+ * Macros are defined via regular expressions instead of
+ prefixes. This nice idea has been suggested by Alejandro
+ Forero Cuervo.
+
+ * Really no dupes are stored in the command history.
+
+ * The size and layout of the applet will be modified
+ automatically if the panel size is changed.
+
+ * Command completion is now provided by a new function by
+ Travis Hume. Since his routine is not based on a bash
+ script (like my old function) it should be faster.
+
+ * Mini-Commander has no longer an internal version number.
+ Instead the version number of MATE is used from now on.
+
+ * Halfline had the idea to implement an history base auto
+ completion and wrote the inital code. This feature is
+ optional.
+
+
+Release 1.0.0:
+
+ * This is v1.0.0 because all basic features have been
+ implemented.
+
+ * Allow pasting into the input box with the middle mouse
+ button (idea taken from the applet WebControl by Garrett
+ Smith).
+
+ * Prefix matching has been improved.
+
+ * Three very useful macros from Chad Powell have been added.
+ I had to increase the maximum allowed macro length just for
+ his macros ;-). You need to remove ~/.mate/mini-commander
+ to get this new default macro. Here is Chad's own
+ description:
+
+ The following macro for the Mini-Commander allows you
+ to enter av:searchstring and search on altavista. It
+ automatically changes ", +, and spaces to the right
+ characters for the url. I thought you might want to
+ add this to the default macros. I got the idea from
+ the new web-search applet, thought that rather than
+ have a seperate applet, it would be pretty easy to
+ make Mini-Commander do it.
+
+ He also wrote macros for yahoo and freshmeat which have been
+ included as default macros.
+
+ * Signal handler installation routine has been rewritten.
+ Hopefully this will fix the "zombie" problem which a few
+ people (Charles Duffy and Brian J. Murrell) have reported.
+
+
+ * A patch from Nick Lamb has been added which makes the handle
+ box optional. He writes:
+
+ I saw in your TODO, that you wanted to make the
+ Handle-box widget optional, and since people not a
+ million miles from me in this lab kept moaning about
+ it, I had an itch to scratch :)
+
+
+
+Release 0.0.14:
+
+ * Mini-Commander can be detached from panel. This is useful
+ for people who use vertical panel.
+
+ * Up to 99 changeable macros are supported.
+
+ * File browser added.
+
+ * Clickable history list added. [suggested by Brian J. Murrell]
+
+ * Dupes are no longer stored in command history.
+
+ * History is stored when the program is terminated and
+ restored when it is started later.
+
+ * Command completion has been enhanced. Now it works even
+ if a prefix is used. Also it delivers the largest possible
+ completion even if the given command is not unique.
+
+ * Preferences bug fixed.
+
+
+
+Release 0.0.13:
+
+ * Documentation in SGML/DocBook format created.
+
+
+
+Release 0.0.12:
+
+ * works with newest mate libraries (from cvs) again

+ * mini-commander becomes part of mate-core (thanks to Kevin M
+ Fox who suggested this on mate's mailing list)
+
+
+
+Release 0.0.11:
+
+ * first support of command completion (use the [tab] key)
+
+
+
+Release 0.0.10:
+
+ * configurable height of command line
+
+ * default macros enhanced (for example Kevin M Fox suggested
+ to use mate-terminal instead of nxterm as default) (you
+ have to do `rm ~/.mate/mini-commander` to get the new
+ default values)
+
+ * cleaner UI
+
+ * code cleanup
+
+

+
+
+Release 0.0.7:
+
+ * freely configurable prefixes
+
+ * support for internationalization (I added a german
+ translation)
+
+ * history remembers current command even if you type KeyUp,
+ KeyDown (suggested by Itamar S.-T.)
+
+
+
+Release 0.0.6b:
+
+ * dependency-bug fixed (program didn't compile if mate wasn't

+ S.-T.)

+
+ * If you enter a URL then netscape will be started (suggested
+ by Kevin M Fox).
+
+
+ * If you enter "term:<command>command</command>" then
+ <command>command</command> is executed in nxterm or xterm
+ (for non-X programs).
+
+ * Clock added.
+
+ * Fixed a redraw bug of the frame.
+
+
+
