6 the "Welcome back IMAP" release
8 Sylpheed-Claws is an extended version of Sylpheed, a GTK+ based,
9 lightweight, and fast e-mail client
11 This is the GTK 2 version of Sylpheed-Claws.
13 Notes for this release:
14 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17 Perhaps the most significant changes in this release have
18 happened in the IMAP code. Over the months we have received
19 several bug reports and complaints from IMAP users. The
20 changes to the IMAP implementation in this release are mostly
21 concerned with speedups in imap operation, and using non-
22 blocking I/O as much as possible. There have been far too
23 many changes to list them here in these release notes, so
24 interested users are pointed at ChangeLog-gtk2.claws. There
25 are more significant changes to the IMAP implemenation
26 planned, but IMAP users should already find this release is a
27 lot more comfortable for them.
29 * Performance increases
30 Users will discover substantial performance increases when
31 re-sorting folders, when using 'Select all', and when using
34 * /Message/Delete and /Message/Move to trash
35 '/Message/Delete' has been renamed '/Message/Move to trash'
36 and '/Message/Delete' has been added. '/Message/Delete' will
37 now directly destroy the message, after asking for a
38 confirmation, instead of moving it to the Trash folder.
41 All '/Configuration/Preferences/Common/...' options have been
42 integrated into the new style options interface.
45 The 'PGP/MIME' plugin has been renamed 'PGP MIME', users will
46 need to reselect 'PGP MIME' as their default privacy system
47 in their account's Privacy preferences.
50 The bind password is no longer visible onscreen.
55 * An option to encrypt replies to encrypted messages by default
56 '/[Account Prefs]/Account/Privacy/Encrypt message by default when
57 replying to an encrypted message'
