[Max E. Kuznecov]

I'm pleased to announce the XYZCommander version 0.0.5!

XYZCommander is a pure console visual file manager.

Main features:

  * Tight integration with python run–time system — most of the
settings can be changed "on the fly" using management console.
  * Powerful configuration system - define own actions, aliases,
internal commands, key bindings.
  * Extensible plug-in system - even core functionality implemented
mainly using plug–ins, keeping base system small and clean.
  * Events & hooks subsystem - a flexible way of reacting on certain
system events.
  * Customizable look-n-feel - every widget component look can be
changed using skins.
  * Unicode support
 * Tabs in navigation panels
