I've uploaded zgv v2.6 to sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming.

New features added:

- Zgv will now load create/update thumbnails in the background. That
  is, when you switch to another VC while zgv is updating the index,
  it'll keep doing it rather than suspending until you switch back.

- Support for TGA files, types 1, 2, 9 and 10 (this should include
  most of them; certainly the ones produced by Povray). Heiko
  Eissfeldt deserves honourable mention for doing a similar job
  independently.

- Better BMP support (from Carsten Engelmann).

- Added support for GIFs with local colour maps, such as those
  produced by Ghostscript.


Bugfixes:

- Problem with -p fixed. I hope. :-)

- File selector bug fixed. If you pressed enter to view a file, then
  used ^N or Enter to go through more than a screen's-worth of files,
  then exited or reached the end of the list of picture files, it used
  to try and undraw the file you started with, which meant the screen
  got corrupted.


Other changes:

- Now gets through '-Wall -Wno-implicit -Wno-return-type' without
  warnings.


Here's the LSM entry:
