FET-7.1.6 released on 18 April 2025

[Liviu Lalescu]

On Friday, 18 April 2025, FET-7.1.6 was released. From the ChangeLog:

  - Added a file communication protocol for the FET-CL executable, as suggested by Nahum Lipkunsky: if the user creates a file named exactly 'sigwrite', the program will output the current and highest stage timetables, without interrupting the generation, and remove this file from the disk. This facility was suggested also by other users in the past.
  - Improved the fet.desktop file by adding the possibility of opening a specified fet file on startup.
  - Added a mime file for GNU/Linux, so that it is possible to open directly a fet file with FET from the file browser; also in the file browser the fet files will have attached the FET icon (suggested by Željko Vrabec, who also wrote the fet.xml mime file). These features should be present on GNU/Linux, after doing a "make install", but you might need to execute some additional commands post-installation, as explained in the README file.

Thanks to Željko and Nahum for the good collaboration!
