Other news
Unless critical bugs are found, this will be the last release in the 0.3.x series. It will most likely also be the last version of bareFTP based on C#, GTK# and Mono.

Work has started on on a brand new 0.4 release where much of the core design are rewritten. This work is currently being done in Python, using pygobject to target GTK+ 3.

The release/0.3 branch will remain accessible for anyone wanting to fork it and continue the Mono based version.

bareFTP 0.3.8 has been released. It is mainly a bugfix release without any exciting news.

Bugs fixed

• #56 – Error conecting to domains with spanish characters (ñ, á, é, etc.) containing accent
• #54 – Refresh breaks sync browsing

Other changes

• Wider input entries in main window (for hostname, username etc.)
• A new combobox for remote charset selection

bareFTP 0.3.7 is here. It fixes several bugs reported since the 0.3.6 release, and adds a synchronized browse capability.

New features
Synchronized browsing (#45). A new “Tools” menu item as been added, and “Synchronized browsing” is so far the one and only tool in the menu. Use this if you have a similar directory layout local and remote, and want bareFTP to change directory simultaniously on the remote/local side as you browse your directories.

Bugs fixed

• #51 – BareFTP throw exception when dragging file from a folder containing accent
• #49 – (partly fixed) After disconnect still asking if user wants to disconnect
• #48 – Bookmark doesn’t remember locations
• #47 – Creating a new folder on FTP server results in exception
• #46 – ESC will not cancel transfer in File Operations
• #53 – (partly fixed)BareFTP crashed renaming file
• …and a few smaller issues..

The bareFTP source code has moved from subversion to git, and is now hosted at gitorious.org.

This also enables translators to submit their translations directly to the repository from transifex

This just a quick bugfix release. It fixes a couple of typos in some build scripts that may cause build problems and wrong library path for the ssh support library.

The rest is basicly the same as 0.3.5. See the release notes for 0.3.5.

bareFTP 0.3.5 is now released. This release contains a number of small bugfixes, some performance enhancements and better translation coverage.

Bugs fixed

Just a few days after last release, the problem reports start to arrive. The gnome-keyring issues were apparently not solved 100% with the last release. Several different issues were reported from various distros.

This bugfix release will make bareFTP hang in there and stay usable, even if GnomeKeyring communication fails. I guess it is a situation we’ll have to live with on some distros for a while, untill gnome-keyring-sharp is fixed upstream and rolled out on the distros. Keyring communications with gnome 2.30+ is reported to work on Ubuntu lucid and other distros using the gnome 2.30 compatibilty patch for gnome-keyring-sharp.

Upgrade is strongly recommended.

I want to thank Stefan Ebner and Michał Lisowski for valuable bug reports and testing leading to this release.

Bugs fixed

• #35: Unhandled exception when trying to use gnome keyring (better fix than in 0.3.3)
• #37: gnome-keyring problem (crash)
• #38: Can’t build without gnome-keyring
• Revert correctly to previous dir on failed local dir change
• Fixed possible problem when swithing keyring mode with no password file present

You can download bareFTP 0.3.4 source from the download area. Packages for the various distros will follow.

You may also read the release notes for the related release 0.3.3 and 0.3.2.

A new version is out, a bit before schedule. This had to be rushed a bit, because of the somewhat broken c# wrapper for Gnome Keyring when using GNOME 2.30.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid has partly solved the problem with a patched version of gnome-keyring-sharp. This version has a few workarounds to make bareFTP work properly with that patched version of gnome-keyring-sharp. Hopefully other distros go for the same patch.

This release also brings one new feature (see below).

New features:

• Ability to send custom ftp commands to server
  A new item “Send Command” has been added to the from right-click context menu on the remote side. This will bring up a dialog box for sending a command to the ftp server. The output will be printed in the message window. Use this feature with caution, as some commands may cause unexpected results.

bareFTP 0.3.2 is finally here. This release does not bring any new feautres, but contains a good number of bugfixes and improvements.

There has been some issues using bareFTP with GNOME 2.30. The issues are related to some icon naming changes, and changes to GnomeKeyring. The icon issue is addressed in this release. The GnomeKeyring issue is really a problem with gnome-keyring sharp not being compatible with gnome 2.30. This has been addressed with patches on a few distros, and will hopefully be fixed in the near future on all distros using the newest GNOME.
So.. if you have Gnome Keyring enabled in bareFTP and are using GNOME 2.30, and are experiencing problems with bookmark handling, the problem is most likely the gnome-keyring-sharp bindings

Bugs fixed

• #34 – Missing icon issues in progress panel
• Crash when recieving a 550 on changedir
• #30 – Right click instability
• #29 – Impossible connect to a server with different port via sftp
• Ensure clean openssh exit on disconnect (no more defunct processes)
• Fixed a bug in the configure script. –without-gnomekeyring now really works

Other improvements

• Improved drag’n drop. More user friendly on multiple selection
• Some ui improvents for error reporting
• Better date formating in file lists
