- This is a list of people that put their effort into making the 3.1
- release:
- Adam Tla/lka, Antonio Palama, Carl Thompson, Ching Hui, Dugan Porter, Gerd

- Ciarlante, John Davis, Marcelo Fabian Roccasalva, Perry Francis Nguyen,
- Sergey Ya Korshunoff Steven Hirsch, Thanh Ma and Torben Fjerdingstad.
- Version 3.0
- This has been finished:
- - Virtual File System: You now can browse tar, compressed tar and
- file systems over the network as if they were local subdirectories;
- - Slang support, you don't need ncurses anymore (but you can still compile
- with ncurses, if you want).
- - New mc.ext format, for details see the sample mc.ext file provided.
- - Append option if you try to copy/move a file onto already existing one.
- - Internal cd command uses CDPATH variable if set (like in BASH).
- - Find file command is much faster.
- - External panelize command - finding files using unlimited number of
- criteria - actually spawns an external command and it can be find, awk,
- grep -l or anything else.
- - Learn keys makes setting up of mc on terminals with broken
- terminfo/termcap databases easier. It just asks you to press keys which
- are not working.
- - Advanced chown command.
- - C-PgUp and C-PgDn takes you to the previous and currently selected
- directory respectively on the Linux console.
- - You can choose between 7 data bits, iso-latin-1 (0-127+160-255) or
- other (0-255).
- - Confirmation for overwriting, deleting and exiting added.
- - Viewer has growing buffers.
- - Filename, username, hostname and variable completion (M-Tab) on all
- input lines plus command completion on appropriate places of command
- line.
- - Following of symlinks at changing directory.
- - Viewer now supports bold faces and underlines, and it fits the
- information on the screen better. Now you can also specify the starting
- mode for the viewer depending on the contents of the viewed file.

- - Colors now let you specify the intensity of the colors you want.
- This is being worked on:
- - Virtual File System: FTP file system.

- up and running).
- Version 2.0
- Now users are able to define their own display
- - User defined display formats.
- Now you can configure the file display to suit your needs.
- For example, you can say which information you want to see displayed
- instead of our defaults.
- - User definable program layout.
- Panels could be shown vertically or horizontally;
- panels could be different sizes, you can hide or show most
- program windows (command line, keybar or menubar).
- - Output window.
- Now, it's possible to see part of the last program output on the Linux
- console without having to switch screens via an option in the layout
- menu.
- - New View modes:
- Quick view: as you browse your files, each one is displayed on
- the other panel on the idle time.
- Tree view: let's you browse your directories by traveling a tree.
- We have two traveling modes available. And the tree does
- not take your precious time: it's build on the fly, as you
- browse your disk (you can always loose your time if you
- want to :-).
- Info view: Gives you information on the currently select file and
- the current file system as you move.
- User view: Let's you define a directory listing and the format you
- want to use.
- - New subshell support (concurrent shell execution)
- The Midnight Commander will now spawn one copy of the shell, so you
- get better performance and you can use shell functions, define variables
- and execute complete shell commands. Supported shells: bash, zsh and
- tcsh. If your shell is not supported, then the old mode is still
- available.
- - Dialog box manager
- Almost all the new configuration options are configured with this
- new dialog manager, easy to use if you are familiar with dialog boxes
- in DOS and Windows.
- Available widgets: check buttons, buttons, radio buttons,
- input lines and list boxes (So you can take our code and use it on
- your applications).
- - New option configuration.
- Now the program options are configured with a dialog box.
- - Chmod and Chown commands:
- For changing permissions as well as ownership of files and
- directories, uses our new dialog manager.
- - Color customization support
- Now you can change the default color of the program with any of
- these:
- environment variable, Colors section in the init file (colors per
- terminal type) and command line.
- - User menu and extension enhancements:
- Execution understand the %t macro (tagged files).
- User menu also has a new macro to let the user specify options.
- You can hide and show entries in the user menus by using conditions.
- Auto detect best match depending on a regexp.
- - Viewer:
- Goto line command,
- horizontal scrolling,
- on the fly decompression (and we don't eat unneeded cycles of CPU),
- allow non gunzip operation.
- - Internal move command:
- Now, we don't rely anymore on system commands in /bin, so the
- program is more robust and is much faster. Bunches of code come
- from the GNU fileutils.
- - The Tree view and normal views allows wrapped incremental searches of
- file names.
- - Mask rename:
- Now it's possible to do things like rename *.pas in *.bak
- - Compare directories command

- On old Linux systems, only b&w is supported, on newer Linux systems
- (1.1.67 and newer), we also support color screen save/restore and
- cursor positions.
- - 8 bit clean support.
- - Visual feedback while i-searching files.
- - Much more intuitive, you have to use it.
- - It's better than aspirin.
- - New memory allocation debugger.
- During testing time, we used a powerful memory allocation debugger,
- so the program will not eat all your memory, and will make a good use of
- your memory.
- - Now it also runs on hppa-hp-hpux9, hppa-hp-hpux7, m68k-apple-aux and
- sparc-sun-netbsd1.0. The best platform to run it is Linux, of course,
- since that's where most of us develop it.

- - Nice progress status indicator.
- We have two of them: a moving dash indicator and a progress bar
- indicator for file operations.
