Hello, Emacs Community!
For those who don't know yet, the Sunrise Commander is a powerful and
versatile twin-pane file manager for GNU Emacs built on top of Dired,
inspired by the Midnight Commander and heavily influenced by the OFM
specification (http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/index.shtml).
Year 2010 brought to the Sunrise Commander a lot of improvements and
a few original new features. Here is a list of the most important and
noteworthy changes made since version 4 (r244) was first published:
NEW FEATURES:
* Added progress feedback for all synchronous copy, clone, rename and
directory comparison operations (using the standard Emacs progress
reporter).
* Created Tree View Extension which provides a hierarchical view of
directories that can be used for fast navigation, as well as for
several basic operations on files and directories. For more details
and screenshots see:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Sunrise_Commander#toc8
* Added Fuzzy Narrow command (C-c /), which allows to interactively
refine the contents of the current pane using fuzzy (a.k.a. flex or
scatter) matching, in a similar way as Text Mate's Command-T works,
but with some extra features (like using ! to prefix characters
that should *not* occur after a certain position).
* Added Sticky Search command (C-c s), which launches an interactive
search in the current pane and maintains it active while navigating
from directory to directory until a regular file is hit or C-g is
pressed to interrupt the search.
* Created ELPA repository, which allows to easily install Sunrise and
any of its extensions using the ELPA package management system. For
more details see:
http://joseito.republika.pl/sunrise-commander/
* Added support for Desktop (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DeskTop)
in the core Sunrise Commander as well as in all relevant extensions
--- Allows to save the state of the panes, tabs, etc. between Emacs
sessions.
* Added Create Files command (M-+), which allows to create an empty
file by giving its name in the current directory, or (when invoked
with a numerical prefix) any number of files with names numbered
according to a provided formatting string, using decimal (%d),octal
(%o) or hexadecimal (%x) digits.
MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS:
* DOES NOT BREAK TRAMP any more when AVFS support is disabled (thanks
Haines Brown for reporting this problem and helping fixing it).
* Faster and more reliable "compare panes by contents" function (uses
md5 digest memoization).
* Improvements in terminal integration:
- Line mode is preserved across invocations of sr-term (C-c t),
- Added binding (C-c t) to launch a new terminal directly from
another one.
- Added revert buffer of the active pane from the command line,
- Added panes-resizing operations (min, max, reset) from the
command line.
- Terminal buffers are now automatically closed when their
processes finish.
* Find can be now limited to the selected (marked) items in the
active pane.
* Locate is now executed in the background, without locking Emacs.
* More uniform interface for find and locate operations: both are
asynchronous, can be fired similarly and aborted using the same
binding (C-c C-k).
* Traditional commander key bindings (F1...F10, Ins, etc) are enabled
by default now. Added new option sr-use-commander-keys that can be
customized to toggle their use without restarting Emacs.
OTHER CHANGES AND BUGFIXES:
* Fixed handling of iso9660 images and patch files via AVFS.
* The width of the panes is now correctly maintained when maximizing
or minimizing their height. It is also sticky across successive
invocations of Sunrise.
* Browsing files inside a text browser (e.g. w3m) after pressing "b"
in Sunrise works now like a quick view: it can be scrolled and
closed from inside the FM with the usual bindings (C-e, C-y, Space,
M-Space and C-u C-v)
* Fixed sr-find-file (C-x C-f) --- works now correctly for all types
of objects in the filesystem, not just files.
* Fixed refresh of path line in console displays.
* Fixed focus of origin subdirectory when moving up in the filesystem
using the path line.
* Added separate face settings for TTY displays.
* Bound Space and M-Space to page scrolling in quick view.
* Improved MC-compatible keybindings: added C-F3/F4/F5/F6 for sorting
and S-F7 for soft-linking.
* When visiting a regular file, the original windows configuration is
now correctly restored.
* Bound "C-x k" to sr-quit.
CHANGES IN BUTTONS EXTENSION:
* Added generic (buffer-local) handler for commands in the Sunrise
Buttons extension.
* Added new commands to panel: Clone (K), Search (A) and Fuzzy Narrow
(C-c /).
* Buttons panel doesn't clobber terminal or quick view anymore.
CHANGES IN LOOP EXTENSION:
* Added progress feedback for asynchronous copy, clone and rename
operations.
CHANGES IN MIRROR EXTENSION (released as version 2):
* Added navigation inside and out of mirror areas.
* Added separate face for the pane path when in mirror mode.
CHANGES IN MODELINE EXTENSION:
* Improved mode indicators in Mode Line extension: instead of one
unique icon for everything, there are now tree for different
(orthogonal) states of the pane. See
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Sunrise_Commander#toc6 for details.
* The mode line now displays absolute paths always.
CHANGES IN TABS EXTENSION:
* The sr-tabs-remove commands (C-k, M-C-k) can be now prefixed with a
digit to kill arbitrary tabs in the active or passive pane by their
relative orders (starting from 1).
* Added new bindings "* C-k" and "* M-C-k" to wipe off all currently
displayed tabs either from the active or the passive pane.
* Added new bindings for tab-switching: M-Tab and C-M-Tab.
* Improved sr-tabs-kill-and-go (C-x k) function -- logically extends
sr-quit.
* Removed soft dependency on cl-seq.el.

Hi! As I understand this list for getting HELP on GNU Emacs.
Some times people post ANNONCE to this list.
I check some info about Emacs news resources:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsNewsgroups
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsMailingLists
but not found appropriate list.
I assume that news:comp.emacs is right place.
Can any one explain?
Also please tell which NNTP services usually used (which allow publishing)
and where find archive for news:comp.emacs?

AFAIK, new packages and packages upgrades are expected to be posted on
gnu.emacs.sources.

gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org is a mailing list for this (Jose also posted the same
message there).
Someone else will no doubt let you know about an appropriate news group.

Hello Oleksandr,
Indeed, that is what that "help" thingy in the name of the news group
suggests, isn't it?
So, what could I possibly be looking for by posting to such a group?
Salvation? Greater Glory? Nah, I'd rather post to gnu.emacs.save-me,
or comp.emacs.greater-glory if that were the case ;-)
What I'm looking for is (you guessed it) HELP -- Help in the form of
people trying out this stuff and telling me it sucks big time, and
why is it so, or that they love some of it and why, and what in their
opinion could be done to make it better. Or maybe from time to time
some piece of code to replace some part that is poorly written, or to
add some nifty new feature I would never think about by myself.
I started this project with two goals in mind: to learn Emacs really
well, and to have at my disposition a file manager that really kicks
ass. IMHO I'm doing well, but I still haven't reached these goals to
my entire satisfaction, so that's why I'm here giving this stuff away
for free and making noise around: to get help. Since people do help,
I keep doing it :-)
Maybe you are willing to help too?
Cheers,

I for example wouldn't have found out about this very interesting
project if it weren't for your announcement. :)
