  will be given a deprecation warning).

• When '-u' is used, the mrl file will no longer be removed, but
  emptied instead. If a user gives the '-u' option when the mrl file is
  empty, they will get a friendlier message stating that there are no

• bugfix: When restoring files from removable media or devices, rmw
  will now process relative paths (this primarily affects users who
  trash a file with the "move to trash" option from their desktop, and
  then later try to restore with rmw. See
  #299 for more
  information).

• bugfix: list output (rmw -lv) shows all removable devices as
  attached even for those that are detached.... read more

RMW Release Notes

v0.7.06

• When using -s,--select, the number of lines the terminal has will
  be checked. The number of items in the list will be based on that; if
  it doesn't meet the minumum requirement, rmw will exit.

• Allow optional argument to -g/--purge that can override the value of
  'purge_after' in the configuration file (-g[N_DAYS],
  --purge[=N_DAYS]).

• bugfix: restore broken symbolic links instead of giving a "file not
  found" message (issue
  #292)... read more

=== RMW Release Notes ===

• Fix for compiling with gcc 10 (Thanks to muralikodali and GazL)

• rmw will now refuse to move a waste folder or a file that resides
  within a waste folder (This feature was in place before, but at some
  point Andy accidentally removed the code).

• Feature removed: restore with '-z' using only the basename from any
  directory. User must be in a Trash directory or specify the full path
  (e.g. rmw -z ~/.local/share/Trash/foo.bar). For details, see issue
  #272.... read more

=== RMW Release Notes ===

v0.7.04

• To get user's home dir, revert back to retrieving via environmental
  variable (conforms to FreeDesktop Trash Spec)

• The config file is now read from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rmwrc or
  ~/.config/rmwrc.

• lastpurge is now 'purge-time' and stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/rmw or
  ~/.local/share/rmw.

• lastrmw is now 'mrl' and stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/rmw or
  ~/.local/share/rmw.... read more

• rmw now gets the user's HOMEDIR from a passwd struct (see
  https://linux.die.net/man/3/getpwnam), not from the environmental
  variable.

• A waste folder can now use the $UID (user id) variable. Example:
  /mnt/fs/Trash-$UID

• Because rmw automatically creates a config file in the user's home
  directory, rmw no longer searches in /etc (or /usr/local/etc..) for rmwrc.
  It can be removed from your system if installed previously.... read more

Martijn de Boer has done some testing and found that rmw will build and run on
Linux, Mac OS X, and *BSD. He also reports that it builds and runs on Windows
using WSL. We'd like rmw to have
the ability to run natively on Windows and if anyone is interested in helping
with that, please subscribe to the
ticket, or leave a comment.... read more
