done

March 6th, 2008 | General

Today is the last day where the gvfs team is allowed to fix issues without getting spanked by the release team. And I’m already done. The feature set I wanted to have working for ftp in Gnome 2.22 is working, there’s no more bugs and even seb128 said it doesn’t crash. That was a pretty tough 2 week coding marathon but gvfs is pretty stable, at least for the sort of stresstesting I am doing in Nautilus. An example screenshot of such stresstesting can be seen here. So happy playing for everybody with a non-sucking VFS for 2.22. Go Alex!

I’m also looking forward to the next Linux desktop releases with gvfs. I’ve heard that transfer speed over sftp is greatly improved, have you been able to witness this?

Good news. Will this all make btw a subversion nautilus integration finally possible/viable? There is nothing like TortoiseSVN for Linux :-(

I trust a gvfs is (so far :) very well written if this can be accomplished correctly in so little time, with the devs even enjoying it. Great effort for all that have worked on gvfs!

Looks nice! Thanks for your work!

does that means we can now change chmod over ftp ?

No, you can’t CHMOD or resume downloads yet. Those were not on my list of features for 2.22.0 – it would be boring if there’s nothing more to do. ;)

Well, I’m not a regular FTP user, but all I can say is, I take my hat off! Thanks a lot for such an impressive work done in such a tight time frame!

Company rocks.

Another word to swfdec, how about a whitelist for sites which will definetly work?

So Flash could actually become comfortable again.

With Gnash offering this, I think that would be good for competition.

For example Youtube.com never crashed SWFdec, did it?

Hi all,
Can I use this functionality on Hardy? Any way to test the same?
