[edscott wilson garcia]

Merry Christmas!

Rodent core-rc2 (aka xffm-4.9.2) is now released. This release is only
available as source tarball. As soon as tests have completed on different
platforms and final bug reports closed, this will become the 5.0 release.
This release is a major milestone release with the following details:

1. Compatible with systems from gtk+2.24 to gtk+3.6 (3.x is preferred).
2. New threading paradigm in place (which is now the recommended method for
gtk+3.4). This new thread control structure allows for quicker response and
several race condition fixes.
4. Full OFM  keybind customization with included xml editor for easy access
from the  settings dialog (thanks to Liviu Andronic and Harold Ailing for
the suggestions).
5- Case insensitive sort option on selective basis (popup menu toggle).
6- Process signalling popup menu in process taskbar ---little run buttons
in bottom right corner--- (thanks to plmday for the suggestion).
7- User configurable toolbar in unused space left by tab labels (cool).
8- Added go forward functionality.
9- Full options now available for GNU cp (original code by Torbjörn
Granlund, David MacKenzie, and Jim Meyering).
10- Full options now available for GNU mv (original code by Mike Parker,
David MacKenzie, and Jim Meyering).
11- Full options now available for GNU ln (original code by Mike Parker and
David MacKenzie).
12- Full options now available for GNU rm (original code by Paul Rubin,
David MacKenzie, Richard M. Stallman, and Jim Meyering).
13- Full options now available for GNU shred (original code by Colin Plumb).
14- Memory leak bugfixes.
15- New rodent-lite. This application may now plugins and modules on user
request via settings dialog (rodent loads all available modules and
plugins). The default configuration for rodent-lite is small and fast.
Probably faster than Rox on a multicore box.

For a full account of changes, do a "svn log --verbose -r 6002:6224"
