0.4 Release

0.4 has just been released and can be found at the usual place. There will be no more source releases as it's become too difficult and complex to prune the source tree and produce simple, easy to set up builders. The source is still available in version control and 0.4 is tagged in the mercurial repo.

In this release, Chungles has now become a framework with UI delegated to plugins. There is now a specific OS X version with a full cocoa interface to handle threading issues created by the new layout. Notifications are now delivered when a remote client is sending or retrieving files. The SWT interface displays this as a balloon. A growl plugin will be released soon to provide notifications for OS X. The windows installer can now automatically retrieve and install a Java JRE if you do not have one, making Chungles easier to distribute.

Various plugins will be released as they are finished separate from releases. This release will appear similar to the last with the UI bundled for the appropriate OS with the core. It launches out of box with the UI configured and ready to go. The next release will include a security framework to allow authentication and permissions for files and directories, as well as basic plugins to handle username/password authentication and access control lists.

At some point I will try and release a working WebDAV plugin for 0.4. Most of it is working, just not on windows ;)

Enjoy!
