mc 4.6.2 released. It is the first release since 2005. Tarball: http://midnight-commander.org/downloads/mc-4.6.2.tar.gz NEWS file is not available on project's site at this moment, so I put appropriate part of NEWS file here: Version 4.6.2 - MC Core - Changed HQ url to point to new website www.midnight-commander.org (Closes: #137, #138) - Added a micro helper library in order to go slowly avay from glib (Closes: #157) - Use static strings as section entries in ~/.mc/history WARNING!: This will break old files (Closes: #50) - Fixed a repaint issue when clicking on the "View" Button instead of using F3 (Closes: #35) - Removed obsolete autoconf macros (Closes: #133) - Fix escaping for command line completion (Closes: #147) - prevent mc from segfaulting when getting invalid timestamps on files (Closes: #96) - Fixed a keybord issue when running mc via a putty console (Closes: #203) - setted pty fd to closeonexec (on subshell) (Closes: #174) - Fixed file renames, when copying/moving is performed into deleted directories.

Please also note that package homepage has been changed to http://midnight-commander.org Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Can probably fix bugs 220365 and 228975, testing required. Definitely fixes bug 250176.

And here's the changeset which fixes the error: http://www.midnight-commander.org/changeset/540fec5a7ab46e928536fdc38c6b3dfdf4483a8a
I couldn't get this version to compile with or without the utf8 patch, it fails with undefined references "ftp_codebase".. Debian applies ~100 patches on top of this release, I wonder if there is any chance to include those.. It's a real pain to review them one by one for each release.
