Nautilus-Actions 3.1.0 is out

[Pierre Wieser <pwieser trychlos org>]

Hi everybody,

We are so pleased to announce the latest 3.1.0 version of Nautilus-Actions.
This is (supposed to be) a stable release.

What is it ?

    Nautilus-Actions is an extension for Nautilus file manager which
    allows to add arbitrary items to Nautilus context menus and to the
    menu bar.

What is new in this release ?

    The first goal of Nautilus-Actions 3.1.0 is to migrate menus, actions
    and user preferences from GConf.

    Compiling with GConf is now only required when we have menus, actions
    or user preferences to migrate to the new system. New users may just
    get ride of it.

    Packagers and sysadmins should really read the README-GCONF file.

    General modifications:

        - Migrate menus, actions (resp. user preferences) from GConf to
          .desktop files (resp. keyed files). Please read README-GCNF.
        - nautilus-actions-schemas in renamed as na-print-schemas and
          installed in PKGLIBEXECDIR.
        - Two new executables na-delete-xmltree and na-gconf2keys.sh are
          also installed in PKGLIBEXECDIR.
        - New user preferences are installed respectively as
          SYSCONFDIR/xdg/nautilus-actions/nautilus-actions.conf and
          ~/.config/nautilus-actions/nautilus-actions.conf.
        - Implement a new icon chooser, which lets the user select a 
          themed icon or an icon by path.
        - Preferences dialog is now reopened on the last used tab.
        - Define a new NATimeout public structure.
        - Add --enable-gconf configure option, defaulting to "auto".
        - Add --enable-deprecated configure option, defaulting to "no".
        - nautilus-actions-new now implements all available properties.
        - Currently running desktop environment is not detected at 
          runtime when not specified as a user preference.
        - Plugin menu can now be debugged from a user preference.
        - Implements ExecutionMode (in a terminal, display output).
        - Disable not yet implemented fields in NACT.

    Internal modifications:

        - Lot of code rewriting:
          . define all GConf writing functions as deprecated;
          . NactIActionsList interface is moved to NactTreeView class
            plus NactTreeIEditable interface;
          . user preferences are managed via a NASettings singleton;
          . BaseApplication and BaseWindow;
          . NactMenubar: new convenience class;
          . fully deprecate NAIPivotConsumer interface;
          . NactSortButtons: new convenience class;
          . NADataBoxed now derives from new NABoxed class;
          . modification stack;
          . validity stack;
          . writability stack;

    Bug fixes:

        - Fix various mistakes and mispellings reported by Fr translation
          team.
        - Fix #640216: string errors reported by Christian Kirbach.
        - Fix #640920: string errors reported by Christian Kirbach.
        - Fix case insensitive comparison reported by Johan Spee.
        - No more try to convert all/allfiles to something else.

    New and updated translations:

        - cs (Marek Cernocky)
        - de (Mario Blättermann, Christian Kirbach) 
        - es (Jorge González)
        - fr (Bruno Brouard)
        - nb (Kjartan Maraas)
        - sl (Matej Urbančič, Andrej Žnidaršič) 

    Please note that due to the renaming of some parameters, actions
    or menus created / updated with the versions 2.99.0 and later may
    not be fully compatible with Nautilus-Actions 2.30.x and earlier.
