+NEWS for kupfer
+===============
+
+kupfer's hastening insanity
+---------------------------
+
+Not Released Yet
+
+* Changes to the interface
+
+  + Add a small menu button on the window for explicit access to
+    context actions, preferences window, and help.
+  + Increase icon size to 128px
+  + Always show description field
+  + Use an undecorated window with rounded corners
+  + Let the frame be slightly transparent if supported
+  + Themable colors and properties by using GTK+ styling, see
+    ``Documentation/GTKTheming.rst``, and the plugin *Custom Theme* that
+    shows how to use custom styles.
+
+* Add context action "Set X as default action for object Y"
+
+  + For example, you can make *Launch Again* default for Terminal, and our
+    default configuration uses this setting for two common terminals (GNOME
+    and XFCE).
+
+* Updated Kupfer's technical documentation (in ``Documentation/``),
+  including the Plugin API reference.
+
+* Implement a preedit widget for input methods, also resolving
+  the incompatibility with ibus (David Schneider) (:lp:`696727`)
+
+* Re-implement launching of applications
+
+* Allow the user to configure which terminal program is used.
+  Applies to all of *Run in Terminal*, *Open Terminal Here*, for .desktop
+  files that specify ``Terminal=true`` etc.
+
+* Implement an "alternatives" mechanism so that plugins can
+  register mutually exclusive alternatives. Currently implemented
+  are Terminals (see above) and Icon Renderers.
+
+* *Thunar*: Use Thunar 1.2's Copy and Move API.
+
+    + These allow copying and moving anything through thunar,
+      and it will show progress dialogs for longer transactions.
+
+* Add *Ascii & Unicode Icon Set* for fun
+
+* Add simple plugin *Quick Image Viewer* to show images in a simple way.
+
+* Add *Send Keys* plugin that can send synthetic keyboard events,
+  and prominently can be used for the *Paste to Foreground Window*
+  action on text. Requires ``xautomation`` package. (:lp:`621453`)
+
+* *Volumes:* treat mounts as regular folders, so they can be targets for
+  file operations.
+
+* *File Actions:* the action *Move to Trash* switches home to the *Trash*
+  plugin, the archive actions go to new *Archive Manager* plugin. *Archive
+  Manager* also updated to recognize more archive file types, including
+  ``.xz``.
+
+* Activate current selection on double-click in the interface.
+  (:lp:`700948`)
+
+* Update the preferences window and move the folder configuration to the
+  Catalog tab.
+
+* Add ``initialize_plugin`` to the plugin interface.
+
+* The D-Bus interface has been extended with X screen and timestamp-aware
+  versions of all methods:
+
+  + ``PresentOnDisplay``, ``PutFilesOnDisplay``, ``PutTextOnDisplay``,
+    ``ExecuteFileOnDisplay``  all act like their similarly-named
+    predecessors, but take ``$DISPLAY`` and ``$DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID`` as their
+    last two arguments.
+
+  + ``kupfer-exec`` activation sends the event timestamp so that focus can
+    be carried along correctly even when running ``.kfcom`` files (if
+    activated as an application by startup-notification-aware launchers,
+    this works with most standard desktop components).
+
+* Internally, change how actions are carried out by allowing the
+  action execution context object to be passed down the execution chain
+  instead of being a global resource. This also allows plugins to cleanly
+  access current environment (event timestamp, current screen etc).
+
+  + Support running kupfer on multiple X screens (:lp:`614796`), use
+    the command ``kupfer --relay`` on each additional screen for global
+    keyboard shortcut support.
+
+* The *Tracker 0.8* plugin supports version 0.8 and 0.10 alike. Because of
+  that and the expected compatibility with one version after this too, it's
+  now called *Tracker*.
+
+* The *Favorites* plugin lists *Kupfer Help* and *Kupfer Preferences* by
+  default (for new users), so that it's not empty and those items are ranked
+  higher.
+ 
+* Localization updates:
+
+  + ..
+
+
+kupfer v204
+-----------
+
+Released Friday, 18 March 2011
+
+* Expand and improve upon `Kupfer's User Documentation`__.
+* Use and require **Waf 1.6**, which supports building using either Python 3
+  or Python 2.6+. Kupfer itself still uses Python 2.6+ only.
+* Add *Gwibber* plugin that allows integration with Twitter, Identi.ca, Buzz
+  etc. (Karol BÄ?dkowski)
+* Add chat client *Empathy* plugin (Jakh Daven)
+* Remove the plugin *Twitter* since it is incompatible and has no updated
+  implementation.
+* Add *Show QRCode* plugin by Thomas Renard (:lp:`611162`)
+* Periodically save data from plugins so it's not lost if Kupfer can't exit
+  cleanly at logout
+* *Commands*: Add actions *Pass to Command*, *Filter through Command*, *Send
+  to Command* which add a lot of shell script-related power to Kupfer.
+  These actions, and *Run (Get Output)* as well, use a shell so
+  that you can run shell pipelines.
+* *Search the Web*: Fix bug in OpenSearch parser (:lp:`682476`)
+* *VirtualBox*: Support vboxapi4 (Karol BÄ?dkowski)
+* *Thunderbird*: Fix problems in the mork parser (Karol BÄ?dkowski)
+  (:lp:`694314`)
+* *OpenOffice*: Support LibreOffice too (Karol BÄ?dkowski)
+* Fix "Y2011 bug" where the time parameter overflowed INT32 in keybinder
+* *Shorten Links*: Use only services with stable API, added and removed
+  services.
+* *Google Search*, *Google Translate* and ``bit.ly`` in *Shorten Links* can
+  use SSL for transport if a third-party plugin is installed.
+* Fix bug if evolution address book is missing (Luca Falavigna)
+  (:lp:`691305`)
+* Fix *Search the Web* to use localized ``firefox-addons`` subdirectories
+  for search engines (:lp:`735083`)
+* Fix bug with integer division (Francesco Marella)
+* *APT:* Workaround bug with ``subprocess`` (:lp:`711136`)
+* Find cover art files just like Rhythmbox (William Friesen) (:lp:`676433`)
+* Use ``readlink`` in ``kupfer-exec`` script too since ``realpath`` is not
+  always available.
+* Allow plugins to use update notifications (William Friesen)
+* Bug :lp:`494237` is hopefully fixed once and for all.
+* The *Large Type* action will work with anything that has
+  ``TextRepresentation``

+  (Karol)

+
+  + New Simplified Chinese localization (lh)
+  + New Dutch localization (Martin Koelewijn)
+  + New Portuguese localization (Carlos Pais)

+
+
+kupfer version c16
+------------------
+
+Released 5 October 2009
+
+* Translation to German (Thibaud Roth)
+* Polish translation updated (Maciej Kwiatkowski)
+* Add search engine descriptions from ``firefox-addons`` (Francesco Marella)
+* Speed up directory browsing by using much less system calls
+* Improve documentation and put it together into a `Manual`.
+* Generate man page from reStructuredText document `Quickstart`.
+* Evaluate valid actions (per object) lazily to save work.
+* Add accelerators *Ctrl+Q* (select quit) and *Alt+A* (activate)
+* Parse even horribly wrong search engine descriptions (Bug reported by
+  Martin Koelewijn)
+
+
+kupfer version c15
+------------------
+
+* Translation to Polish by Maciej Kwiatkowski
+* Speed up the string ranker tremendously; 3x faster in common cases.
+* All objects now have an alias in the basic latin alphabet (if possible) so
+  that, for example, query `wylacz` matches item *WyÅ?Ä?cz*.
+* Show notification icon by default
+* Read XML with cElementTree (Faster.)
+* Read Firefox 3's bookmarks (Python2.5 requires `cjson` module)
+* New Plugin: Image Tools, with action *Scale...* and JPEG rotation actions
+  (*Scale* requires ImageMagick (`convert`), JPEG actions `jpegtran` and
+  `jhead`)
+* Basic support for a Magic Keybinding: summon kupfer with current selection
+
+kupfer version c14.1
+--------------------
+
+* Fix two bugs with new browisng mode (soft reset for text mode, backspace or
+  left to erase a subcatalog search)
+
+kupfer version c14
+------------------
+
+* Rewrite and improve browsing mode:
+
+  * Browsing the catalog or folders is much improved; it is easier to keep the
+    overview and be oriented.
+  * Returning to kupfer after having performed an action, the old object is
+    still available, but without locking the catalog to its location.
+    When spawning kupfer again, the previous context is available if you
+    immediately browse; if you search, you search the whole catalog.
+  * The search times out after 2 seconds if no key is typed. Now the highlight

+kupfer version c9.1
+-------------------
+
+* User interface consistency and behaviour improvements. UI is simpler and
+  better.
+* Other improvements.
+
+This release is localized in: Swedish (100%), Italian (60%)
+
+kupfer version c9
+-----------------
+
+The "c9" release
+
+* Search and browse perform better
+* The interface is now modal. In command mode we can bind special keys to
+  new functions. Type period `.` to enter free-text mode (just like in QS).
+* Pressing kupfer's keybinding again will hide the window.
+* Other smaller improvements
+
+This release is localized in: Swedish (100%), Italian (60%)
+
+kupfer version c8

+
+[Please file bug reports and feature requests.][lp]. Read the files in

+
+kupfer version c7
+-----------------
+
+The "choice" release
+
+This is a followup with some small changes after the c6 release, which
+introduced lots of major changes, including a preferences window and
+"application content."
+
+* Allow wnck to be optional. Kupfer needs wnck to do application matching
+  and focusing of already running applications, but can now run without it if
+  wnck is not available. Window List plugin also needs wnck
+* Rhythmbox plugin should not crash even if library is not found, now kupfer
+  can run even if rhythmbox's files are not there.
+* Applications will match names as well as the executables, so that "gedit"
+  matches Text Editor regardless of what the displayed localized name is.
+
+
+[Please file bug reports and feature requests.][lp]. Read the files in
+`Documentation/` and see how you can add new plugins with object and

+
+kupfer version c6
+-----------------
+
+The "Sisyphus incremental improvements" release
+
+* Preferences window
+  
+  * Allows setting keybinding on the fly
+  * List and enable/disable plugins and set plugin options
+
+* Everything was improved slightly, but steadily
+* Understands more applications, provides more files and objects,
+  and actions with **new plugins:** *Rhythmbox, Abiword, Clipboards, Dictionary,
+  Favorites, Selected Text, Wikipedia*
+* Connect applications with their related object sources and make it their
+  content, such as Rhythmbox music for the Rhythmbox application.
+
+  * Applications contain their recently used documents, if
+    available.
+  * Firefox and Epiphany bookmarks are identified with each application
+
+* Miscellaneous improvements:
+
+  * Kupfer object icon ("blue box")
+  * *Some* default application associations are installed (others
+    are learned by launching applications).
+  * Experimental UI with two-line title+description in browse mode
+  * Thumbnails for files and albums in browse mode
+  * Allow sending files and queries to kupfer from the commandline
+    using `kupfer 'query'` or `kupfer docs/file.pdf`.
+  * Even more plugins listen to change callbacks or filesystem monitors
+    to be up to date to the instant.
+  * Do not display nonexisting files as results
+  * Fine-tune how sources are loaded and refreshed on load
+
+This release deserves lots of testing. [File bug reports and feature
+requests.][bug] Read the files in `Documentation/` and see how you can add
+new plugins with object and application knowledge to kupfer.
+
+This release is localized in: Swedish (100%), Italian (60%)
+

+
+kupfer version c5
+-----------------
+
+The "Beauty from the inside, part 1" release
+
+* Big refactorings of the whole data model
+
+  * Move all of the data model to kupfer.data
+  * Allow actions with indirect objects "threepane kupfer" (with
+    means to configure which objects to use for an action etc)
+  * Uses unicode internally, instead of UTF-8-encoded strings
+
+* Some new actions using new possibilities (Open with any, Move file
+  to new location, Add/Remove tracker tags) but more is possible.
+* Basic manual page included
+* Fileactions plugin includes unpack archive/create archive
+* Ship extra and demonstration plugins in contrib/ and interals
+  documentation in Documentation/
+* Change learning algorithm to recognize an item's type as well
+  (so that two objects named "project" can be ranked differently)
+* Small fixes (alphabethic sorting for applications, sources, check
+  if objects still exist after an action, ``rank_adjust`` default actions
+  slightly)
+
+This release deserves lots of testing. File bug reports and feature
+requests. Read the files in Documentation/ and see how you can add
+new plugins with object and application knowledge to kupfer.
+
+This release is localized in: Swedish (100%), Italian (80%)

-NEWS for kupfer
-===============
-
-kupfer's hastening insanity
----------------------------
-
-Not Released Yet
-
-* Changes to the interface
-
-  + Add a small menu button on the window for explicit access to
-    context actions, preferences window, and help.
-  + Increase icon size to 128px
-  + Always show description field
-  + Use an undecorated window with rounded corners
-  + Let the frame be slightly transparent if supported
-  + Themable colors and properties by using GTK+ styling, see
-    ``Documentation/GTKTheming.rst``, and the plugin *Custom Theme* that
-    shows how to use custom styles.
-
-* Add context action "Set X as default action for object Y"
-
-  + For example, you can make *Launch Again* default for Terminal, and our
-    default configuration uses this setting for two common terminals (GNOME
-    and XFCE).
-
-* Updated Kupfer's technical documentation (in ``Documentation/``),
-  including the Plugin API reference.
-
-* Implement a preedit widget for input methods, also resolving
-  the incompatibility with ibus (David Schneider) (:lp:`696727`)
-
-* Re-implement launching of applications
-
-* Allow the user to configure which terminal program is used.
-  Applies to all of *Run in Terminal*, *Open Terminal Here*, for .desktop
-  files that specify ``Terminal=true`` etc.
-
-* Implement an "alternatives" mechanism so that plugins can
-  register mutually exclusive alternatives. Currently implemented
-  are Terminals (see above) and Icon Renderers.
-
-* *Thunar*: Use Thunar 1.2's Copy and Move API.
-
-    + These allow copying and moving anything through thunar,
-      and it will show progress dialogs for longer transactions.
-
-* Add *Ascii & Unicode Icon Set* for fun
-
-* Add simple plugin *Quick Image Viewer* to show images in a simple way.
-
-* Add *Send Keys* plugin that can send synthetic keyboard events,
-  and prominently can be used for the *Paste to Foreground Window*
-  action on text. Requires ``xautomation`` package. (:lp:`621453`)
-
-* *Volumes:* treat mounts as regular folders, so they can be targets for
-  file operations.
-
-* *File Actions:* the action *Move to Trash* switches home to the *Trash*
-  plugin, the archive actions go to new *Archive Manager* plugin. *Archive
-  Manager* also updated to recognize more archive file types, including
-  ``.xz``.
-
-* Activate current selection on double-click in the interface.
-  (:lp:`700948`)
-
-* Update the preferences window and move the folder configuration to the
-  Catalog tab.
-
-* Add ``initialize_plugin`` to the plugin interface.
-
-* The D-Bus interface has been extended with X screen and timestamp-aware
-  versions of all methods:
-
-  + ``PresentOnDisplay``, ``PutFilesOnDisplay``, ``PutTextOnDisplay``,
-    ``ExecuteFileOnDisplay``  all act like their similarly-named
-    predecessors, but take ``$DISPLAY`` and ``$DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID`` as their
-    last two arguments.
-
-  + ``kupfer-exec`` activation sends the event timestamp so that focus can
-    be carried along correctly even when running ``.kfcom`` files (if
-    activated as an application by startup-notification-aware launchers,
-    this works with most standard desktop components).
-
-* Internally, change how actions are carried out by allowing the
-  action execution context object to be passed down the execution chain
-  instead of being a global resource. This also allows plugins to cleanly
-  access current environment (event timestamp, current screen etc).
-
-  + Support running kupfer on multiple X screens (:lp:`614796`), use
-    the command ``kupfer --relay`` on each additional screen for global
-    keyboard shortcut support.
-
-* The *Tracker 0.8* plugin supports version 0.8 and 0.10 alike. Because of
-  that and the expected compatibility with one version after this too, it's
-  now called *Tracker*.
-
-* The *Favorites* plugin lists *Kupfer Help* and *Kupfer Preferences* by
-  default (for new users), so that it's not empty and those items are ranked
-  higher.
- 
-* Localization updates:
-

-kupfer v204
------------
-
-Released Friday, 18 March 2011
-
-* Expand and improve upon `Kupfer's User Documentation`__.

-  cleanly at logout

-* *Shorten Links*: Use only services with stable API, added and removed
-  services.

-  use SSL for transport if a third-party plugin is installed.
-* Fix bug if evolution address book is missing (Luca Falavigna)
-  (:lp:`691305`)
-* Fix *Search the Web* to use localized ``firefox-addons`` subdirectories
-  for search engines (:lp:`735083`)

-* *APT:* Workaround bug with ``subprocess`` (:lp:`711136`)
-* Find cover art files just like Rhythmbox (William Friesen) (:lp:`676433`)
-* Use ``readlink`` in ``kupfer-exec`` script too since ``realpath`` is not
-  always available.
-* Allow plugins to use update notifications (William Friesen)
-* Bug :lp:`494237` is hopefully fixed once and for all.
-* The *Large Type* action will work with anything that has
-  ``TextRepresentation``

-
-kupfer version c15
-------------------
-
-* Translation to Polish by Maciej Kwiatkowski
-* Speed up the string ranker tremendously; 3x faster in common cases.
-* All objects now have an alias in the basic latin alphabet (if possible) so
-  that, for example, query `wylacz` matches item *WyÅ?Ä?cz*.
-* Show notification icon by default
-* Read XML with cElementTree (Faster.)
-* Read Firefox 3's bookmarks (Python2.5 requires `cjson` module)
-* New Plugin: Image Tools, with action *Scale...* and JPEG rotation actions

-  `jhead`)
-* Basic support for a Magic Keybinding: summon kupfer with current selection
-
-kupfer version c14.1
---------------------
-
-* Fix two bugs with new browisng mode (soft reset for text mode, backspace or
-  left to erase a subcatalog search)
-
-kupfer version c14
-------------------
-
-* Rewrite and improve browsing mode:
-
-  * Browsing the catalog or folders is much improved; it is easier to keep the
-    overview and be oriented.
-  * Returning to kupfer after having performed an action, the old object is
-    still available, but without locking the catalog to its location.
-    When spawning kupfer again, the previous context is available if you
-    immediately browse; if you search, you search the whole catalog.
-  * The search times out after 2 seconds if no key is typed. Now the highlight
-    text will fade to show this.
-
-* Add accelerators `Ctrl+G` and `Ctrl+T` to get current selection in nautilus
-  and currently selected text (if available).

-kupfer version c7
------------------
-
-The "choice" release
-
-This is a followup with some small changes after the c6 release, which
-introduced lots of major changes, including a preferences window and
-"application content."
-
-* Allow wnck to be optional. Kupfer needs wnck to do application matching
-  and focusing of already running applications, but can now run without it if
-  wnck is not available. Window List plugin also needs wnck
-* Rhythmbox plugin should not crash even if library is not found, now kupfer
-  can run even if rhythmbox's files are not there.
-* Applications will match names as well as the executables, so that "gedit"
-  matches Text Editor regardless of what the displayed localized name is.

-
-* Everything was improved slightly, but steadily
-* Understands more applications, provides more files and objects,
-  and actions with **new plugins:** *Rhythmbox, Abiword, Clipboards, Dictionary,
-  Favorites, Selected Text, Wikipedia*
-* Connect applications with their related object sources and make it their
-  content, such as Rhythmbox music for the Rhythmbox application.
-
-  * Applications contain their recently used documents, if
-    available.
-  * Firefox and Epiphany bookmarks are identified with each application
-
-* Miscellaneous improvements:

-    are learned by launching applications).

-  * Thumbnails for files and albums in browse mode

-    using `kupfer 'query'` or `kupfer docs/file.pdf`.
-  * Even more plugins listen to change callbacks or filesystem monitors
-    to be up to date to the instant.
-  * Do not display nonexisting files as results
-  * Fine-tune how sources are loaded and refreshed on load
-
-This release deserves lots of testing. [File bug reports and feature
-requests.][bug] Read the files in `Documentation/` and see how you can add
-new plugins with object and application knowledge to kupfer.
-
-This release is localized in: Swedish (100%), Italian (60%)
-
-Future: part 2 of beautification is refactoring of the interface, so
-that the UI can be modularized and exchanged in plugins.
