2002-12-03 3.0 Release Mountapp now builds and works with with Window Maker 0.80. Dependency on libPropList has been removed. 01/02/00 2.7 Release Doh! My NEWS file is not Y2K compliant. Erico Freitas sent me a patch for partitions that are much larger than any that I personally have. Nothing else has changed in this release. 7/20/99 2.6 Release I finally got around to fixing mount.conf to work cleanly with GTK+-1.2. I tried to put the font and color tabs into the config app but just gave up. If you really need to change the color or font, just edit your ~/G/D/mount.app file. 2/9/98 2.4 Release There's been a bug in the configure script since 2.2 that caused mount.conf not to be run if you installed mount.app from the tar ball and didn't supply any --prefix. This version adds support for HFS parititions and has another bugfix for GTK+ > 1.1.7. As soon as GTK+ 1.2 is released, I'll probably rewrite portions of mount.conf to be much cleaner (and finally add in support for changing colors and fonts). 1/12/98 2.3 Release The source RPM file should now be relocateable so non-root users can compile and install the package. A couple of obscure bugs were also stomped. 1/8/98 2.2 Release I got a patch from Jim Knoble which fixed some messiness in configure.in to allow more control over the paths where things get installed. I also received a patch from Paul Johnson to make the RPM relocateable, but because of deficiencies in my autoconf scripts they didn't work quite right. Hopefully with the pathes from Jim, Paul or I can get the spec file up to snuff. With this release, I've changed the spec file to place the mount.[app|conf] executables in /usr/X11R6/bin by default (as per RedHat spec). Also in this release is a workaround for the newer GTK+ versions (>1.1.7). For whatever reasons, they changed the order of argument calling in a certain call-back function. 12/18/98 2.1 Release With much thanks to Doug Nazar, this release has a few new nifty features. For one, the mount button turns orange when pressed to indicate that the mount process has started and then turns green when complete. Also, there is now the ability to display an error indication character underneath the mount name and capacity info as well as (or instead of) the message dialog box. Let me know if anything got broke. 12/10/98 2.0 Release The biggest change in this release is the change of application names from Mount and MountConfig to mount.app and mount.conf. This should satisfy some of the distribution maintainers who like all their apps to use lower case characters. This of course breaks the upgrade cycle of the older RPM's, you'll have to uninstall them by hand before you install the 2.0 version because the package name has changed. The property list configuration file also changed names from Mount.app to mount.app. This is probably a good thing as I made a subtle change to the way the icondir is stored and it'll be good for everyone to start with a fresh config file. It's looking like mount.app is moving into a low-maintence mode as it's gotten to be pretty much feature complete. If anyone has any bright ideas that I (and my users) have missed, please pass them along. In the meanwhile I think I'm going to focus on other efforts for a while. 11/06/98 1.2 Release Wow, that was a long time between releases (for this project anyway). I guess 1.1 was pretty stable. The only thing new in this release is some quick and dirty support for window managers other than Window Maker. This has been a much requested fix. All you need to do to use FVWM or AfterStep is to pass mount the "-n" parameter. Also in this release is the option to use "<>" characters to differentiate between capacity display methods. This will probably be the last release for a while unless someone comes up with a really interesting feature request. 10/18/98 1.1 Release Well, the eject program is back. I realized that my 5 line eject routine would not work properly on Zip or Jazz drives nor on Sparc floppies. The eject program is so small, anyway, that it takes very little resources to spawn it as a separate task (especially now that I've removed the paranoid -u parameter). New in this version are some newbie features. An online help dialog box for the config app (gives a quick mounting tutorial <*get your mind out of the gutter*>), and some helpful dialog boxes for when your mount or unmount fails. This should give mount.app +3 friendly points. (No, no dancing paperclips in this release just yet) 10/16/98 1.0 Release If you are compiling mount.app on Linux, it will now use an internal eject function instead of making a call to the 'eject' utility. In order for this to work, the user running mount.app must have read rights for the device in question. All other platforms will use the 'eject' utility to do the dirty work.
