0.8.030 Jun 2021 03:16
minor feature:
The config option 'purge_after' has been deprecated and replaced
With 'expire_age' ('purge_after' will still be accepted, but the user
Will be given a deprecation warning).
.
When '-u' is used, the mrl file will no longer be removed, but.
Emptied instead. If a user gives the '-u' option when the mrl file is
Empty, they will get a friendlier message stating that there are no
Items in the list (instead of an error message about the file not
Being found).
.
Handling of dot dirs ('.' and '..'). Instead of giving an.
Error message and quitting, rmw will print a message stating that
They'll be skipped.
.
The environmental variable RMWTEST_HOME has been replaced with.
RMW_FAKE_HOME (Trying to use RMWTEST_HOME will give a deprecation
Warning and still work).
.
Expanded the man page and updated the README (improved documentation).
.
Replaced autotools build system with meson.
.
Rmw now uses the canfigger library for parsing the configuration file.
.
Disabled a restore test that failed when 'make check' is run with
Superuser privileges.

Then later try to restore with rmw. See#299 for more
Information).
.
list output (rmw -lv) shows all removable devices as.
Attached even for those that are detached.
.
Removed deprecated config option (purgeDays).

0.7.0602 Mar 2021 05:45
minor feature:
0.7.06 (2021-03-01)
------------------
* When using -s,--select, the number of lines the terminal has will be checked. The number of items in the list will be based on that; if it doesn't meet the minumum requirement, rmw will exit.
+ Allow optional argument to -g/--purge that can override the value of 'purge_after' in the configuration file (-g N_DAYS , --purge =N_DAYS ).
* bugfix: restore broken symbolic links instead of giving a "file not found" message (issue #292)
* Improved handling of file with leading hyphens
- When an invalid option is given, usage output no longer displays
* You can view how many days remain until a file is purged by using -vv (with -fg).
* If lstat() encounters and error, also display the filename/directory it was attempting to access.
+ add '-m, --most-recent-list' option: list most recently rmw'ed files
0.7.0518 Jun 2020 00:05
minor feature:
For compiling with gcc 10 (Thanks to muralikodali and GazL)
.
Rmw will now refuse to move a waste folder or a file that resides.
Within a waste folder (This feature was in place before, but at some
Point Andy accidentally removed the code).
.
Feature removed: restore with '-z' using only the basename from any.
Directory. User must be in a Trash directory or specify the full path
(e.g. rmw -z /.local/share/Trash/foo.bar). For details, see.
.
Added '-R' option, changed '--recurse' option to '--recursive'.
Added recursive (rm compatibility) options in --help output, message shown when using '-r, --recursive'
.
Broken purge test.
0.7.0413 Aug 2019 03:15
minor feature:
To get user's home dir, revert back to retrieving via environmental
Variable (conforms to FreeDesktop Trash Spec)
.
The config file is now read from XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rmwrc or.
/.config/rmwrc.
.
Lastpurge is now 'purge-time' and stored in XDG_DATA_HOME/rmw or.
/.local/share/rmw.
.
Lastrmw is now 'mrl' and stored in XDG_DATA_HOME/rmw or.
/.local/share/rmw.
.
The default Waste folder (specified in the configuration file) is now.
/.local/share/Waste instead of /trash.rmw.
.
The /.config/rmw directory is no longer used. It can be deleted.
But you may first want to copy your old configuration file to the new
Location.
0.7.0307 Aug 2019 03:15
minor feature:
Rmw now gets the user's HOMEDIR from a passwd struct (seehttps://linux.die.net/man/3/getpwnam), not from the environmental
Variable.
.
A waste folder can now use the UID (user id) variable. Example:
/mnt/fs/Trash- UID.
.
Because rmw automatically creates a config file in the user's home.
Directory, rmw no longer searches in /etc (or /usr/local/etc..) for rmwrc.
It can be removed from your system if installed previously.
.
A lot of code clean-up and refactoring since the last release.
0.7.0213 Jul 2019 03:11

feature_add:Emptying the waste folders is now done with the
-e,--empty option
