Dragging a file to Wallpaper now sets it as the backdrop image directly. This also means you can put Wallpaper on your 'Send To' menu to get a 'Set As Wallpaper' effect.

Fedora Core 4 and Ubuntu RPMs were added. The new Lithium, SystemTrayN and Postal applets are now included.

Side panels can be managed by ROX-Filer, but by default they are not turned on. They allow you to create short-cuts to files, directories and applications. Panels work much like the pinboard (the desktop background), except that they come to the front when the mouse hits the edge of the screen and the layout is more rigid. You can also run small programs called applets inside a panel.

Updated for current ROX-CLib version.

Bug fixes:

• Fix install of MIME handlers when using the injector.
• If the frame file is missing, try getting the initial frame (fixes problem with short files having erroneous lengths).
• handle UTF-8 filenames (reported by Benjamin Peter).

Converted from OSS to ALSA interface. OSS support will be deprecated and only supported in the older versions.

This was previously announced to the Mailing list as Battery-001. Since then (a whole 24 hours), I decided to change the name to Lithium and fix ACPI support. I also added PowerMac PMU support.

Now supports DBUS 0.3x and later.

Added support for DBUS 0.3x (and later) when using DownloadManager

I've been using subversion (a CVS replacement) to manage the zero-install software ever since SF.net announced they'd be supporting it in the new year (this was in 2004, I think ;-). It's been working well, except that it was on my local machine so no-one else could access it.

SF.net have finally deployed a beta subversion service to certain projects, including zero-install, and they've imported my local repository. You can check out the latest by following the instructions.

You should be able to get the whole thing like this:

$ svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zero-install/trunk zero-install
