========

- Added PYVERSION and SYSINFO to Internal Variables List

twander 3
=========

- Fix Association BUG: See /local/etc/.twander.global to reproduce
  when two *gz associations are defined.

- Fix BUG: Cannot open Win Desktop with shortcut when
  files stored there contain Spanish accent characters.
  Probably a Unicode bug of some sort.

- Add keyboard option to set refresh interval with bounding
  heuristic on time if user asks for one that is too short.

- Cleanup errors reported by pylint

- Add display of free/used on current volume

- Reorg titlebar to use less space

- Add incremental select feature: -> text

- Add ability to modify options from within running program with option
  to save at end of config file.






Version 4 Future
================

- Remove dependence on mutex module and replace with
  semaphore/queue model.

- Variable width columns, with ability to select which
  columns are visible.

- More OO model - each instance of the program is an object
  OR ... should each directory view be an object?

- Support general plugin mechanism.  Plugin could then have access to
  all current directory views' features (files, selections, hidden,
  etc.)

- Mechanism to save current state in a separate file

  . Save current size/position

  . Persistent clipboards / preload values into clipboard

  . Current values of directory shortcuts

  . User toggled options


- Split new directory processing into queue producer-harvester
  model.

- Implement HIDE=regex  configuration file feature.
  This will be a more general form of the DOT options and
  can be used to implement them (or should toggling dotfiles
  always be possible separately?).

- Dynamically size display column widths based on actual
  content rather than fixed worst-case field widths.

- DRIVELIST on Unix: Display mount points

- Enhance configuration language:

  . Anonymous commands - no command key

  . Need smarter quoting mechanisms

    - Escape blanks when FORCEUNIXPATH is active
    - Offer quoted and non-quoted version of the builtins

  . Switch configuration language to tconfpy

  . Named directory ALIASes:

      FOO = /a/b/c

    Means you can type FOO in response to a cd dialog and
    get sent to a/b/c

- Figure out how to get the dialog fonts/sizes to track
  the rest of the program. (Perhaps replace with my own?)

- Also possibly the titlebar fonts.

- Automatic updater
