Krusader was created because there was no good Total Commander (formerly Windows Commander) replacement for Linux. Shie and Rafi chose KDE/Qt because it offered the right tools for software development, as well as a rich and dependable framework.

Probably, that famous meeting took place on 30th April 2000. On the 1st of May 2000, the project started officially. The first working version was called M1 (Milestone 1) for KDE 2 (Kleopatra 1.91). The first release was M2 (Milestone2) on 11th July 2000. Version 1.0 was released on 1 January 2002, and now seven years after the project was begun, Krusader 1.80.0-beta2 was released on 31 March 2007. The 1.80 release will be the last in the line for KDE3. The majority of effort will now be directed towards Krusader2 for KDE4 which is knocking on the door. For more release information, you can check the release overview, thanks to Frank's information gathering efforts.

About three years after the project started more people joined the project, and the Krusader Krew was born.

We'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to the project with feedback, patches and ideas. Without it, Krusader would not have become the proven application that it is today. It is impossible to mention every contributor but the credits page can give you some idea of the people involved.

Krusader, a full featured twin-panel file manager for KDE is surely the most advanced file manager for Linux, supporting a long list of advanced functions, plus a lot of extended functions from different third party projects, that need to be properly described, documented and brought to the attention of users from all walks of life. While the Krew gets a lot of support from translators, other developers and bug hunters, the documentation stands solely on two people, both writing and proofreading the ever changing documentation, to be always on the same wavelength as the functions and features of the file manager. After a long period of preparation, now the Krew started changing the structure of Krusader, the twin panel file manager, for compatibility with upcoming release of KDE4, which brings changes to the core of the program. At the same time this upgrade will also enable adding new features, removing obsolete ones and changing the existing.

The Krew calls out for all the users, writers, proofreaders and sympathizers of open software, to help the project with the documentation. It doesn't matter if your English is not perfect, there will be a proofreader helping you with it, it doesn't matter if you're not sure if you can do it, someone will surely help you get the hang of it and it doesn't matter if you don't have a lot of time, bit by bit we all can do it.

Thank you.

Afaik, debian and suse already posted new Qt binaries that fix the problem, and gentoo has masked 3.3.5 completely. As for now, you either need Qt 3.3.4 or a fixed 3.3.5, depending on your distribution.

Thanks!
