gnome-commander-1.2.8.16 released

[Uwe Scholz <u scholz83 gmx de>]

GNOME Commander 1.2.8.16 is released, which fixes some bugs and will be
the last release before GNOME Commander 1.4.

What is GNOME Commander?
------------------------

GNOME Commander is a "two-pane" graphical file manager for the GNOME
desktop environment. GNOME Commander aims to fulfill the demands of more
advanced users who like to focus on file management, their work through
special applications and running smart commands.


What happened to the old maintainer of GNOME Commander?
--------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately the last maintainer, Piotr Eljasiak, passed away in the
beginning of 2012.

Piotr had many ideas about the future of GNOME Commander. Some of them
are already implemented and are waiting to be released in version 1.4.
other members of the GNOME Commander development mailing list and I by
myself are convinced that Piotr would like to see his work go on.

That's why I took over the project in December 2013. Please understand
this release message also as a call for volunteers in developing GNOME
Commander further, because help is very welcome. Look at the homepage
for more information:
