-We're working on the next Nautilus release right now.
-It will most-likely be called Nautilus 1.0.3.
+Nautilus 1.0.3 was released May 8. We have some speedups to do and
+some other small problems to fix, and then perhaps we'll release a
+Nautilus 1.0.4. We may also want to remove some Eazel-specific stuff
+that doesn't make sense any more.
-A lot of features have gone in since Nautilus 1.0.2. These include:
+[To some extent, we are "coding without a net" now, because we don't
+have a Tinderbox running any more.]
- - don't allow desktop icons to be under the Panel
- - cut, copy, and paste for moving or copying files (a la Windows)
- - notice changes to files made outside Nautilus using the FAM
- library if it's present
- - icon in title of Notes sidebar panel if the location has notes
- - Scripts menu to make it easy to run selected scripts on any
- file; a new way to extend Nautilus
- - a News sidebar panel that displays headlines from web sites
- that use the RSS format
-
- - tree view is faster, and also doesn't run at all unless it's
- opened, so it doesn't slow things down when you don't use it
- - improved rubber-banding speed (in smooth mode)
- - other small speed improvements
- - faster JPEG thumbnailing (contributed by Alexander Larsson)
-
- - ~/.gnome-desktop directory is now used for the desktop instead
- of ~/.nautilus/desktop. This change and others, done by Miguel,
- were in the Nautilus from Ximian's GNOME 1.4 packages, and his
- changes are now integrated into Nautilus 1.0.3.
- - more icons and descriptions for more types of removable media
- - xalf support in code that launches new programs; since there
- are still many small problems with xalf, this is only on if
- you set up a NAUTILUS_USE_XALF environment variable
- - added a "--no-desktop" option for the command line that makes
- desktop-related preferences disappear and prevents Nautilus
- from trying to manage the desktop -- good for running under KDE
-
- - Preferences menu now named "Preferences" instead of icon
- - preference to turn emacs keybindings on (for location field in
- the location bar, and elsewhere)
- - improved preferences for font and font size
- - global view preferences, including global default zoom level
- - preference to always sort folders first
- - preference to add a "Delete" command that bypasses the trash
- - icon caption setting moved into Preferences dialog
- - Nautilus Themes setting moved into Preferences dialog
- - support for HTTP proxies that require a user name and password
- - preference for maximum image size for thumbnailing (and upped
- default from 1 MB to 3 MB)
- - preference for experts who want to use their home directory for
- the desktop
-
- - add "View as" items to menu bar
- - put ellipses ("...") in the middle of file names, not the
- start (or end)
- - made copy progress dialog hang around for a second even if
- the copy is faster than 1 second
- - list menu emblem column has a title and is after the file
- name column
- - select folder or file you came from when you do Up command
- - sort tree view more like how we sort other views
- - draw tree view icons smoothly when smooth mode is on
- - less flicker in tree view display
- - add a way to go to a specific location even when the location
- bar is hidden that doubles as a way to set the keyboard focus
- to the location in the location bar
- - improved look of help on sidebar by using icons instead of
- using slanted text
- - new implementation of audio preview that is faster and better
- - improved Open command, including a keyboard shortcut for the
- Open in New Window command
- - show target path in properties window for symlinks
- - updated dragging code to use the same kind of slightly
- broken URLs that gmc produces, which makes it compatible
- with programs that previously worked with gmc and not Nautilus
- - handle drags of URLs onto the desktop by making Nautilus links
-
- - nautilus code broken out into librsvg, eel, and trilobite
-
-and others.
-
-Also, a *ton* of bug fixes and internal improvements have been done
-that I won't try to list here (see ChangeLog).
+We won't be porting Nautilus to GNOME 2 until the library freeze date
+(at the request of the library developers, Michael Meeks mainly) so
+this is still a GNOME 1 source tree for now.
