renameutils - History

Now with complete French translation.

Removed debugging statements rendering imv and icp unusable (oops!) (reported by Francois Marier).
Use mv(1) to perform the actual rename. Fixes Debian bug 316113. (Reported by Daniel Hulme through Francois Marier.)
Improved some messages and error messages.
Change order of inclusion of readline headers, fixing complation problem on some distributions (patch from Brian Hall).
Added --command and --arg-options option to icmd (icp and imv).

Add some missing entries to this history.

Added Swedish translation.
Added French translation (from Francois Marier).
The executables in the RPM packages now links with ncurses to prevent problems on Red Hat and Fedora systems.
Handle POSIXLY_CORRECT in imv (fixes rename bug) (from Brian Hall).
Change imv to pass command line through to mv if at least two file names are specified (or --target-directory option for mv) (suggested by Francois Marier).
imv now checks if the source file exists prior to asking for destination name (suggested by Francois Marier).
imv now detects and handles options requiring arguments for mv.
imv now trims the edited file name. This means that the destination file name cannot have leading or trailing white space.
Merge code base for imv and icp into icmd.
Got rid of year ranges as recommended by the FSF.
Improve the manual pages a little.
Add Gnulib modules quote, dirname. Remove stat as it no longer exists in Gnulib.
Fixed some typos in messages of the program.

Update description in README and web page.

Added new programs, icp and qcp (suggested by Mario Vanoni).
Quote file names and strings before printing them (like GNU coreutils).
Make use of more gnulib modules (quotearg, yesno, version-etc).
Fixed a serious memory management-related bug in imv causing renaming to fail for no reason.
Fixed a potential segmentation fault when printing a particular error message.
Added copyright and license header to source files and manual pages.
Manual page updates:
Gettext is now external (no intl directory).
Use Gnulib properly (modules.gnulib and autogen.sh removed).
Added debian package.
Added MANIFEST.sources file.
Fix potential bug in cross-reference solution code.
Added documentation for qcmd --help from Stephen Kolupaev, thanks.

Clarified README about requirements.
Include Makefile.am.head in lib and m4 directories in distribution tarball.
Minor clean ups to the autogen.sh, Makefile.am and configure.ac files.
Now compiles with --disable-nls as well:
Check that locale was set correctly.

Added deurlname - a program to remove URL-escaped character sequences from filenames (such as %20 for space).
Internationalized renameutils - added support for gettext.
Removed debian support since renameutils has been in the official Debian archives for quite some time.
Removed show-control-chars variable and option (automaticly assumed since we are using gettext).
Fixed a bug in dual-column editformat that would cause a segfault when renaming files with trailing space in their names (reported by Chris Jantzen).
Fixed a bug in qmv that made it impossible to rename files larger than 2GB (reported by Chris Gentle).
Corrected makefiles to allow for creation of staticly linked executables.
renameutils now requires a C89-compatible compiler and C library.
Modules from gnulib are used to improve compatibility.

Enable autowidth for dual-column by default, for real this time.
Fixed "Illegal instruction" crash with '-fdc -oseparate'.
Added more checks for headers and functions to the configure script.

Added new option `autowidth' to the dual-column edit format, which is enabled by default.
Handle case when the edited file can't be read correctly (for whatever reason).
Fixed bug in imv that made it impossible to overwrite files.
Now compiles with more error checking (compile with -Wall).
Fixed some compilation errors.
Added files for making an RPM package of renameutils.

Added manual pages for qmv and imv.
Added files for making a renameutils Debian package.
The author has changed email-address to [email protected].

Made it possible to compile with readline 4.1 as well as 4.2.
Added note in README about requirements.

Fixed a subtle bug regarding order of #includes that would cause build to fail in some occasions.

First public release.
