January 31st, 2001 - v1.0.2 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release fixes a couple of bugs, adds a couple of small features,
and includes lots of new/updated translations.

Additions:
- Drag (DnD) capabilities from files in the results window.
- Preferences option for prompting before executing a command on files
  selected in the results window.
- Lots of updated and new translations: Norwegian, Russian, Swedish,
  Dutch, German, Hungarian, Finnish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch,
  Japanese, Ukrainian, Spanish, and Slovak.
- For each path listed in the results dialog, use a pixmap to
  indicate if the path found is a file or directory.

Fixes:
- The -xtype option always got its selected type from the type
  specified in the -type menu, not its own -xtype menu.
- The default command for opening files from the results list now
  executes in the background.
- Disable the stupid GNOME crash dialog.  It only served to cause
  people to submit totally useless bug reports to bugs.gnome.org.


July 17th, 2000 - v1.0.1 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fix an embarassing RPM build problem in gnome-find.spec.[in]


July 15th, 2000 - v1.0 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixes since v0.6:
- The number of files found was reported as zero, regardless if there
  really were files found or not.
- Portability fixes.
- Updated Spanish translation.
- The RPM file did not contain the locale files (translations).


June 28th, 2000 - v0.6 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release fixes a handful of bugs, includes a number of
improvements, and now features an interface to the "locate" command.

Fixes:
- Some dialogs did not properly handle the close/delete signal sent by
  the window manager, which could lead to a crash.
- Portability fixes (using stpcpy(), GNU regexp, and FNM_CASEFOLD).
- argc was less by one for the "-ok" action, causing a tripped assert.

Improvements:
- File properties dialog is now contained in a notebook, instead of a
  new/separate window for each file.
- File properties dialog now also shows stats on symlinks as well as
  the file it points to, if any.
- If printing file details is selected (-wls), they are printed into a
  clist with separate columns for each file stat.  The list is
  sortable by clicking on the column title.
- The error window in the results dialog can be togged to be shown or
  hidden, instead of only being shown.
- For the "-ok" action, use a GNOME dialog to ask yes/no/cancel.

Additions:
- Interface to the "locate" command.


June 19th, 2000 - v0.5 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additions:
- Searching for filenames using regular expressions (-regex/-iregex).
- Handles "~" for home directories.
- Various user interface improvements in dialogs.
- File archiving commands on search results.
- Support for searching on specific file system types (-fstype).
- Tearoff menus.
- Searching for files containing a specific string of text.
- Manually entering and executing a search command.
- Preference settings for temporary directory and shell.
- Executing a specified shell command on search results.
- HTML documentation, GNOME help, and user manual.


June 5th, 2000 - v0.4 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release fixes a minor bug, and adds a number of new features.

Fix:
- If the advanced search button is selected, but no options actually
  are, a segmentation fault resulted.

Additions:
- Implemented support for the remaining advanced search options
  (-mode, -user, -group, -uid, -gid, -nouser, -nogroup, -size, -type,
  -xtype, -empty, -inu, and -links).
- German translation (Kai Lahmann).
- Korean translation (Kang JeongHee).
- New command line options, "--info", to print detailed info about the
  binary (e.g., compile/link info).
- (Optional) runtime debugging code, valid only if "--enable-debug"
  was specified when running configure.
- Preferences settings for all toolbars (e.g., icons only, text only,
  both); saving/restoring window sizes; and file operation commands to
  execute from the results window.
- Implement executing file operation commands from the results window
  (e.g., open, delete, copy, print, execute).


May 22nd, 2000 - v0.3 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release fixes a few bugs, and has some additional advanced search
options implemented:

Fixes:
- Small memory leak if gnome-find.glade is not found in the current,
  starting directory.
- The gnome-find.spec[.in] file actually builds the RPM file now.
- If printing file details to a window, the value of the files found
  number in the results dialog was always zero.
- Use common routines in code for advanced search options to reduce
  repeated code.
- Seg fault if "Clear Search" was done after either of the multi-file
  or multi-directory dialogs has been created, but not both.

Additions:
- Set the minimized window icon.
- Spanish translation (Joel Barrios).
- Russian translation (Valek Filippov).
- Implemented searching using boolean tests for atime, ctime, and
  mtime (-amin, -atime, -anewer, -cmin, -ctime, -cnewer, -mmin,
  -mtime, and -mnewer options).


May 15th, 2000 - v0.2 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release adds new features and implementation, including:

- Enabling the GNOME progress bar, so that progress indication is
  shown to the user while a long-running search is running.

- All of the "Options" and "Actions" for advanced searches.

- Multi-file and multi-directory searching.


May 09th, 2000 - v0.1 released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial release.

Unlike other 0.1 releases, gnome-find actually works, and has a clear
roadmap on what needs to be finished before a final 1.0 release.  See
the TODO file in the source distribution on what needs to be done.

This release features "basic" searching and multiple windows.  Future
releases will include incremental features for advanced search
options, file operations on files found in the search results, and
more.
