Hi there,

After a spectacularly crappy year 2020, I'm glad to announce the immediate 
availability of mc-4.8.26, this time with a couple of new particularly 
awesome features!

The major highlight of this release is without doubt the support for 
persistent subshell buffer contributed by Eric Roberts with fixes by 
Oswald Buddenhagen. How many times did you start typing something after 
hiding the panels, then switched the panels on and off again just to find 
your text erased, garbled or even incorrectly executed? Not anymore!

Have you been missing the eye candy of the good old Turbo Vision shadows? 
It took a few decades, but thanks to Aleš Janda you can finally enjoy them 
in mc (or you can turn them off, it's not your cup of tea).

Other than that, mc now supports arbitrary long filenames, directory 
listing on CIFS mounts should work correctly again on latest kernels, 
among many other smaller fixes of that sort. Everybody is recommended to 
upgrade to immediately benefit from these improvements!

For the detailed list of changes since the last release, please refer to 
the release notes.

As usual, thanks to Andrew Borodin, who was the main driving force behind 
this release, as well as all of our contributors, including translators.

Stay healthy!
