== emelFM2 0.5.0 ==  /9/2008
Highlights of this release:
* upgraded command interpretation, including new macros related to escaping
* new and renamed actions and tweaked operation of some existing actions
* wider coverage of configurable keybindings, and build-time option to support pointer-device bindings (buttons and gestures)
* revised several plugins e.g. upgraded security in crypt plugin, lzma support in pack/unpack
* bugfixes

Details are available at http://emelfm2.net/ChangeLog.

A note about the crypt plugin - this has passed all tests to now, but since it can irrevocably compromise the contents of processed files, we take a conservative approach, and CAUTION  users to use the plugin warily. Apply the option to keep the original file, and confirm somewhat that encrypt(s) can be reversed successfully. (After a long period of successful operation, we'll feel more comfortable about removing this caution.)
