Filu / News: Recent posts

The good news: Filu is not dead and still loved by the author
As the replacement for the passed away gitorious is the the master repo now available at GitHub

The bad news: Filu is not actively maintained since a number of months, not to say years.

The ugly news: I have no idea if something is currently broken. Any feedback is welcome.

With small improvements which make some things more user and provider friendly.
There are also some new scripts available which make the installation less
painfully, especially on Debian and Fedora systems where you have only run one
script. Install on a slow Netbook with Ubuntu take around 10min.

ManagerF can now hide the page icons by a splitter and the indicator editor
is a little bit less pesky.... read more
