A new version of donnatella, your GTK3 file manager, is available. A bunch of fixes and improvments/optimizations since 0.2.0, some new things as well, the most "important" ones being the addition of custom properties, and facilities for scripting
Sicne day one, things have been quite configurable in donna, but there was no scripting support. Instead, donna uses commands and lets you combine them as you want, assign them a click or key, etc And when that's not enough? Well, then you script.
It is now possible to communicate with donna, i.e. trigger commands (nodes,
really, it's not actually limited to commands) and get their return values. All
this easilly in any language of your choice, either using the socket directly or
via helper donna-trigger
And if you could always configure donna as you wanted, defining the layout and configuring columns as you'd like, things can now go even further via the addition of custom properties.
You'll now be able to have columns for video duration, uncompressed size of archives, or whatever you can come up with!

Configuration updates
As you might know if you've read the posts about changes pushed in next
alongside changes in the code, were changes in the (default) configuration as
well. And since almost everything in donna is configurable, you might wanna use
an updated config as well.
There are, however, no automatic process for this. You can use your favorite tool to handle the merging, even do a 3-way merge using the original .conf file if you want.
And in case it might help, here are the changes done between 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 :
