The Krusader Krew is pleased to announce the latest stable release of
Krusader 1.70.0. Krusader is fully integrated with the KDE Desktop
Environment and operates reliably in all Linux graphical environments.

This release focuses on operability and visibility of some user
interface elements.

Krusader v1.70.0 contains over 40 changes, bug fixes and updates in
response to reports and requests from our users. In addition to the
increased stability new features enhance operability and visibility of
interface elements like improved application search results, including
octal permissions column, filters for selecting files with filter
example in the totals line and more colorful synchronizer. An
auto-configuring tool was added for easier resolving of dependencies,
and also new, various generic file checksum creating and verifying
tools, which support md5, sha1, sha256, and other. This new checksum
tool also allows recursive actions, that are unique among other file
managers.

In this version Krusader's icon is set according to the user's
privileges, which adds additional security for administrative
management with ability to set the panel startup as profile based
instead of directory based.

Column types can now be changed and saved individually to each panel
to increase customizability. Special focus was primarily set on expert
features of file operations with selecting remote encoding menu for
fish, ftp and sftp protocols, calculating space in archives and remote
FS and ability to preserve date for local targets at copy and move. In
addition a lot of attention was focused on  improvement of
performance, especially when reading large directory structures.

New release also started redefining usage with shortcut features like
opening history on the current panel, a Safari-like Jump-Back feature
and opening the current folder in a new tab, clear-location-bar button
and adding some common firefox and konqueror shortcuts. For users that
prefer using mouse the right mouse click menu introduced trash,
delete, shred options, a create new sub menu and ability to
synchronize only selected files. Added QuickNavigation module allows
faster   navigation through complex directory structures using both
mouse and keyboard.

This version also improved internal editor's functioning with a
support for tabbed editing and ability to open new file  in new tab of
already active editor. Selecting files for editing and viewing is
easier with new search ability to display the line containing the
searched text.

Version 1.70.0 also introduces i18n multiple plural support.

This is only a short overview of features that come with new version.
