Kleiner und hoch konfigurierbarer Zwei-Fenster Dateimanager für Linux

Dank der jüngsten Entwicklungen rund um die mangelnde Sicherheit von PHP musste ich eine ganze Reihe verschiedener Domains von Hand aktualisieren, ein langsamer und schmerzhafter Prozess. Das zwang mich, die Seite sehr schnell in Ordnung zu bringen und das neue Sunflower zusammen mit den neuen Paketformaten zu veröffentlichen, die der eigentliche Grund für das Upgrade waren.

Also: viel Spaß damit. Diese Version ist längst überfällig. Diesmal deutlich stabiler und hoffentlich mit weniger Problemen. Eine der großen Änderungen ist die Unterstützung für GTK4, die eigentlich 1:1 der GTK3-Variante entsprechen sollte, aber bei einer so großen Codebasis weiß man nie. Um Sunflower mit GTK4 zu starten, muss man das über die Umgebungsvariable angeben: SUNFLOWER_GTK=4 sunflower, das sollte reichen.

Meldet euch, wenn ihr auf Probleme stoßt, oder noch besser, wenn euch Tickets auffallen, die noch offen, aber nicht mehr relevant sind. Die Liste braucht dringend eine Bereinigung. Viel Spaß!

This news has been long overdue and I sincerely apologize for that. In following days I will release version 0.4 of Sunflower, which is based on GTK+ version 3.22.

Program is still not where I want it to be, but I feel it's stable enough for daily use and feedback/bug reports from the community will help speed up development. With this move I hope to return to old release schedule of frequent and iterative development and not wait couple of years for major update.

Many things have been added and removed and most of the interface has been remade. Performance is significantly better, memory usage lower and over all I am very happy with the progress made since 0.3 version.

I've been silent for far too long. For that I owe all of Sunflower users an apology. For a long time work has taken more of my free time than I care to admit. However, those of you who follow repositories probably noticed some increase in activity there recently. Issues have started getting resolved and with each commit we are nearing to the now long delayed 0.4 version.

Move to GTK3 has been largely completed. I am taking this opportunity to improve user interface a bit since new version of GTK+ offers a lot more flexibility in providing simple interface without removing any functionality. Along the way, with the news of Python 2.x being supported until 2020, we took the opportunity to switch to Python 3.x which was painless for the most part. I have also created support for making a single Sunflower standalone executable. Not really a needed functionality but it might prove useful to people whose distribution is not yet supported and/or don't want to install something in system directories.

Currently the biggest issue we are facing is with keyboard shortcuts and some copy/paste functionality as those seem to be broken upstream and reaching right people to report this is proving harder than I though.

All in all, Sunflower is still here, still being developed. If you'd wish to give a new version a go, I'd appreciate that as bug reports are more than welcome and testing is really needed for this new version.
