This release introduces a big change in the user interface. Search commands have been obsoleted in favor of more user-friendly search bar extenders that only occupy space when they are needed, and allow the user to fine-tune search parameters.

The building procedure has also been updated. Python and qmake are now used instead of scons, which ensures the project will build equally well on all supported platforms.

In addition, MacOS releases are now universal binaries (i.e. they support both Intel and PowerPC).

Lots of other small changes have taken place. Version 0.2.3 is already planned with other features like search bookmarking, while the 0.3 series will have deeper improvements.

Changelog:

  • Added search bar extenders to better control search parameters
