Krusader-2.0.0 "Mars Pathfinder"
================================
The Krew is proud to present the first stable KDE4 release of your favourite
file manager! The development process was all about porting, all dependencies
to the Qt3 support libs have been removed. This is the first stable that comes
with experimental support for the Windows platform. Who thought that day will
ever come?

Even though this release contains quite a bunch of new features our main focus
was to create a KDE4 version that is ready for everyday use. Overall the
release is very usable but might contain bugs that haven't been present in
prior versions. Please provide us bug reports, feedback and patches to make it
as solid as the KDE3 version. Many thanks to everyone who supported us in the
porting process!

The highlights of this release are:

- Archive dialog now remembers Compression level
- View properties for detailed/brief/interviews are merged into one
- Bugfixes
- I18n updates

Changes since 2.0.0-beta2 (but not limited to):

- Queue manager
 Enqueue operation for copy / move operations
 Use F5 (copy) or F6 (move) and than F2 to enqueue
 Or the direct shortcuts: copy by queue (SHIFT+F5), move by queue (SHIFT+F6)
- Five sorting methods
- Support for tar.lzma (KDE's tar protocol doesn't support it yet)
- Konfigurator mouse selection mode: Possibility to select a predefined
 mode and change a detail.
- Highlight quick search match
- Useractions: added checkbox "enabled"
 and run mode option "Run in embedded terminal emulator"
- The description of a dir contains its size if it is known
- Many, many bugfixes

Changes since 2.0.0-beta1 (but not limited to):
