4 Vifm v0.14.5
5 ------------
6
7 Thanks for the bug reports. This is another bugfix release for the v0.14.x
8 series, done primarily to fix a CVE. The other backported changes since
9 v0.14.4 make documentation more complete and readable along with fixing various
10 bugs.
11
12 The CVE may allow a local user of a Unix-like system to send commands to a Vifm
13 instance of another user. Making `$TMPDIR`, `$TEMP`, `$TEMPDIR` or `$TMP`
14 point at a location that's writable only by the current user is enough to make
15 it impossible, but it needs to be done outside of Vifm (i.e., don't put
16 `let $TMPDIR = ...` to `vifmrc`, it won't have the desired effect).
17
18 Security:
19 - Fixed unsafe IPC pipe reuse (CVE-2026-110237). Thanks to Andrew Savchenko
20 and Salvatore Bonaccorso (a.k.a. carnil).
21
22 AppImage:
23 - Updated AppImage runtime to a recent version. Thanks to Alexander
24 Gottweis (a.k.a. stablestud).
25
26 Documentation:
27 - Improved wording of documentation sections describing filters and patterns.
28 - Improved wording of documentation covering `:view`. Thanks to
29 CaptainFantastic.
30 - Slightly improve documentation of `columncount:` in `'lsoptions'`.
31 - Fixed invocation form of `:locate` that passes parameters without escaping
32 not being documented.
33
34 :set command and options:
35 - Fixed printing the value of `'previewoptions'`: remove trailing comma and fix
36 `maxtreedepth:` and `graphicsdelay:` being mutually exclusive.
37
38 File list:
39 - Avoid views scrolling unnecessarily in response to file-system changes that
40 add or remove files before the first visible line. Thanks to
41 justpretending2.
42
43 File preview:
44 - Fixed external preview of directories being indefinitely refreshed when
45 `'previewoptions'` lists non-default values for builtin directory preview.
46 Thanks to Chris at Vifm Q2A site.
47 - Fixed graphics from miller preview staying visible after switching away from
48 a file entry.
49 - Fixed graphics from miller preview staying visible after switching
50 `'millerview'` off.
51
52 Command-line mode:
53 - Fixed `:highlight Group cterm=combine,none gui=combine,none` resulting in
54 `cterm=combine` and `gui=combine`.
55
56 Menus and dialogs:
57 - Fixed dialog's title being hidden when it's longer than the dialog's message.
58
59 Core:
60 - Fixed startup commands being executed on loading sessions. Thanks to
61 maxigaz.
62 - Fixed cleaning up IPC pipe file on exiting after handling `--remote` or
63 `--remote-expr`.
64 - Fixed an unlikely memory leak on discovering `.desktop` files.
65
66 TUI (Text User Interface):
67 - Fixed ruler in view mode not growing in size to accommodate its content.
68 Thanks to Dennis Preiser (a.k.a. 0xDP).
69
70 Integration:
71 - Fixed FUSE unmounting not working on FreeBSD 15.0 or later, which has added
72 an implementation of inotify that, unlike on Linux, counts as a directory
73 use and prevents unmounting. Thanks to abi at Vifm Q2A site.
74
75 Only on Windows:
76 - Fixed miller columns not being filled on Windows for UNC paths.
77
78 See the ChangeLog file for the full list of changes and by whom they were
79 suggested or implemented.
