Goodbye GnomeVFS, Hello GIO/GVFS
Way back in June, Peter discussed KIO, KDE’s backend system that applications can use to read and write virtually anywhere. GNOME, with GnomeVFS, provides similar functionality, though admittedly it is lacking in several areas. The project basically was started off on the wrong foot, and it has been a mess from a developer standpoint ever since.
GIO/GVFS aims to fix this. Essentially, it is a GNOME version of KIO, and will be shipped with GNOME 2.22 in March. (Actually, it will be shipped with Glib, which is shipped with GNOME.)
