Binaries available for Mac OS X 10.4-10.6, and this includes Jeroen's
patches for Debian. Here is the complete changelog:

(Jeroen Schot)
- Patches for compilation on Debian lenny

(Cameron Kaiser)
- Menu reorganization, including stub menus for future features (bookmarks etc)
- More accelerator and shortcut keys
- Save to disk for unrecognized item types now enabled (to be expanded later)
- Rotational and translational speeds are now relative to CPU speed
- FPS counter in status bar
- Mousemoves are now normalized to the size of the VR window
- Double left click equivalent with middle button for selection and jumping
- Application remembers window positions in ~/.gophervrwindows. This needs a
  kludge for X11.app DAMN YOU APPLE
- Menu window now opens clear of the VR window status bar
- Menu window can be closed and the VR window used by itself without crashing
  the application (and reopened from File > Show Gopher Menu -- although
  it does not properly update when reopened yet)
- Menu window resizes menu list to same relative size when resized
- Text window now snaps back to top after loading
- Text window properly gives confirmation when files are saved
- hURLs are now green
- Folder icons have a slant "tab" for better visual distinction. I might do
  a properly modeled object later.
- Open Location better recognizes URLs (and rejects non-URLs)
- Fixed situation where shrinking the VR window would fail to update it
- Changed truncate in libtracker to lt_truncate to avoid name collisions
- Some defunct or crashing options have now been hidden for 'safety'
- Mac OS X launcher changes:
  - Application can now be launched from folders with spaces in their names
  - Prerequisites split out to allow interactive error handling
  - Cmd-Tab switching is now fully intercepted
