Bumped version to 0.8. +- Fixed disabled configuration dialog when another user edited the same + system file. +- Fixed wrong path when the strings "cifs" or "smbfs" were part of the + mount point name (closes #13342). +- Fixed unrecognized authentication error when querying the workgroup + master browser for the workgroup members (closes #12830). +- Fixed flickering of items in the shares views. +- Applied patch by Dirk Mueller that installs the configuration dialog as + KDE module. + +Smb4K 0.9.3: +- Revised and optimized the code of the password handler. One consequence + is, that the format of the wallet entries is not compatible with previous + versions. The old entries will be converted automatically. +- Fixed a regression in the browser, where the list of shares was not deleted + when an host item was collapsed. +- Fixed an unmount problem that occurred when mount.smbfs is indeed a symlink + to or a copy of mount.cifs. +- The mount command now includes the NetBIOS name of the local host, which + is at least needed when using port 139. + +Smb4K 0.9.2: +- Added a few "What's this?" help texts to the "Shares" configuration page. +- Updated translations. +- The preview dialog does not show the "." and ".." directories if the user + chose to see hidden directories. +- The bookmark folder in the system tray widget now has a bookmark folder + icon. +- Applied patch provided by Carsten Lohrke so that Smb4K's desktop file + complies with freedesktop.org's specifications. +- Fixed double declaration in Smb4KSystemTray class. +- Removed Smb4KConfigDialogFactory::setConfigObject() function that was not + used. +- Fixed poor IP address check in Smb4KScanner::searchForHost(). +- Fixed saving of default login data when the wallet was closed. +- Updated handbook. + +Smb4K 0.9.1 +- Replaced all occurences of getenv("USER") by getpwuid(getuid())->pw_name. +- Corrected spelling mistakes in German translation. +- Fixed compilation error under FreeBSD. +- Fixed fails-to-build-from-source bugs with upcoming GCC 4.3. + +Smb4K 0.9.0: +- Cleaned up the code and updated the copyright statements (class descriptions, + e-mail address and year). +- Smb4K now uses KConfig XT throughout the whole application. This breaks + compatibility with older versions of Smb4K. +- Replaced the old configuration dialog with a new one based on KConfigDialog + to take advantange of the KConfig XT infrastructure. It is a KDE module + library: libsmb4kconfigdialog. +- Added some configuration options: + + The '-S <arg>' (signing state) and '-P' (use machine account) arguments of + smbclient are now supported. + + Added several advanced mount.cifs options and the ability to pass custom + options to mount.cifs (closes #10249). You will need Linux kernel >= 2.6.15 + to take advantage of most of them. + + Added the ability to remove all options at once in the "Custom" tab of the + Samba configuration page. +- Changed some configuration options: + + The hidden files and directories are not displayed in the preview dialog by + default. + + Rsync's '--existing' and '--ignore-existing' option can be active at the + same time. + + The default UID and GID are now those of the user. +- Removed obsolete Smb4KUser class. +- Implemented validity checks into the core container classes, so that only IPv4 + and IPv6 IP addresses are used (closes #11470). +- Modified Smb4KGlobal namespace: + + Removed Smb4KGlobal::kernelVersion() function. + + Removed Smb4KGlobal::systemName() function. + + Removed Smb4KGlobal::config() function. + + Removed Smb4KGlobal::getUMASK(). +- Removed Smb4KHomesShareHandler::convert() function. +- Revised Smb4KCore class: + + Rewrote Smb4KCore::searchPrograms(). + + Removed Smb4KCore::smb4k_core() static pointer and replaced it with a better + approach (Smb4KCore::self() and static pointers to the core classes). + + Added Smb4KCore::init() function, that initializes the core, i.e. starts the + scanning of the network and the import and remounting of shares. +- Improved Smb4KSambaOptionsHandler class: + + The constructor does not take a KConfig object anymore. + + The client charset and server codepage will be auto-detected if the 'unix + charset' and 'dos charset' options are present in smb.conf, respectively + (closes #10805). +- Modified Smb4KShare class: + + Moved to KUser and KUserGroup to retrieve information about the user and the + group of the mounted share. This sets the minimum requirement to KDE 3.3. + + Added Smb4KShare::setUID() and Smb4KShare::setGID() functions. + + Smb4KShare::equals() now takes a constant reference instead of a pointer. +- Improved Smb4KMounter class: + + Removed legacy code from mountRecent() function and renamed it to remount(). + + Renamed Smb4KMounter::State::MountRecent to Smb4KMounter::State::Remount. + + Smb4KMounter::findShareByName() now returns a list of all mounts of the + specified share that are present on the system. This way the checks for + mounted shares etc. could be improved. + + Rewrote Smb4KMounter::mount() function. + + Cleaned up Smb4KMounter::unmount() and improved the remaining checks. + + Removed check for correct Linux kernel if the "Force Unmounting" feature is + used. The operating system will throw an error if the wrong kernel is used. + + Added a new function Smb4KMounter::checkAccessibilty( Smb4KShare *share ). + It replaces code in Smb4KMounter::import() and Smb4KMounter::processMount() + and simplifies maintenance. + + The "bad user name" and "bad group name" messages that are returned by + mount.cifs if a bad UID/GID are provided are recognized as errors. + + Improved Smb4KMounter::isMounted(). It takes now a boolean as second argument + that determines whether all or only user mounts should be considered. +- Modified Smb4KScanner class: + + Removed preview code from class. + + Improved code for custom search requests. + + Renamed Smb4KScanner::addHost() function to Smb4KScanner::insertHost() and + improved it. + + Added hostAdded() signal that is emitted when a single host has been added + via the insertHost() function to the list of known hosts. +- Moved Smb4KMounterPrivate and Smb4KScannerPrivate classes to own files. Now + the users can use the --enable-final configure option without problems. +- Introduced Smb4KPreviewer core class that takes care of previews of remote + shares. +- Rewrote Smb4KPreviewItem class and moved it into own files. +- Introduced new Smb4KSynchronizationInfo container class. +- Modified Smb4KSynchronizer class: + + Replaced the "--devices" option by the "--devices --specials" options, so + that also fifos, etc. can be preserved. + + Replaced the "--remove-sent-files" option by "--remove-source-files". This + makes rsync 2.6.9 a requirement, if you want to take advantage of this + option. + + Removed the URL requester and the progress dialog. + + Added new signals: progress() and finished(). + + Make use of the new Smb4KSynchronizationInfo container class. + + A new synchronization request won't be taken if one is already processed. +- Modified Smb4KPasswordHandler class: + + Removed import() function which imported authentication data from old + password file (versions prior to Smb4K 0.6.0). + + The constructor does not take a KConfig object anymore. + + The descriptive text in the askpass dialog now distinguishes between a + server and a share. +- Did a major revision of Smb4KFileIO class: + + Removed Smb4KFileIO::getUsers(). + + Removed Smb4KFileIO::writeSuperUserEntries(). + + Removed Smb4KFileIO::removeSuperUserEntries(). + + Removed Smb4KFileIO::processOutput(). + + Removed obsolete compatibility code. + + Introduced Smb4KFileIO::writeSudoers(). + + Introduced Smb4KFileIO::writeSuperTab(). + + Introduced Smb4KFileIO::processSudoers(). + + Introduced Smb4KFileIO::processSuperTab(). + + The env_keep list will not be replaced, but PASSWD and USER are appended + to it. +- Modified definitions in smb4kdefs.h. For changes see the file itself. +- Improved Smb4KBookmark class: + + Added ability to define an alternative label that can be used to identify + the bookmark in a custom way. + + Added constructor that takes a Smb4KHostItem object. +- Improved Smb4KBookmarkHandler class: + + Implemented support for the new label feature. + + Replaced findBookmark() by findBookmarkByName() and findBookmarkByLabel() + functions. + + Rewrote addBookmark() function. +- Smb4KPrint now supports the "application/x-shellscript" mime type. +- Unified API of the network item classes. +- Bumped version of the core library to 2.0.0. +- Rewrote main window: + + Smb4KApp now inherits KParts::DockMainWindow. + + Removed labels that gave information about the WINS server and the look-up + method. + + Made the status bar messages a bit more informative. +- Redesigned shares icon view: + + Removed Smb4KShareWidget, Smb4KShareWidgetItem, Smb4KShareActionMenu, and + Smb4KShareTooltip classes. + + Introduced new classes: Smb4KSharesIconView, Smb4KSharesIconViewItem, + Smb4KSharesIconViewPart, and Smb4KSharesIconViewToolTip. + + The shares iconview is now a KParts KDE module: libsmb4ksharesiconview. + + Removed the fake list view feature. + + Added ability to open a mounted share with Konsole. This is useful for + people who need to execute shell scripts on the share. +- Added new shares list view: + + The features of the new list view are similar to the ones of the icon view. + + The new list view consists of the classes: Smb4KSharesListViewPart, + Smb4KSharesListView, Smb4KSharesListViewItem and Smb4KSharesListViewToolTip. +- Redesigned network browser: + + Removed Smb4KBrowserWidget, Smb4KBrowserWidgetItem, Smb4KBrowserActionMenu, + and Smb4KNetworkItemTooltip classes. + + Introduced new classes: Smb4KNetworkBrowser, Smb4KNetworkBrowserItem, + Smb4KNetworkBrowserPart and Smb4KNetworkBrowserToolTip. + + The network browser is now a KParts KDE module: libsmb4knetworkbrowser. +- Redesigned search dialog: + + Applied a major revision to the Smb4KSearchDialog class. Among other things, + the widget that shows the search results is now a KListView. + + Introduced new Smb4KSearchDialogItem class for easier handling of the items + in the list view. + + Introduced Smb4KSearchDialogPart class that manages the communication with + the core and the rest of the application. + + The search dialog is now a KParts KDE module: libsmb4ksearchdialog. (An rc + file is not provided because it's not needed.) +- Introduced a new synchronization dialog (Smb4KSynchronizationDialog) where the + old URL requester and the progress dialog from Smb4KSynchronizer were merged. +- Redesigned the print dialog. +- Revised the preview dialog. It now uses the new Smb4KPreviewer class and the + reworked Smb4KPreviewItem class. +- Modified and improved the bookmark editor: + + It is now possible to define a custom label to identify a bookmark. + + The workgroup is not editable anymore. +- Rewrote Smb4KSystemTray class from scratch: + + The old functionality has been preserved. + + Added the ability to unmount all mounted shares at once. +- Ported the Konqueror plugin to the new widgets. +- Modified utility programs: + + Removed deprecated arguments from smb4k_mount. + + Removed deprecated arguments from smb4k_umount. + + Adjusted help screens where necessary. + + Bumped versions where appropriate. + +Smb4K 0.8.7: +- Fixed smb4k_cat utility program: + + Enlarged the allowed length per line to 1024 (instead of 255) characters + (closes #12262). + + Fixed a bug that could lead to corrupted files. +- Fixed Smb4KPasswordHandler::readDefaultAuth() that returned a pointer that was + freed when the function exited. +- Fixed Smb4KMounter: + + Smb4K won't consider foreign shares for remounting on start-up. This also + seems to solve the crash bug initially reported in #11973 (closes #11467 + and #12369). + + Fixed unmount command line in slotShutdown() function under FreeBSD. + + Fixed unmount command line in unmount() function under FreeBSD. + +Smb4K 0.8.6: +- Fixed a crash in Smb4KMounter::findShareByPath() (closes #11499, #11543 and + #11973). + +Smb4K 0.8.5: +- Updated the handbook. +- Fixed compile errors in Smb4KMounter class under FreeBSD. + +Smb4K 0.8.4: +- Reintroduced Polish translation provided by Jerzy Trzeciak. +- Updated Turkish translation and improved smb4k_add.desktop file. Thanks go + to Serdar Soytetir for providing the patches. +- Fixed missing functionality of the --ignore-existing argument of rsync. +- Fixed 'net rap server domain' command that is incompatible with Samba + 3.0.25 (and later?). +- Fixed Smb4KPasswordHandler::readAuth() that returned a pointer that was + freed when the function exited. +- Fixed broken Smb4KPrint::print() function. +- Fixed a bug in the preview dialog that led to the hanging of the whole + application. +- Fixed DCOP-related hanging of Smb4K during KDE start-up (closes #11189): + + Added 'X-DCOP-ServiceType=Unique' entry to smb4k.desktop file. + + Implemented KUniqueApplication::start() in main.cpp. +- Fixed a potential memory leak in the bookmark editor. + +Smb4K 0.8.3: +- Fixed command lines in Smb4KMounter:unmount() that provoked smb4k_umount + to complain about a deprecated argument. +- Applied Turkish translation patch provided by Ismail Donmez. + +Smb4K 0.8.2: +- Modified utility programs: + + Fixed the "No mode was specified" bug in smb4k_mount/smb4k_umount and + related issues in the other utility programs. + + Modified the help screens of the utility programs with respect to clarity + and better readability. + + Warnings are shown if deprecated arguments are used. + + Increased all versions by 0.1. +- Worked around a bug where shares where remounted with UID=0 and GID=0 when + using the CIFS file system. +- Improved the 'Trouble Shooting' section of the handbook and bumped its + version to 1.1.2. + +Smb4K 0.8.1: +- Rewrote smb4k_mount, smb4k_umount, smb4k_kill, smb4k_cat, and smb4k_mv from + scratch in order to fix the following security weaknesses discovered by + Ben Hutchings (should finally close #9631): + + Due to insufficient sanitation, smb4k_mount allowed an user to mount any + (local) device if the program was used in combination with sudo or super. + + The function findprog(), which was present in smb4k_mount, smb4k_umount, + and smb4k_kill, returned a pointer to memory that was freed when the + function exited. + + The function replace_special_characters(), that was present in smb4k_mount + and smb4k_umount, returned a pointer to memory that was freed after the + function exited. Additionally, it didn't replace the hyphen. +- Changes in smb4k_mount: + + Moved to getopt_long() to parse the command line options. + + Added '-n' and '-s' switches (not under FreeBSD) as short forms of the + '--suid' and '--no-suid' arguments, respectively. + + Added '--version' argument. + + Out of the many arguments that may be passed to the 'mount' binary, only + '-t <filesystem>' and '-o <options>' are still supported with smb4k_mount. + + All file systems except 'smbfs' and 'cifs' will result in an error. + + Fixed order of the arguments that were passed to 'mount.cifs' and + 'smbmount' (the '-o <options>' argument must be placed at the end). + + Added check if a share in the form //HOST/SHARE is supplied. If this is + not the case, smb4k_mount will error out. + + Improved FreeBSD support. +- Changes in smb4k_umount: + + Moved to getopt_long() to parse the command line arguments. + + Added '-n' and '-s' switches (not under FreeBSD) as short forms of the + '--suid' and '--no-suid' arguments, respectively. + + Added '--version' argument. + + Added check if a mount point is supplied at all. + + Improved FreeBSD support. + + The '--smbfs' and '--cifs' arguments have been deprecated and are now + inoperable. They are still present for backward compatibility, but may be + removed any time soon. +- Changes in smb4k_kill: + + Moved to getopt_long() to parse the command line arguments. + + Added '--version' argument. + + smb4k_kill does not take a signal number anymore. You can only terminate + a process with the SIGTERM signal. +- Changes in smb4k_cat: + + Moved to getopt_long() to parse the command line arguments. + + Added '--version' argument. +- Changes in smb4k_mv: + + Moved to getopt_long() to parse the command line arguments. + + Added '--version' argument. + + Added a check if the source and destination files are regular files. If + they are not, smb4k_mv will error out. +- Adjusted Smb4KMounter class to the slightly changed behavior of the utility + programs: + + Removed SIGTERM signal from command line in Smb4KMounter::abort() because + of the changes made to smb4k_kill. + + Changed the command lines for smb4k_mount and smb4k_umount. +- Started to address the browsing problems experienced by users in Active + Directory environments: If the NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_DISABLED error is + encountered (which actually seems to be an authentication issue), Smb4K + won't error out anymore but ask the user for the user name and password + (closes #10280). +- Fixed two bugs in Smb4KFileIO: + + The search for the lock file directory will not return a directory that is + not readable and writeable anymore (except /var and /tmp are mounted ro). + + If the lock file does not exist when Smb4KFileIO::removeLockFile() wants + to delete it, no error will be shown anymore. +- Fixed a compilation error under SUSE (10.2) and with the upcoming GCC 4.3. +- Smb4K now uses the CIFS file system by default (closes #10804). +- The handbook was updated to reflect the changes made to the utility programs. + +Smb4K 0.8.0: +- smb4k_konqplugin: implemented working toolbar code + search dialog connected + to toolbar +- smb4k_konqplugin: fixed unmount all shares on exit +- Moved source files of the Konqueror plugin to own directory. +- Improved the build system: + + Added '--with-konqplugin=ARG' argument which allows the user to disable + the compilation of the Konqueror plugin. + + Added a check for Konqueror plugin header file if '--with-konqplugin=yes' + (default) was supplied. The configuration will be aborted with an error + message if the check fails (closes #8755). +- Updated admin/ directory. +- Utility programs: + + Removed file search function from smb4k_cat. + + Exchanged all occurrences of strcpy() by strncpy() (closes #9631). + + Implemented several other security releated fixes proposed by Kees Cook + after a security audit (closes #9631). They include the elimination of + stack overflows and a design error in smb4k_kill. +- Removed the Smb4KDataItem class again, because its introduction was not a + good idea. +- Revised Smb4KShare: + + Now references to strings are returned instead of copies of these strings. + + Smb4KShare::path() and Smb4KShare::canonicalPath() are now QCStrings. +- Made Smb4KUser, Smb4KPrintInfo return references to strings instead of copies + of those strings. +- Logins with umlauts and other special characters are now supported. +- Introduced the ability to define custom options for mounting and browsing + (closes #3822, #6490). Changes in detail: + + Added a new container class: Smb4KOptionsInfo + + Added a new core class that manages all Samba related options: + Smb4KSambaOptionsHandler + + Custom options are stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/custom_options. + + Added new dialog were the options can be defined. + + Added new "Custom" tab to the Samba configuration tab. Here you can edit + and delete the custom options. +- Introduced a new class named Smb4KHomesSharesHandler that handles the homes + shares: + + Moved the list of 'homes' shares and the user names defined for them to the + file ~./kde/share/apps/smb4k/homes_shares. + + Added new read and write functions for the data. + + Moved the "Specify User" dialog to this class. + + Improved "Specify User" dialog by adding a "Clear List" button that enables + the user to clear all names from the combo box. +- Introduced new Smb4KError class which handles the error messages: + + Renamed and removed several error codes. + + Adjusted code to use the new error codes. + + Improved error messages. +- Revised Smb4KGlobal namespace: + + Moved Smb4KPasswordHandler here. + + Added Smb4KSambaOptionsHandler. + + Added Smb4KHomesSharesHandler. + + Smb4KGlobal now provides a function that creates a temporary directory. The + core classes were ported to use it. +- Revised Smb4KMounter class: + + Optimized code in Smb4KMounter::import(). + + Merged Smb4KMounter::unmount() and Smb4KMounter::forceUnmount() into a more + powerful Smb4KMounter::unmount() function. Accordingly, the public function + forceUnmountingShare() has been removed and replaced by an enhanced version + of unmountShare(). + + Fixed missing port statement in the mount command under FreeBSD. +- Revised Smb4KScanner class: + + Improved code in Smb4KScanner::init(). + + Rewrote code for retrieving IP addresses. + + Added a new 'IP scan' method to retrieve the browse list (closes #7933). + + Adjusted code in Smb4KScanner::processHosts(). In case of an IP scan, the + hosts won't be deleted from the list but only additional info we be added + to existing host items. + + The constructor now takes a list for workgroups and one for hosts. Both + are provided by Smb4KCore and are used to make all discovered workgroups + and hosts available to the core classes. + + Replaced Smb4KScanner::authFailed() signal with Smb4KScanner::failed() and + implemented it more places. + + Revised the shell command for previewing shares. + + /bin/sh is not required to be present on your system anymore, but you need + a shell that understands the '-c command' option. +- Added update functionality to Smb4KBookmarkHandler class (closes #8832): + + The constructor now takes a pointer to the global host list provided by + Smb4KCore. + + Added Smb4KBookmarkHandler::update() which searches the hosts list for + changes of the IP address and updates the bookmarks, if necessary. +- Completely rewrote the Smb4KFileIO class: + + The automatic conversion of old super.tab entries has been dropped now. + + Implemented several security fixes proposed by Kees Cook after a security + audit: Moved the lock file to /var/lock, fixed a race vulneribility with + the lock file, and moved to mkstemp (closes #9630). +- Revised print code: + + Rewrote Smb4KPrint class. + + Improved Smb4KPrintDialog class. +- Improved the network item container classes: + + Smb4KShareItem: Added isHidden(), isPrinter(), isIPC(), and isADMIN(). + + Smb4KPreviewItem: Added isHidden(). +- Revised Smb4KShareWidget class: + + Disabled the ability to move the items around. + + Added Drag 'n' Drop support (closes #3027). It must be enabled in the + configuration dialog in order to use it. + + The tool tips will be displayed in a distance of 5 points away from the + mouse pointer. + + Enhanced overall handling of tooltips. +- Revised Smb4KBrowserWidget class: + + Made the browser behave much smarter. + + The tool tips will be displayed in a distance of 5 points away from the + mouse pointer. + + Enhanced overall handling of tooltips. + + The current network item will be collapsed if the Smb4KScanner::failed() + signal is received. +- Smb4KBrowserWidgetItem class now inherits KListViewItem instead of + QListViewItem. +- Revised Smb4KPreviewDialog class: + + The constructor now takes a pointer to an Smb4KShareItem object and looks up + the IP address of the host by itself. + + Added Smb4KPreviewDialog::initialized(). It returns a boolean and can be + used to only show the dialog if the preview dialog was initialized properly. + + Added a 'Back' and a 'Forward' button. + + Code clean-ups and optimizations. + + Preview of hidden files and directories may be switched off in the + configuration dialog. + + Added scrollbars to the combobox's listbox. +- Configuration dialog: + + Renamed several settings in network options tab. + + Replaced 'Appearance' by 'User Interface' configuration page and added several + new settings. + + Some widgets won't appear under operating systems anymore where they are + useless. +- The bookmark editor will reload the bookmarks if the bookmark handler emitted + the updatedBookmarks() signal. + +Smb4K 0.7.5: +- Fixed a serious bug in Smb4KFileIO that could cause a corrupted /etc/sudoers + file if debug or error output was received via stderr while reading the file + for subsequent processing. Many thanks go to h-gent-o who reported this + issue to the Ubuntu bug tracker and to Richard Johnson from the Ubuntu + project who brought it to our attention (closes #9527). + +Smb4K 0.7.4: +- Fixed error handling in Smb4KMounter::processMount() under FreeBSD. +- Fixed a bug in Smb4KSearchDialog::slotCheckItemInBrowser() that occurred + when a server item had no IP address displayed. +- Fixed a bug in the shell code that was used to retrieve the list of + workgroup/domain members from the master browser. Under certain circum- + stances the bug caused the master browser not to return the browse list. + Please note, that you need the 'sh' command being present now! On most + systems, this is a symlink to a sh-compatible shell, which is fine. +- Improved error handling in Smb4KScanner::processHosts(). +- Implemented better error handling in Smb4KSynchronizer: The synchronization + is canceled if an error occurrs. This prevents the user from being flooded + with error dialogs. +- Fixed disabled "Linux charset" and "Server codepage" combo boxes in the + configuration dialog under operating systems different from Linux. +- Fixed a bug that occurred when reading or writing the file and directory + mask. +- Changed the address used for reporting bugs via Help->Report Bugs. +- Updated several translations. + +Smb4K 0.7.3: +- Rewrote help texts of the utility programs and added version info. +- Updated handbook to version 1.0.0. +- Updated README file. +- Fixed several issues in Smb4KFileIO: + + Added a missing signal in Smb4KFileIO::write_lock_file(). + + Fixed writing of /etc/sudoers under Ubuntu. +- A host item will be closed (collapsed) if the authentication failed + (closes #8325). +- Fixed insertion of a host from the search dialog to the browser window + when the host has no IP address displayed. +- Added missing error code to Smb4KGlobal::showCoreError(). +- The preview dialog won't accept the contents of a wrong address anymore. +- The wallet will be reopened if it was closed by the user, the screensaver, + etc. (closes #8558). +- Reintroduced Chinese Traditional (zh_TW) translation. Many thanks go to + Wei-Lun Chao for providing it. +- Updated several translations. +- The text streams are now aware of the locale. + +Smb4K 0.7.2: +- Fixed another crash in Smb4KNetworkItemTooltip class. +- Fixed missing header file in smb4kcore.cpp. +- Shares having special characters in their names do not appear broken + anymore (closes #8036, #8108). +- Updated handbook. +- Fixed removal of temporary files after printing. +- Updated admin directory for autoconf 2.60 support. +- Fixed a minor bug in search routine of the smb4k_cat utility. +- Fixed potential crash in Smb4KApp::readOptions(). +- Fixed compilation error of smb4k_umount.cpp on IRIX (closes #7927). +- Fixed memory leak in Smb4KPrint::init(). +- Updated several translations. + +Smb4K 0.7.1: +- Fixed compilation error occurring with Smb4KBrowserWidgetItem::update() + (closes #7261, #7263). +- Fixed compilation error(s) in smb4k_umount.cpp under Solaris (closes #4419, + #7269). +- Updated translations. +- Updated handbook. However, it's still work-in-progress. +- Introduced the possibility to modify the length of the interval between + checks for external mounts/umounts and dead shares. This is especially + useful on systems with many mounted shares and/or to reduce the load + on remote servers (closes #6907). +- The timer will be disconnected from Smb4KScanner::start() if the scanner + is idle (closes #6907). This drastically reduces the CPU load! +- Fixed input validation when using smbclient for searching (closes #7429). +- Fixed a bug that prevented the correct saving of updated authentication + information. +- Fixed smb4k.desktop file. +- Removed two queries for a non-existent config entry. So, using Kerberos + with smbclient works again and the domain is included in the argument + string for nmblookup. +- Made the synchronization progress dialog work correctly with the latest + version of rsync. +- Fixed broken translation in the Konqueror plugin. +- Fixed a crash in the network browser's tooltip code. +- Fixed several small issues in Smb4KFileIO. + +Smb4K 0.7.0: +- KonqSidebar_Smb4K: hang up the new alreadyMountedShare signal from mounter. + No error dialogs of "already been mounted share" anymore (partially + closes #5636). +- The old tab widget in the main window has been removed. +- Added shortcuts to the main window that allow jumping to each dock widget: + CTRL+1: Network Browser, CTRL+2/CTRL+S: Search Dialog, CTRL+3: Shares View. +- Unified look of dialogs. +- Did a major revision of the browser widget (GUI): + + Introduced tooltips that carry information about the network item + underneath the mouse pointer. + + The master browser will be displayed with blue color. + + The popup menu has the highlighted network item as title. + + Improved the "Rescan" action. If you open the popup menu, the selected + workgroup or server will be scanned. If you use the rescan action on + the empty viewport or from the toolbar/menu, the old behavior will + be preserved. + + Moved "Mount Manually" action here. + + Removed obsolete "This computer is already in the list." error + message box. +- Did a major revision of the search dialog (GUI): + + Redesigned the widget and made it a stand-alone dock widget. + + Hosts can be added by simply double clicking them (closes #2247). + + A host that is already in the browse list is underlaid with the + "button_ok" pixmap. This makes the "This computer is already in the + list." message box obsolete (see above). +- Did several changes to the shares view (GUI): + + The popup menu has the share name as title. + + Introduced tooltips that carry the information about the mounted + share. + + Replaced the old icon for broken shares by a a new combined icon + (mounted hard drive overlayed by a semi-transparent cancel icon). + + The item width of the share icons has been enlarged to 500 pixels in + list mode. +- The bookmark editor allows editing of the IP address and workgroup. +- Put Smb4KShareWidgetItem class in own files. +- Removed obsolete options "This master browser needs authentication" and + "Use authentication when querying the workgroup master browsers" from + the configuration dialog. +- When closing the configuration dialog, the root password is only asked, + if the user changed one of the super user options (partially closes #5636). +- The removal of the super user entries from super.tab and/or sudoers is + now determined by the choice in the configuration dialog. +- Rewrote Smb4KSharesMenuWidget class. +- Added new Smb4KShareActionMenu and Smb4KBrowserActionMenu classes. They + contain the actions that were defined in Smb4KShareWidget and + Smb4KBrowserWidget before,respectively. The use of Smb4KShareActionMenu in + the system tray icon closes #5622. +- Replaced deprecated KStdActions. +- Introduced new Smb4KDataItem container for the core classes. +- Revised bookmark handling: + + The bookmark handler does not use KConfig anymore but has its own read + and write functions. Thus, you won't be able to read the bookmark file + with prior versions once you ran Smb4K 0.7.0. + + The bookmarks are now stored with workgroup/domain and IP address (closes + #6316). +- The scanner class underwent a major revision: + + The net command now replaces most of the smbclient command lines. This + substantially simplifies the code and also seems to speed up the + look-up processes. As a consequence, however, the support of Samba 2.2 + has been dropped. + + Implemented list of all discovered hosts in Smb4KScanner. This significantly + reduces the network traffic. + + Moved IP address look-up code to the scanner (and thus removed Smb4KIPFinder + class). + + Introduced a "background process" which processes the IP address look-up + and the gathering of additional information (OS and server string). + + An automatic rescan using the RAP protocol will be initiated if the query + for the shares of a certain host failed because of the wrong protocol + (closes #4417). + + Added possibility to query the current workgroup master browser to + retrieve the browse list. +- Massively changed the entries and groups in the configuration file. + As consequence, Smb4K will be incompatible with prior versions. +- Added ability to synchronize a local copy with a remote share and vice + versa (closes #1940). This feature uses Rsync. A few of the many options + have been stripped, because they are used for transfer from remote hosts, + which is no the case here. +- Information of any share will now be collected by the mounter. Smb4KCore + has been tidied up accordingly. Information of the number of files and + directories has been dropped (for now). +- Removed Catalan, Norwegian Nynorsk, Chinese Traditional (zh_TW) and + Simplified (zh_CN), Russian and Polish translation because they were + unmaintained and hopelessly out-dated. +- Removed the Smb4KShellIO class, because its only purpose was to provide + the Samba version. This is not necessary anymore, because we switched + to Samba 3. +- Introduced smb4k_cat and smb4k_mv utilities to read and copy/move system + config files. +- The handbook shipping with this release actually contains useful information. + However, it is still work in progress. The license of the handbook has been + changed from GFDL to GPL. +- If a user tries to mount an already mounted share, no error message will + be displayed anymore. +- Renamed the global namespace to Smb4KGlobal and several functions inside. +- Centralized the application's timer in the Smb4KGlobal namespace. As a + side effect, this seems to fix the very-fast-vanishing-tooltips problem. +- If the user canceled the writing to /etc/super.tab or /etc/sudoers, the + previous state will be re-established. +- Removed "Specify User" dialog from Smb4KBrowserWidget and moved it to + Smb4KGlobal namespace. Now only core classes are using it. +- Reworked and cleaned up Linux specific code in Smb4KMounter::import(). +- Moved error handling to Smb4KGlobal namespace. The reason is, that the + previous signal/slot model was not able to handle errors during the + initialization of the core. +- Removed Smb4KPasswordHandler::AskPass class and integrated its functionality + into Smb4KPasswordHandler::askpass(). This should fix the compilation errors + encountered when using MIPSpro Compilers on IRIX/MIPS (closes #6811). +- When reading the smb.conf file, a line beginning with a semicolon is valued + as comment. +- Reduced CPU load by stretching the interval between checks for externally + mounted and broken shares from 1000 ms to 2500 ms. + +Smb4K 0.6.10: +- Fixed a bug in smb4k_umount that did not allow the unmounting of a share + when the mount point was quoted. +- Fixed a bug in smb4k_umount that did not allow the unmounting of a broken + share. +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Fixed input validation when using smbclient for searching + (backport from 0.7 branch, closes #7429). +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Fixed broken translations in Konqueror plugin. +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Updated admin directory for autoconf 2.60 support. +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Fixed removal of temporary files after printing. +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Fixed smb4k.desktop file. +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Fixed memory leak in Smb4KPrint::init(). +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Fixed occurrence of annoying error dialog on start-up when + a share had already been mounted. +- [Patch 0.6.10a] Fixed a potential crash in Smb4KBrowserWidget::insertItem(). +- [Patch 0.6.10a] The preview dialog won't accept the contents of a wrong + address anymore. + +Smb4K 0.6.9: +- Integrated startup fix for Samba 2.2 users by Chris Clayton and extented it. +- Updated French and Czech translation. +- The "Remove Entries" button in the "Super User" configuration tab will now + be disabled together with the "Apply" and "OK" button if Smb4K writes to a + system configuration file. + +Smb4K 0.6.8: +- Fixed another bug in the bookmark menu widget. It will again be properly + updated during run time, when bookmarks are added or removed. +- Fixed enabling of "Authentication" action in browser widget. +- Fixed a crash (NULL pointer access) in Smb4KShareWidget::slotMountedShares(), + that was found by Glen Masgai, who also sent the patch. +- Added support of mount.cifs and umount.cifs. This should enable users to + mount CIFS shares as normal user depending on the configuration of the + system and on the presence of these two utilities. NOTE: You have to set the + setuid root bit for both binaries. +- Revised start-up: Smb4K will run on systems where either only smbmount/ + smbumount or mount.cifs/umount.cifs are present. + +Smb4K 0.6.7: +- Fixed a crash in Smb4KBookmarkMenuWidget::insertBookmarks(), that was + introduces by the "fix" in 0.6.6. +- Updated Turkish translation. + +Smb4K 0.6.6: +- Fixed too small buffer size in Smb4KUser on systems with many users and + groups (closes #6070). +- Fixed crash in Smb4KNetworkTab::slotKilled() (closes #3125). +- Fixed these issues found by Marc Hansen (Thanks!): + + crash in Smb4KBrowserWidget::slotMembers() + + searching for illegal strings such as #, ', () shows search command + as search result + + the application might crash if you press "Apply" and "OK" successively + in the configuration dialog and system files have to be written (As + consequence, the OK and the Apply button will be disabled while the + configuration is written to disk.) + + shares are displayed although the user has to supply a password + + printer shares are displayed although they are disabled in the + configuration dialog + + crash in Smb4KBookmarkMenuWidget::insertBookmarks() (closes #6146) + + unusable entries were written when the user bookmarked a 'homes' share + without providing a user name +- Fixed the broken writing to the configuration file and the popping up + of multiple information dialogs in Smb4KPasswordHandler. + +Smb4K 0.6.5: +- Fixed writing to ~/.nsmbrc file under FreeBSD. +- Fixed freezing of Smb4K when a share went offline (closes #3676). Smb4K + will lock-up for a short amount of time if it encounters a broken share + and will then continue its work without any problems. +- Fixed the generation of wrong file permissions for /etc/sudoers and + /etc/super.tab, respectively. The permissions are no longer hard coded, + but the stat() system call is used to read the original permissions that + will then be preserved. +- Introduced global KConfig object and ported all classes to use it. +- Fixed login problem when trying to preview a WinXP share or similar. +- Added support of the 'include' directive in the smb.conf file (closes + #5948). NOTE: The file that is to be included *must* be given with its + full path! +- Moved from getgrgid() to getgrgid_r() in Smb4KUser. This should close the + "Smb4KUser: Could not get group name!" issue also known as #4914. +- KonqSidebar_Smb4K: switched to global config system. Now parameters changed + from the option dialog have effect into the konqueror plugin. +- Executing a network item in the browser by clicking its name (not the [+]) + will show/hide its contents (closes #3352). + +Smb4K 0.6.4: +- REALLY fixed the security issues in Smb4KFileIO. Now, temporary files + and directories are used to copy and modify sensitive data and the lock + file is checked to be not a symlink. +- Fixed unmount-all-shares-on-exit functionality, that was broken due to + changes that were applied to the smb4k_umount utility program in earlier + versions of Smb4K. +- Fixed forced unmounting of shares. +- Fixed running progress bar after you denied the forced unmounting of a + share. +- Fixed missing exit( EXIT_FAILURE ) statement in smb4k_umount utility. +- Fixed several memory leaks. +- Fixed compilation error under FreeBSD. +- The PASSWD environment variable will be preserved when the 'env_reset' + flag has been set in /etc/sudoers (closes #4945). The user needs to + rewrite the entries, though. See FAQ for details. + +Smb4K 0.6.3: +- Fixed security issue: An attacker could get access to the full contents + of the /etc/super.tab or /etc/sudoers file by linking a simple text file + FILE to /tmp/smb4k.tmp and /tmp/sudoers, respectively, because Smb4K didn't + check for the existance of these files before writing any contents. When + using super, the attack also resulted in /etc/super.tab being a symlink to + FILE. +- Included three patches by Montel Laurent, that + + add moc file inclusion to the bookmark editor, + + fix a memory leak in the Konqueror plugin, + + fix ./smb4k/Makefile.am, + + disable the OK button of the mount dialog if the input line is empty. + +Smb4K 0.6.2: +- Fixed security issue: When ignoring the kdesu dialog a copy of the + super.tab file was left under /tmp. +- Error messages won't pop up anymore when ignoring the kdesu dialog. The + reporting of unknown errors has been disabled in + Smb4KFileIO::slotReceivedStderr() (closes #4309). +- Fixed reading of authentication data. +- Removed check for mount.smbfs (under Linux) which is actually needless + because it is either a symlink to smbmount or nonexistent. +- Updated ./admin directory. Smb4K now needs automake 1.9. +- Fixed command line for mount.cifs (closes #4854). The 'domain' instead + of the 'workgroup' option is used. +- Fixed crash when the user clicked the "Show search dialog" action and the + tab group widget wasn't shown. + +Smb4K 0.6.1: +- Improved lock file handling (closes #4310). Now the editing of a system + file is only denied, if another instance of Smb4K (i. e. another user) + is modifying the same system file. Additionally, the lock file will now + be removed (or processed), if the application emits the shutDown() signal. +- Fixed a bug in the code that removes the entries from the sudoers file. +- Fixed wrong assignment of RAP protocol config entry to RPC radio button + in configuration dialog. +- Moved to QString::compare() to compare strings, because "==" caused + crashes under certain circumstances (closes #3604). +- The wallet won't be opened on start-up but when a password is actually + needed. + +Smb4K 0.6.0: +- Rewrote password handling: Added KWallet support as default method + (closes #3695). If you do not want to use KWallet, login information + won't be saved but only stored temporarily. There is also the possibility + to deny the password storage altogether. + ATTENTION: If you deny access to the wallet on the first start-up, all + passwords stored in the passwords file will be lost! +- Improved FreeBSD support. The passwords will now be stored encrypted in + the ~/.nsmbrc file. +- Added Dutch translation. +- Put the core and (most of) the widget classes into shared libraries. +- The DNS won't be queried anymore when doing an IP lookup. +- Added Konqueror plugin by Massimo Callegari (closes #2731). An installation + of KDE Base is necessary to make it compile. +- Moved to default KDE icons for the network items. +- Added support of the 'net' command (closes #2227). This adds the advantage + of the ADS and RPC protocol being used and even very large share names will + be displayed. Additionally, it seems to significantly speed up the lookup + process. Smb4K will automatically use the 'net' command if found on the + system. + There is a disadvantage though: A valid login and password are necessary + to logon to a server. If neither is known, Smb4K will try to authenticate + with the 'guest' user and an empty password. This will work with (almost + all) Windows machines and with Samba servers that have set the security + option to SHARE. For all others you will have to provide a login and + password. +- Added namespace Smb4K_Global which contains functions used by several + classes. +- Improved KAction handling in popup menus. +- Added a patch by Nuts Mueller that adds /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin + to the paths that are searched by the utility programs. +- Added a patch by Steven Lawrance that fixes buffer size problems in + the Smb4KUser constructor. +- Fixed mounting via bookmarks (ampersand issue). +- Added FAQ file. +- Redesigned some widgets in the configuration dialog. +- Cleaned many strings from full stops and exclamation marks (closes #2869). +- Fixed crash in Smb4KBrowserWidget::slotAddIPAddress() that occurred when + opening a workgroup (closes #3351). Thanks go to Nuts Mueller who helped + me finding the problem. +- Implemented 'iocharset' option for CIFS mounts (closes #4071). +- Fixed mounting of CIFS shares. The file_mode and dir_mode options were not + provided in octal which resulted in broken mounts that could not be accessed. +- Fixed the "probably not smb-filesystem" issue (closes #1837). + +Smb4K 0.5.2: +- Fixed naming of Norwegian translations. +- Fixed crash that appeared when trying to determine the disk usage. Thanks + go to Bamfox who helped me finding the problem. +- Added Icelandic and Danish translation; updated Chinese Simplified + translation. +- Added additional cleaning of the mount prefix on exit. +- Added patch by Yura Pakhuchiy that fixes wrong IP address resolution for + hosts starting with a hyphen. +- Fixed problems with special characters in passwords (closes #3444, #3728). +- The warning that Konqueror might hang if you open CIFS shares will only be + shown with KDE <= 3.3.92. Thanks go to Stefan Gehn (aka mETz) who send a + patch. +- Fixed compilation errors under FreeBSD. +- Improved printing by switching to smbspool. + +Smb4K 0.5.1: +- Reduced CPU load by using QDir::isReadable() and QDir::exists() instead + of QDir::entryList() to determine if a share is broken and by increasing + the check interval for external mounts/unmounts. +- Fixed crash that occurred when trying to forcibly unmount a (broken) + share (should close #3029). +- Fixed mandatory password input for browsing (unprotected) WinXP shares. +- Added patch #303 by Ian Abbott that fixes the failure of smb4k_mount, + smb4k_umount and smb4k_kill in the case the user does not have read + access to mount/umount/smbmount/smbumount/kill (closes #3094). +- Updated French translation. +- Added Chinese (Taiwan) translation. Thanks go to Jack Liu. +- Fixed unmounting of hidden shares. + +Smb4K 0.5.0: +- Only one instance of Smb4K can be started (closes #2636). +- The hide/close behavior is now KDE compliant. +- Removed Smb4KStarter class and distributed its duties to the Smb4KCore + class and the main() function. +- Added support of sudo (closes #2222). +- Added support of the CIFS file system (closes #1874). Samba 3 is required. +- Introduced smb4k_mount, smb4k_umount, and smb4k_kill utilities and ported + classes to use them. This fixes several security concerns regarding the + use of mount and umount with super (and sudo). +- Closed several memory leaks. +- Replaced the QSplitters in the main window by KDockWidgets. Now, you can + move the network browser and tab widget around or even detach them. +- Removed the Smb4KView class. +- Moved to nice KActionMenus. This included a complete rewrite of the + Smb4KSystemTray and Smb4KBookmarkMenuWidget classes (closes #2007). +- Mounted shares are optically advertized in the browser widget. +- If the mountpoint can't be created, an error message will be emitted and + the mounter will exit. +- Every mountpoint within the mount prefix will automatically be removed + after the share was unmounted. This made the "Clean up default directory + on exit." option obsolete. +- Share names containing blanks are fully supported. LIMITATION: If Smb4K + cannot figure out, that the share contains a blank instead of an + underscore, the latter one will be shown. +- Removed the readOptions() functions from the core classes. Options are + now read when they are needed (i.e. at the beginning of a function). +- Changed the format of the entries in the super.tab file. It's not + compatible with the old one and will be converted on the first program + start. +- Revised Smb4KBookmarkHandler class and moved the bookmark editor to its + own class. +- Disk usage information is now provided by the statvfs() system call. + *** Program freezes may still happen if the network connection is bad or + the share vanishes. Help is wanted to fix this issue! *** +- Improved Smb4KShareWidgetItem class and cleaned up Smb4KShareWidget class. +- Added Czech and Turkish translations. Thanks go to Alois Nespor and G�kem + Cetin. +- Added "Super User" tab to configuration dialog and moved the "Super User + Privileges" options there. +- Reorganized and cleaned up the configuration file. +- Restricted the "Unmount all shares on exit." option to those shares that + are owned by the user. +- Removed "obsolete" '-N' options from smbclient commands. Instead '-U %' + is used which serves the same purpose. +- Fixed searching for hosts via smbclient. Hosts that are not available are + no longer reported as existent. +- Added the ability to mount shares manually (closes #1640, #2546). +- Redesigned the askpass dialog and added information why it is shown + (closes #2226). +- IP addresses are now also assigned correctly if host names are partly the + same (closes #2769). +- Improved support of FreeBSD. +- Included patch #286 by Andrei Bulava to add codepage cp1251 to Linux charset + selection (closes #2962). +- Enhanced source code documentation. +- Broken shares (i.e. empty CDROM shares, etc.) are marked as such and the + user will only be able to unmount them. No other actions may be performed. + (closes #2998, #3000) + REMARK: This feature does not include shares that got unavailable due to + the shut-down of a server. This issue is still NOT solved. + +Smb4K 0.4.1a: +- Fixed severe bug in Smb4KMounter::unmountAll(), which led under certain + circumstances to complete data loss on remote shares. Thanks go to Jeremy + Shaw for informing us and sending a patch. +- Updated French and Polish translations. +- Added missing connection to Smb4KApp::slotQuit() to system tray. + +Smb4K 0.4.1: +- Fixed multiple occurrences of workgroups in the browser widget. +- Fixed malfunction when super program was chosen and became deinstalled. +- Fixed handling of passwords with special characters (closes #2146). +- Fixed problems opening shares with Konqueror by moving from + KApplication::invokeBrowser() to KRun. +- Fixed two potential crashes by adding NULL pointers to the return statements + of Smb4KMounter::findShareByName() and Smb4KMounter::findShareByPath(). +- Fixed blocking of KDE's logout if the main window was open. +- Added Smb4KCore class as container for all core classes. +- Centralized error message handling in Smb4KCore. +- Added error messages for errors that might occur while trying to mount + a share. +- Added ability to print PS and PDF files directly over the net (closes #1737). + This is still experimental. To have full functionality, you'll have to have + the programs 'dvips' and 'enscript' installed. +- Added error codes to smb4kdefs.h file and ported core classes to use them. +- Added Japanese, Bulgarian and Norwegian translations. Thanks go to Toyohiro + Asukai, Atanas Mavrov and Nils Kristian Tomren for providing them. +- Removed abandoned Russian and Catalan translations. +- Added several codepages (closes #2094). +- Added Smb4KShellIO class, that takes care of all shell IO operations, + that are not connected to mounting and unmounting of shares and network + operations. Moved Smb4KShareTab's shell operations there. +- Printer shares are shown by default. +- Changed default behavior if a WINS server was found: The network instead + of the WINS will be queried to get the browse list. +- Revised the configuration dialog. Most important change is, that the + config dialog does not need that much space anymore. +- Sped up the retrieval of IP addresses in the Smb4KIPFinder class. +- Revised mouse handling in Smb4KShareWidget class. +- Smb4K can detect the IP address also with Samba pre-releases correctly. +- Ported Smb4KScanner, Smb4KBrowserWidget and Smb4KBrowserWidgetItem classes + to use Smb4K*Item containers. +- Revised code in Smb4KPasswdReader class and renamed several functions. +- Rewrote program detection in Smb4KStarter (closes #1861). +- Major revision of Smb4KMounter class. Many functions have been modified + and many bugs fixed. + +Smb4K 0.4.0: +- This version REQUIRES KDE 3.2.0 or higher. +- Fixed unmounting of all shares upon exit. +- Fixed several memory leaks (closes #1144). +- Fixed layout problem with Plastik theme in the network tab of the + configuration dialog. +- Fixed unmounting of shares that contain parentheses. +- Added ability to execute mount and umount SUID root. This feature requires + the program super [ftp://ftp.ucolick.org/pub/users/will/]. +- Added ability to force the unmounting of dead shares (closes #764). This + feature requires Linux kernel 2.4.11 or later, a recent util-linux package + and the program super. +- Added the ability to bookmark shares (closes #1319). +- Added special handling of 'homes' shares. +- Added system tray icon for the application with the ability to open mounted + shares and to open the configuration dialog. It shows also available + bookmarks. +- With the implementation of the system tray, the application is started + minimized. +- Added support of advanced Samba options (closes #1359 and #1488). +- Added ability to authenticate to master browsers when retrieving browse + lists (closes #1439). +- Added ability to select the program used for network searches (closes #1501). +- Added searching for hosts via IP addresses. +- Added detection, displaying and usage of IP addresses. +- Added user and group information to the "Share" tab. +- Added the ability to allow the user to unmount shares that are not owned by + him/her. This feature is off by default. +- Added "Quit" and "Configure Smb4K..." action to toolbar. +- Added French, Slovak and Spanish translation. Thanks go to Nicolas Ternisien + Michal Sulek and Quique for providing them. +- Revised the Smb4KStarter class: added detection of mandatory programs and + Samba's version; added error message box that reports missing programs; + removed the splash screen; moved the mounting of recently used shares to the + Smb4KMounter class. +- Revised the Smb4KPasswdReader class and removed some bugs. +- Revised the Smb4KShareWidget and Smb4KShareWidgetItem classes. +- Improved the error messages of the configuration dialog. +- Improved the status bar message handling and made Smb4K more communicative. +- Revised the process of handling the list of mounted shares centralizing it + with Smb4KShare +- Moved error dialogs to the core classes. +- Moved desktop entry to category "Utilities". + +Smb4K 0.3.2: +- Fixed crash in Smb4KBrowserWidget class (closes #1145). +- Fixed hanging when exiting after long use. +- Fixed generation of wrong address entry after using the combo box to + switch directories in the preview dialog. +- Fixed a bug in search tab, that led to an insertion attempt of a non-existent + share when clicking 'Add' after clearing. +- Fixed handling of passwords containing special characters (closes #1182). +- Fixed compilation error with KDE 3.2 pre-releases. +- Added ability to force the generated subdirectories to be lower case. +- Added weak password obfuscation. NOTE: After the first use the authentication + info won't be usable for prior version of Smb4K. +- Added ability to hide shares that are not owned by the user. +- Added Brazilian Portuguese, Ukrainian, and Hungarian translation. Thanks go + to Giovanni Degani, Ivan Petrouchtchak, and Karoly Barcza for providing them. +- Added ability to navigate through the main window's tabs by pressing the + shortscuts CTRL+1/2/3. +- Added OS and version detection. +- Added credits. +- Added default login (closes #1133). +- Added support for empty passwords (closes #1268 and #1269). +- Removed the preview's info dialog. +- Revised shares view: major feature enhancements and new look. +- Revised the Smb4KMounter class: major improvements and bug fixes. +- Revised the Smb4KScanner class: major improvements and bug fixes. +- Revised share tab. +- Revised network browser widget. +- Revised configuration dialog; renamed and added pages; options will also + be reread when pressing "Apply"; moved some configuration entries. +- Rewrote Smb4KStarter class and added major enhancements. +- Rewrote internal communication infrastructure. +- Renamed some pages of the configuration dialog (and their classes too). +- All buttons now respect KDE's global option "Show icons on buttons". +- Unified error message boxes. + +Smb4K 0.3.1: +- Fixed a crash in the browse window. +- Fixed duplicate share entries. +- Added status messages for the mount process. +- Added titles to the pop-up menus. +- Added progress bar to the splash screen. +- Added Chinese (zh_CN) and Russian translation. Thanks go to Nick Chen + and Yudin Stanislav for providing them. +- Added monitoring of selected share to "Share" tab. +- Added ability to open a share by executing it. +- Revised internal communication of the program parts. +- Revised core classes: many changes and bug fixes were done; source + code documentation has been improved. +- Improved the authentication tab of the configuration dialog. +- Improved preview dialog and fixed handling of hidden files/directories. +- Improved error handling of the browse code. +- Improved status bar and added progress bar to it. +- Improved WINS server support. +- The search function now uses nmblookup, which makes it more reliable. +- The "ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess" error message is now respected by the mounter. +- Only one global password reader instance is used. +- And, as always: Some more improvements and minor bug fixes. + +Smb4K 0.3.0a: +- Fixed crash upon start-up. + +Smb4K 0.3.0: +- Fixed faulty checking during mount process. +- Fixed the host-in-wrong-workgroup problem. +- Fixed truncated workgroup entries, if the WINS server was queried. +- Fixed crash, if the user pressed CTRL+U and no share was highlighted. +- Fixed bug in the "Unmount All" routine. +- Fixed bug #765: Shares that contain spaces (e. g. "Shared Files") are + handled correctly. +- Added popup menu to the browser window. +- Added preview of network shares. +- Added authentication dialog. +- Added request buffering to the browse and mount code. +- Added selection of the look-up method. +- Added directory info to "Share" tab; made overall improvements. +- Added type info to the "Network" tab. +- Added nice caption. +- Added Polish translation. Thanks go to Radoslaw Zawartko for providing it. +- Added detection of external mounts/unmounts during program run. +- Improved "splash screen". +- /usr/local/etc (FreeBSD) is searched for smb.conf, too. +- Merged Smb4KSearch and Smb4KScanner core classes. +- Removed KProcess::setEnvironment() stuff from the browse and mount code. + It only caused problems. +- Changed password handling. Passwords for single shares can be defined. + Unfortunaltelly, it is INCOMPATIBLE with the old one. Sorry, folks! +- Scanning for Server and OS info is only done, if it is necessary. +- Clicking onto an empty space in the browser window will hide the entries + in the "Network" tab. +- And, as always: Some more improvements and minor bug fixes. + +Smb4K 0.2.1: +- Fixed hanging of Smb4K when exiting via File->Quit. +- Fixed wrong master entry for hosts, that were added by a network search. +- Fixed duplicate workgroup entries. +- Fixed several problems in the browse code. +- Fixed a crash in the "Logins" config tab. +- Improved the "Network" and "Share" tab. +- Improved the share view's popup menu. +- Redesigned the configuartion dialog.
