dirk · Last edited by dirk on Sat Oct 31, 2009 11:57 pm; edited 1 time in total

The Krew is proud to present the first stable KDE4 release of your favourite
file manager! The development process was all about porting, all dependencies to the Qt3 support libs have been removed. This is the first stable that comes with experimental support for the Windows platform. Who thought that day will ever come?

Even though this release contains quite a bunch of new features our main focus was to create a KDE4 version that is ready for everyday use. Overall the release is very usable but might contain bugs that haven't been present in prior versions. Please provide us bug reports, feedback and patches to make it as solid as the KDE3 version. Many thanks to everyone who supported us in the porting process!

Highlights:

Archive dialog now remembers Compression level
View properties for detailed/brief/interviews are merged into one
Bugfixes
I18n updates

Changes since 2.0.0-beta2 (but not limited to):

A first version of the long awaited queue manager
Five different sorting methods
Highlight quick search match
Possibility to select a predefined mouse selection mode and change a detail
Fine tuning in the Useractions
Many many bugfixes

Changes since 2.0.0-beta1 (but not limited to):

Ported to KDE4 not using any of the Qt3 support libs
Experimental support for the Windows platform
Send emails with Thunderbird
Attach multiple files to emails
Submenus for categories in UserAction menu and context menu
Select encoding in content search and krarc
New synchronizer shortcuts
Complete list of changes and enhancements is in the ChangeLog...

Hello,

thank you

Krusader on KDE-Windows can be compiled.
http://krusader.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2191
But be aware that you should consider it as ALPHA software (bugs, issues, usability, ...) since Krusader was never designed in the past to be compatible with Windows.
A Krusader on KDE-Windows development binary could be provided by us.

Unfortunately it's not possible yet to add Krusader in de KDEWIN installer for easy installation

How can I get binary packages for Ubuntu Hardy Heron or Linpus Linux for atom (FC8 based distribution for Acer Aspire One)?

Compilation has been a complete disaster for me... It seems I'm too clumsy

It's better to use (K)Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" since it has a recent KDE 4.1.X

I think that (K)Ubuntu 8.4 "Hardy Heron" uses KDE 4.0 that has several issues (I'm not shure that there are KDE updates available).
I might try to build an AMD64 DEB package for (K)Ubuntu 8.4 "Hardy Heron" (If my old Hardy installation still works at least, I have not used it since ages).

For Linpus Linux, contact the maintainers of Linpus Linux and ask them to provide Krusader-2.0.0 Thanks!

Thanks! I will upgrade to intrepid ibex a.s.a.p. (I use Hardy 32bit version, btw)

Unfortunately linpus lite is a fairly closed (and poorly maintained) distribution... for example, all the links to download it in www.linpus.com seem to be non functional. It came preinstalled in the computer (Acer Aspire One, a $200 netbook), and without krusader nor any obvious means to install anything. Searching in the net, I learned it was Fedora Core 8 based and how to execute yum (and yumex) and so I first upgraded to firefox 3 and second installed krusader, then a bunch of thinhs. Unfortunately, since it is based on fedora core 8, the repositories are not maintained, and I find too risky to fully upgrade the system, since the system is so "special" in hardware and limited in power...

I will probably try LinuxOne or Kuki Linux and try to install krusader 2 there...

Krusader 2.0 has now reached FreeBSD as well.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=krusader-2.0&stype=all&sektion=all

It's a new port, so that krusader 1.x and krusader 2.x can co-exist.

Thanks to Heiner !

First of all, thanks a lot for your great work on krusader!
Krusader 2 is fine piece of software.

Btw, on openSuse 11.1 there was short after your release a package available, but I will use the svn again, because the 2.0.0 has still some glitches

Thanks.
