Scripting: Fix possible crash when calling a lambda function after the
context that created it has ended.
EG a function returns a map that has function reference values set and the
caller then calls the functions stored in the map.
Also fix a valgrind warning about use of an uninitialised variable in the
tokenizer |

File Commander/2 v. 2.40 (3/3/2010, Brian Havard) | Readme/What's new |
New in File Commander/2 v2.40
=============================
New Features
o Support includes in user menu files.
o Syntax highlighting in the viewer.
o Viewer and editor support for Unicode text files.
o Support for 7zip archives.
o Support for bzip2 files.
o File Information display (Ctrl-I) shows complete file metadata.
o Ctrl-Shift-E to eject removable media & Ctrl-Shift-L to load.
Minor Enhancements
o Change the search match highlight colour in the viewer from "Menu Bar"
to "Highlight" which is consistent with the editor and more sensible.
o Preserve the case of environment variable names.
Case insensitive matching is now Unicode based so will work with all
languages.
o Allow re-sorting of File Find results before search has finished.
o Use a separate thread to update the file copy progress box to reduce
flicker and improve copy speed.
o Editor: line length limit of 64kB removed.
o Added new syntax highlighting directive, "statechange" which allows
more flexible state transitions.
o Added includes in syntax defintion file.
o Add support for Unicode file names in RAR archives.
o TAR file support improvements
- Fix checksum calculation when there are bytes in the header >127.
- Interpret file names as UTF-8.
o Added field in File Find to specify the code page used when searching
files for the "Containing" string.
o Copy/Move: Add ability to specify overwrite mode in the initial dialog so
that you don't have to wait for the first collision to occur.
o Add !lf operator to provide a list of tagged files with their full path.
o Add !tf (tagged file with full path).
o Add ability to remove an entry from command history with Delete key.
o Syntax Highlighter: Add /w flag for syntax states of "word scope" to
assist with LISP keywords.
o Syntax Highlighter: Enable word characters to be redefined for each
state.
Bug Fixes
o User Menu: Make menu item hot key work if specified in lower case in
the mnu file. This used to work in 2.20 but was broken while adding
support for sub-menus.
o Fix display of hex view when code page translation is active. Was
"translating" the vertical bar separators.
o Fix file copy ETA overflowing copy progress dialog & causing screen
corruption when a huge file copy starts off slowly.
o In Change Case, mixed mode should not capitalise the character after an
apostrophe.
o In viewer, fix background colour of line continuation markers (right
arrow at the end of a line that's longer than the window when unwrapped).
o Multi-file search/replace confirmation prompt, extend box width if
necessary to fit the text values and don't overflow box if text still
won't fit.
o Fix !F when opposite panel is showing an archive's contents.
o Fix !t behaviour in archives. |
