NEWS: Summary of changes in kcd =============================== Changes in Version 7.14.0 from 7.13.1 (Dec 5, 2007) - New stable release from 7.13.1 branch. No other changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.13.1 from 7.13.0 (Oct 13, 2007) - Fix various configure problems and compilation warnings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.13.0 from 7.11.0 (Jun 16, 2007) - Fix compilation problem with later GCC 4.0.x, 4.1. (With some changes from Andreas Bernauer.) - New configuration commands: MountDir and ClearMountDir. The `MountDir' command supports directory scanning when kcd is invoked. This is suitable for removable drive mounting points. Ex: MountDir = "/mnt/cdrom", All The above command treat `/mnt/cdrom' as a mounted directory. `All' is the action taken for this directory. Scanning for subdirectories inside `/mnt/cdrom' is always performed regardless whether you specify the search string in the command line or not. Other action supported: Tree Scan only when search string is not supplied. Skip Skip scanning. - New configuration command: ShowNewDir The `ShowNewDir' controls whether the new directory kcd changed to is displayed on the screen. Possible values: Yes, No, Multi (means only displayed when multiple matches exist). The default behavior is Multi. Example: with the default behavior for the "kcd sbin" is not displaying the destination directory if only one directory matches the string "sbin". Setting `ShowNewDir' to `Yes' always displays the destination directory. - Symbolic links in SkipDir and MountDir are handled correctly. - Directories containing `..', such as those found in configuration commands, are not reduced since it could produce error when symlink is present in the path. - New `-M' option to disable MountDir scanning. - `-t' and `-tr' support relative path. - Correct error message produced by `-t' and `-tr' when cannot find specified directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.11.0 from 7.9.0 (Jan 1, 2005) - New command line search mode via `/' and `//' special symbols: Ex: kcd usr/bin Search directory containing `bin' such that its immediate parent directory contains `usr'. Matches `/usr/bin', and `/usr/sbin'. kcd usr//bin Search directory containing `bin' such that any of its parent directories contains `usr'. Matches `/usr/bin', `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/sbin', and `/usr/local/sbin', `/usr/X11R6/bin', etc. This feature is available when `regex' library is present in the system. - Find mode supports `/' and `//' special symbols when the key binding mode is not `vi'. - The `-b' option supports `/' and `//' special symbols. - Add option `--profiles' to display all configuration profiles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.9.0 from 7.7.0 (Dec 6, 2004) - Mouse double click and triple click now treated as multiple single clicks. - Repeat mouse scrolling when holded. - New configuration command: MouseScrollRate. - Support key binding in editbox in Find mode (experimental). - Typing any alphanumeric (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) key in emacs key binding mode also start forward searching. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.7.0 from 7.6.1 (Aug 2, 2004) - GlobPath and GlobDot can be specified at the end of SkipDir command. - Regular expression supported using r"..." syntax in SkipDir, ClearStartDir, ClearSkipDir. `regex' library is required for this feature. - Generate message during packaging time instead of build time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.6.1 from 7.6.0 (Mar 29, 2004) - Fix Makefile problem on system without msgfmt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.6.0 from 7.5.0 (Mar 27, 2004) - Fix fnmatch compilation problem found in some systems with Apache installed. - Reorganization of README documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.5.0 from 7.3.0 (Sep 6, 2003) - Due to changes in internal handling of command line, `-p' option, if used, must be the first option in the command line. - Add option `-tr' that rescan before partial tree display. - `-t' and `-tr' now works even when the desired tree is not in the saved directory tree file. - Add DefaultTree configuration command. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.3.0 from 7.1.0 (Aug 2, 2003) - Add support to specify a particular matched directory using number. - `-T' option for full tree display is added (currently not useful. The mechanism to display partial tree by default is still not yet determined). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.1.0 from 7.0.0 (Jul 20, 2003) - `-t' option for partial tree display is added. - When symlink points to outside tree, target directory is used as jump destination instead of the symlink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 7.0.0 from 6.13.0 (Jul 7, 2003) - Minor tweak in error message when bookmarked directory is not found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.13.0 from 6.11.0 (May 29, 2003) - Fix a bug when bookmark file is not found. - Fix Ctrl-C processing bug in find mode. - Fix mouse handling bug in configure script. - Accept mouse release and triple-click events. - `-bx' option is removed. - kcd-inst works when user information is not in `passwd' file. - kcd-inst now detects ksh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.11.0 from 6.9.0 (Apr 25, 2003) - Fuzzy directory searching (Contributed by Robert Sandilands). - Fix directory display bug when directory contains control characters. - Improve handling of symbolic links that point outside saved tree. - Add vi and emacs key binding mode. - Fix handling of escape sequences in StartDir/SkipDir configuration. - New configuration commands: FuzzySize, KeyBinding. - Terminal processing of Ctrl-S, Ctrl-Q as stop/continue key is turned off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.4.2 from 6.4.1 (Apr 13, 2003) - Fix directory display bug when directory contains control characters. - Display new directory in case of multiple match. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.9.0 from 6.7.1 (Apr 7, 2003) - Fix bookmark matching. - Prevent adding duplicate directory in bookmark. - Display new directory in case of multiple match. - The option `-bx' now issue a warning about deprecation since now the bookmark information is stored in `~/.kcd.bookmark.*'. It will be removed in the next kcd release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.7.1 from 6.7.0 (Feb 27, 2003) - Fix a segmentation fault during directory display. - Fix a bug in configure script where stream I/O for string class is not properly detected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.7.0 from 6.5.3 (Feb 23, 2003) - Bookmark information is completely removed from directory tree file. Now kcd relies on `~/.kcd.bookmark.*' for bookmark information. So there is no longer loss of bookmarks problem. Bookmark feature also works faster now. - Fix a bug in configure script where the mouse support status is not properly displayed. - Support GCC 3.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.5.3 from 6.5.2 (Jan 18, 2003) - Fix directory jump bug when the current directory also matches the search string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.5.2 from 6.5.1 (Dec 6, 2002) - Add -bx option. All user of 6.5.0 and 6.5.1 who uses bookmark feature should run `kcd -bx' once after installation. This will prevent loss of bookmarks in certain cases such as full rescan, or upgrading to kcd that uses a different directory tree file format. - KCD_BOOKMARK environment variable is introduced for suid kcd applications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.5.1 from 6.5.0 (Nov 11, 2002) - Improve kcd-inst script to update KCD_INIT variable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.4.1 from 6.4.0 (Nov 11, 2002) - Improve kcd-inst script to update KCD_INIT variable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.5.0 from 6.4.0 (Nov 9, 2002) - New directory tree file format. kcd will rescan automatically at the first run. - Add bookmark feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.4.0 from 6.3.0 (Nov 3, 2002) - Fix a directory file reading/writing bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.3.0 from 6.1.1 (Oct 18, 2002) - Add configuration profile. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.1.1 from 6.1.0 (Sep 15, 2002) - Fix new exception specification portability issues. - Fix autoconf 2.53 test problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.1.0 from 6.0.0 (Sep 11, 2002) - Update to autoconf 2.53. - Update to gettext 0.11.3. - Fix default function argument related compilation problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 6.0.0 from 5.13.0 (Jun 2, 2002) - Improve ncurses bool workaround logic. - Various portability fixes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.13.0 from 5.11.0 (May 10, 2002) - Fix '+' display bug. - Implement combining character input in Find mode. - --disable-mouse option added to configure. - Display ^F status. - Fix i18n message generation bug. - Fix portability problems on Solaris 8. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.11.0 from 5.9.0 (May 6, 2002) - Fix symlink jumping bug. - Fix page down bug on some systems. - Improve scanning speed on system supporting d_type. - Improve highlight moving logic. - Rewrite Unicode support to work with combining characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.9.0 from 5.7.0 (May 3, 2002) - Shell startup files are no longer modified during make install or make installuser. - User-specific installation mode removed.

If configure detect FHS directory structure, the following are changes to kcd behavior - Man page is installed in /usr/share/man/en/man1 or /opt/.../share/man/en/man1. - kcd looks for the global configuration file kcd.conf in /etc or /etc/opt/... - kcd only now looks for kcd.conf in SYSCONFDIR instead of /etc, /usr/etc and /usr/local/etc. (based on the changes in FreeBSD port of kcd by FreeBSD people.) - Fix header portability. (based on the changes in FreeBSD port of kcd by FreeBSD people.) - Reorganize INSTALL documentation. - Modify ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc and ~/.zshrc instead of ~/.profile, ~/.login and ~/.zprofile during user-specific installation. In case user's login shell is ash, ~/.profile is still modified. - New kcd-inst program that modify ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc, ~/.zshrc or ~/.profile after installation. This is useful for system-wide installation. - Support GCC 3.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.0.3 from 5.0.2 (May 6, 2001) - Support GCC 3.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.5.1 (Oct 8, 2000) - Fix control key processing in find edit box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.5.0 (Sep 15, 2000) - Bad StartDir, SkipDir commands no longer terminate kcd via internal error message. - UTF-8 support status in --features now reports compile time status. - Various code reorganization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.3.3 (Sep 8, 2000) - Various RPM spec file enhancements from Max Heijndijk. - RPM, SRPM now contains locale support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.3.2 (Sep 8, 2000) - Bug fix - problem locating locale directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.3.1 (Sep 7, 2000) - Bug fix - en_GB.po message file was incorrectly named. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.3.0 from 5.1.2 (Sep 7, 2000) - Option --enable-wide-chars and --with-included-gettext really work now. - Smart scan now works properly when StartDir in the configuration changes. - Security checks support for sudo, suid uses. - Some code reorganization. - Bug fix - information in directory list screen is not displayed. - Bug fix - junk characters may appear before the first directory in the directory tree window. - Bug fix - some 5 bytes multibyte sequence is not correctly decoded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.1.3 (Aug 28, 2000) - Update for autodep 1.1.3. - Rename configure option --enable-wide-char to --enable-wide-chars to match xterm. - Can build on system without msgfmt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.1.2 (Aug 27, 2000) - Update for CVS version of autoconf (autoconf 2.49a). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.1.1 (Aug 22, 2000) - Fix problems with --with-included-gettext. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 5.1.0 from 5.0.0 (Aug 20, 2000) - Fix a bug that can cause infinite loop. - Check environment locale. - Speedup command of the form `kcd dir' where the number of directories that matches `dir' is no more than ShowListThreshold.

Now kcd does as if there is no StartDir commands. - Fix a bug when duplicate directories are given to SkipDir using old-style syntax. - Fix error report when root directory are given to SkipDir using old-style syntax. - Better up/down key navigation - When there are multiple directories directly above/below the current directory, the one with more overlap extent is chosen rather than the first one found. - Pressing up/down in find mode do not center the match directory if it is visible on the screen before searching. - Directory that no longer exists are automatically skipped when find using command line. - Improved system-wide installation process: - Support installation into its own new directories (such as /package/kcd). - The directory containing kcd programs is automatically added to the PATH environment variable if it is not there. - If /etc/profile.d exists, kcd alias/function initialization scripts are installed into /etc/profile.d. This avoids modifying /etc/profile, /etc/csh.login and /etc/zprofile. - Works with parallel build. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.13 (Aug 5, 2000) - Works on IA-64 platform. - Update email and home page address in documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.11 (Sep 5, 1999) - Update for zlib 1.0.6 and newer. - Make constant member data static. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.10 (Feb 13, 1999) - Update for Redhat 5.2 which uses an ncurses pre-5.0 snapshot. - Update for autoconf 2.13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.9 (Feb 23, 1998) - Change the default behavior of scroll bar. It is on for ncurses version >= 4.2. - For system-wide installation, also modify /etc/zprofile if it exists. - For user-specific installation, also modify ~/.zprofile if the login shell is zsh. - Use gzip -f when compressing man page during `make install'. - Fix various documentation (README, kcd.1) errors. - End each C++ source file by a new line (as in C++ standard). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.8 (Jan 21, 1998) - Changed symbolic links are now updated when scanned in smart mode. - kcd now does not scan inside symbolic links given in `StartDir'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.7 (Jan 19, 1998) - During configure, test if the ncurses library really has mouse functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.6 (Nov 23, 1997) - Fix a bug in configure script that always pick libncurses.a rather than libncurses.so when --with-static-ncurses is not given. - Changes to reflex the string library in libstdc++ found in egcs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.5 (Nov 3, 1997) - New configure option --with-static-ncurses. Using this option solves some kcd compilation problems related to old shared ncurses libraries. The default ncurses installation process only builds and installs static libraries, leaving shared libraries from the old ncurses lying around. - Fix a small bug. kcd fails to cycle through all matched directory if current directory is matched to the search string and is the last directory in the tree. - Fix a bug in configure script. operator delete test returns value when it shouldn't. - Fix Makefile.in, not all dependency was listed there. - Use libc/glibc strcasecmp and strncasecmp functions when they are available. - `make install' will install compressed version of kcd.1 if prefix/man/man1/*.gz exists. - `using namespace std;' supported. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.7.0 (Aug 10, 1997) - Symbolic links are shown using different color. - ClearStartDir, ClearSkipDir commands now accept directory name as the parameters. - Mouse support (experimental - just mouse click, no mouse drag yet). - New configuration command - `GraphicChar' determining whether PC line graphic chars or simple '-', '+', '|' chars are used. - More strict test of .kcd.save.gz. This prevents kcd from segmentation fault when reading file created by previous versions of kcd which was compiled with different sizeof(mode_t) (caused when upgrading libc 5 to glibc 2). - Better control on scroll bars - they are hidden if not needed. - Pan left/right of highlight that is wider than screen enabled via `,' and `.' keys. - New configuration command - `ScrollBar' to enable scroll bar display. By default, scroll bars are hidden. This will be changed in later versions once a new version of ncurses is released. ncurses 4.1 and earlier version have a bug that causes the vertical scroll bar to flicker heavily during scrolling. - Improved configure script - several C++ features are tested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.5.1 (Jul 23, 1997) - Remove various messages printed during directory scanning since they are intended only for debugging purpose. - Fix a segmentation fault when exiting kcd. - Program freezes when saved directory tree contains circular symbolic link fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.5.0 from 4.0.1 (Jul 22, 1997) - Support symbolic link. - Automate dependency checks in Makefile. (A Perl script, autodep, is provided at ftp://kcd.sourceforge.net/pub/kcd/infrastructure/ to rebuild them.) - Automate version number, release date and file sizes info in README, CHANGES, kcd-?.?.?.lsm, kcd.1 and kcdmain.cc during packaging. - Improve configure and Makefile to support srcdir option. Object and output files are properly placed in the desired directory. - `-' used to ignore error when installing man page. - Various hardcoded limits removed, such as max. configuration columns. - When unrecognized command is found in configuration file, kcd now aborts immediately. - When the line that causes error in configuration is printed, any control characters present will be shown as `.'. - Source files *.cpp renamed to *.cc. - Various fixes in comments in the header of *.h, *.cc. - New screen layout. - Detect window size and refuse to continue if window too small. - Works with all directory with special chars under bash-2.0. - Add scroll bars. - Highlighted directory is shown on the bottom bar. - Better Up/Down arrow key navigation. - Support symbolic link selection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.0.2 from 4.0.1 (Aug 5, 1997) - New configuration command - `GraphicChar' determining whether PC line graphic chars or simple '-', '+', '|' chars are used. - More strict test of .kcd.save.gz. This prevents kcd from segmentation fault when reading file created by previous versions of kcd which was compiled with different sizeof(mode_t) (caused when upgrading libc 5 to glibc 2). - Bugs in PgUp, PgDn response fixed. - kcd is now compiled and linked using `g++' instead of `gcc'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.0.1 (Mar 14, 1997) - Compiles even when resizeterm is not found. Window resize under xterm/rxvt is disabled in this case. Improved configure script - Check for the present of local ncurses, zlib in ../lib before the global one. - Separate library test and header test for ncurses and zlib. - Display error when --bindir, --exec-prefix option is specified. Makefile - `make clean' and `make distclean' now remove buffer.o - Add `config.h' to list of dependent file. New kcd options, --features and --helpinst ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 4.0.0 (Mar 7, 1997) - New style syntax in configuration file. Spaces are allowed inside commands but double quotes ("...") are required to enclose directory names. For example: (earlier versions) SkipDir=/cdrom (new syntax) SkipDir = "/cdrom" - kcd now understands ~ and ~username specified in configuration file. - User will have to press Enter if any error is found in configuration file. - The line that causes error in configuration is printed. - Directory tree are sorted (case-insensitive) by default. - All error reports use mixed case for config name, for example, `skipdir' now becomes `SkipDir'. - New configuration command - `ClearSkipDir', `ClearStartDir', `SortTree', `SpaceSelect', `StartDir', `CaseSensitiveSort', `QuietSmartScan'. - kcd version number in the directory tree screen reflects the version of kcd running - not the kcd that creates the directory tree file. - New file format. kcd is forced to rescan automatically at the first run. The new format is no longer HTML-based, so do NOT use khyper (came with earlier versions of kcd) to view .kcd.save.gz - Directory scanning can be terminated (except at the moment kcd is writing data file which is immediately after finish scanning and before time spent is displayed) without losing earlier saved data. - Configuration files are read when kcd displays directory tree and changes directory as well (although the loading message is not explicitly shown). - kcd automatically redraw the screen when the window is resized (under xterm). The new ncurses-4.0 library is required to support this feature. - In find mode (directory tree view), PgUp and PgDn behave like up and down arrows respectively. - The way comment is handled in configuration is read changed - `#' inside double quotes (such as SkipDir="...") are treated as part of directory name, not as comment. - Use configure script (autoconf-2.12) - kcd.sh.init, kcd.csh.init are automatically configured to the installing directory. - By default, kcd will be installed in /usr/local/bin for all new installations and in /usr/bin for upgrading from earlier versions. However, this behavior can be overridden by configure --prefix=PREFIX (where PREFIX is /usr if you want to install in /usr/bin). - New kcdmain options: -ias, -ics, -ifs to support installation in directories other than /usr/bin . - Generated binary (`kcdmain') are not stripped - To strip the symbol table, type make strip - Makefile: - -I$(includedir) (which is /usr/include) removed. - -L$(libdir) (which is /usr/lib) removed. - Dependent files are .h instead of .o . - Use install instead of cp. - Use configure. - New `strip', `clean' and `distclean' targets - Smart scan mode implemented - almost twice as fast as the original (now called full scan) mode. (49 secs VS 91 secs on my system, both are tested immediately after system reboot.) - New option `-rf' to force full scan mode - needed when you modify config (SortTree, ...). - File listing moved from README to FILELIST . - Makefile.userinst: - Program restructure. - Fix error message dir. name from kcd to $HOME/kcd-bin . - Change -e to -f since -e is nonstandard. - Use install program supplied by configure. - kcd.csh.userinit - change $HOME to $home . - Test with directories with odd names such as `$HOME', `<', etc. Most works fine except single quotes `'' and ``'. Others are shell dependent. bash (version prior 2.0) may display directory containing `$' incorrectly at the prompt although the directory change by kcd succeed. - New `\' quoting support for configuration values inside "...". The character following `\' is treat as ordinary character. `\', `'', `"' and ``' must be quoted as `\\', `\'', `\"' and `\`' respectively. Directory name containing `?', `*', `{' and `}' must also be quoted (for future features). - If the number directories that matches to the name given in the command line exceeds a specified number, kcd displays the whole list. - Pressing Backspace or Del when the search string is empty exit find mode in directory tree window. - Replace `~' with `$HOME' in Makefile.userinst2 - Add a man page kcd.1 It is mostly similar to README with - no `kcd Basics', `System Requirements', ... sections. - different description for shell alias/function options to fit standard man page format. - Current working directory is automatically added to the directory tree window if it is not in the saved tree. They are shown with `[*]'. The new directory is, however, not saved to the file. As a result of this change, kcd no longer generates the `kcd: cannot find ' error message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes in Version 3.1.0 (Jan 13, 1997) khyper removed from this package. Fix editbox.cpp, editbox.h file permissions (previously executable). In find mode, control keys are no longer added into the search string. kcdscr passes more than one parameter to kcdmain so that help message is shown when too many parameters are given. Use our own version of strncase(...) - more portable. Fix kcd.sh.userinit and kcd.csh.userinit, now path is correctly set to ~/kcd-bin instead of ~/kcd.

You can now jump directly to the desired directory by the using the following syntax to invoke kcd: kcd New -ia, -ic and -if option, for 'kcd' alias or function installation. Use eval `kcdmain -ic` for C shell-style syntax or eval `kcdmain -ia` for shells that support alias or eval `kcdmain -if` for shells that support functions. More error checking.
