Version 17 is not ready anytime soon, But it already has a lot of new things that need testing
Not everything added to v17 might be included in the final release.
v17 contain many MAJOR rewrites and new addition.
- File Tags/Labels and comments system
- Folder Specific settings
- New Keyboard customization system
- Total rewrite of List/Grid UI component used for File List view, FolderTree view, Most List/Grid UI componets. Without this rewrite all the 3 items above would not be possible
- MultiFileViewer can now show CSV/Parquet files as data in a grid. and if it is CSV it can be edited and modified and saved backed
- Some extension in MC can now be developed using .Net/C#
- Checksum extension now support Blake3 checksum algorithm
This is a early preview. since it is a early preview it is time locked. and will stop to work after sep-30. (but a new updated version will be out.. )
However it will not be possible to auto update this version until in reached beta. there might be more 16.x releases with fixes before this is officially out
Since this is early preview. NOW is the time to come with feedback you want something to change. How a features with file tags or folder specific settings works or something like that.
Since this preview is developed separately from v16.x, When a new preview is released, it might not have all the fixes or addition that 16.x has. Right not V17 Preview has everything 16.2 build 3205 has. (I think)
