CHANGE LOG *bufexplorer-changelog*
-7.2.2 - Fix:
+7.2.8 - Enhancements:
+ * Thanks to Charles Campbell for integrating bufexplorer with GDBMGR.
+ http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#GDBMGR
+7.2.7 - Fix:
+ * My 1st attempt to fix the "cache" issue where buffers information
+ has changed but the cache/display does not reflect those changes.
+ More work still needs to be done.
+7.2.6 - Fix:
+ * Thanks to Michael Henry for pointing out that I totally forgot to
+ update the inline help to reflect the previous change to the 'd'
+ and 'D' keys. Opps!
+7.2.5 - Fix:
+ * Philip Morant suggested switching the command (bwipe) associated
+ with the 'd' key with the command (bdelete) associated with the 'D'
+ key. This made sense since the 'd' key is more likely to be used
+ compared to the 'D' key.
+7.2.4 - Fix:
+ * I did not implement the patch provided by Godefroid Chapelle
+ correctly. I missed one line which happened to be the most
+ important one :)
+7.2.3 - Enhancements:
+ * Thanks to David Fishburn for helping me out with a much needed
+ code overhaul as well as some awesome performance enhancements.
+ He also reworked the handling of tabs.
+ * Thanks to Vladimir Dobriakov for making the suggestions on
+ enhancing the documentation to include a better explaination of
+ what is contained in the main bufexplorer window.
+ * Thanks to Yuriy Ershov for added code that when the bufexplorer
+ window is opened, the cursor is now positioned at the line with the
+ active buffer (useful in non-MRU sort modes).
+ * Yuriy also added the abiltiy to cycle through the sort fields in
+ reverse order.
+ Fixes:
+ * Thanks to Michael Henry for supplying a patch that allows
+ bufexplorer to be opened even when there is one buffer or less.
+ * Thanks to Godefroid Chapelle for supplying a patch that fixed
+ MRU sort order after loading a session.
+7.2.2 - Fixes:
* Thanks to David L. Dight for spotting and fixing an issue when
using ctrl^. bufexplorer would incorrectly handle the previous
buffer so that when ctrl^ was pressed the incorrect file was opened.
-7.2.1 - Fix:
+7.2.1 - Fixes:
* Thanks to Dimitar for spotting and fixing a feature that was
inadvertently left out of the previous version. The feature was
when bufexplorer was used together with WinManager, you could use
*compliant*, adding default keymappings of <Leader>be and <Leader>bs
as well as fixing the 'w:sortDirLabel not being defined' bug.
6.0.3 - Added sorting capabilities. Sort taken from explorer.vim.
-6.0.2 - Can't remember.
+6.0.2 - Can't remember. (2001-07-25)
6.0.1 - Initial release.
===============================================================================
TODO *bufexplorer-todo*
-- The issuing of a ':bd' command does not always remove the buffer number from
- the MRU list.
+- Nothing as of now, buf if you have any suggestions, drop me an email.
