released on 29-MAR-2009
Problems fixed:
* A newly added bookmark did not appear on the screen
immediately.
* A misleading message 'Ignoring the DIR2 configuration
parameter' was logged when the 'DIR2' was set to
'HOME'.
New or improved functionality:
* The bookmark organizer has been merged with the regular
bookmark panel.
* Bookmarks can have descriptive names.
* The current working directory can be bookmarked from
the file panel (ctrl-D).
* The 'B_PANEL_SIZE' config parameter was removed.
4.2 released on 15-MAR-2009
Problems fixed:
* In some cases the 'cfg-clex' utility was generating an
unusable template for the copy command (F5).
* Under certain circumstances a crash was occurring on
exit when CLEX was used over a ssh connection.
New or improved functionality:
* All configuration files now reside in the .clex
subdirectory. Use the 'cfg-clex' utility to move the
files to new location.
4.1 released on 09-FEB-2009
Problems fixed:
* Usage of uninitialized memory during the start-up has
been corrected. It caused a crash on the Apple Mac OS X
platform. Systems where CLEX starts normally are not
affected by this bug.
* A compilation problem on Apple Mac OS X was fixed.
* The xterm title change feature did not work on remote
telnet or ssh connections.
New or improved functionality:
* If a directory comparison is restricted to regular
files, then only information about this type of file is
displayed in the summary.
* A small program named 'kbd-test' was added. It is a
utility for troubleshooting keyboard related problems.
CLEX 4.0 released on 22-DEC-2008
This is the initial release of the CLEX 4 branch. Main new
features are:
* Unicode support was implemented.
* Several configuration parameters have been converted to options
which are saved automatically.
* The log panel and optional logging to a file for auditing and
troubleshooting were added.
* There is now 'cfg-clex' utility.
* A built-in function for renaming files with invalid or
unprintable characters was added.
Enhancements (compared to previous releases) include:
* Configuring prompt, time format and date format is more flexible.
* The help is not limited to one link per line.
* The user interface of the directory compare function was redesigned.
* Changes in the pattern matching routine were made
* Panel filtering is now available in two more panels.
* A new tool for inserting control characters into the input line
was added.
