[Ftpcube-general] Ftpcube 0.5.0-b1

[Michael G. <mg...@ee...>]

After a long hiatus and due to popular demand, Ftpcube is
back with some new, long-awaited features. The long-awaited
modular SFTP support is now included. The SFTP support gains
the full benefits of the Ftpcube engine, with multi-threaded
downloading, queueing, etc. The underlying transport
mechanism is modular; Only when the Paramiko SSH library is
installed will SFTP support be enabled. Ftpcube allows for
both FTP & SFTP transfer requests to live simultaneously in
the transfer queue.

In addition, this release brings Ftpcube up to wxPython
v2.6.3.3 or greater. This is a beta release for the 0.5.x
line and includes several other features in addition to SFTP
support.

Please note - the configuration file format has changed.
Please see the README for more details.

ChangeLog:

>From 0.4.4 to 0.5.0-b1:

* Ported up to wxPython 2.6.3.3. This required changing the way that
events were processed, changing the use of sizers, removing the
deprecated wxFloatBar, and other various incompatibilities.

* Fixed code formatting to match Python standard. Code now also
includes documentation. Yay!

* Added the much anticipated SFTP support using the Paramiko SSH
module. This feature also includes the finalization of the modular
protocol structure.

*Fixed various multi-threaded code issues Configuration files now use
INI style configuration formats and are much more human readable

* Added support for unpacking .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 archives.

* Clearing the cache now doesn't interfere with the remote change
directory window based on the cache.

* The URL schema should now work with sftp

* Ftpcube is now much more windows friendly.
