6 Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
12 * Removed 'Separate Folder tree' and 'Separate Message View' and put
13 new layouts in place of it, 'Standard', 'Three columns', 'Wide
14 message' and 'Wide message list'. Accessible from /View/Layout.
16 * Added IMAP subscriptions
17 Creating a new folder subscribes it. Deleting a folder unsubscribes
18 it. "Creating" an existing but unsubscribed folder will subscribe
19 it. By default, for new accounts, only subscribed folders are shown.
20 A contextual menu item has been added, /Subscriptions, which allows
21 switching the display between All folders and Subscribed folders
22 only. It also enables the subscribing and unsubscribing of folders.
24 * Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
25 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
26 keys, preventing accidental changes.
28 * Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
29 application/postscript and text/calendar.
31 * Added /Tools/List URIs
32 Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
35 * Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.

46 * Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
48 * Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
49 the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
51 * Some preferences have been re-arranged:
52 Moved the 'Ask before emptying trash' option on the 'Other' page
53 outside of the 'On exit' frame as it's not only an 'On exit' option.
54 Moved 'Never send Return Receipts' from 'Other' to 'Sending' page.
55 Moved keybinding preferences to the 'Other' page.
56 Added 'mousepad' to the list of text editors on the 'External
59 * Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
60 Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
62 * ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
63 maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
65 * GPG Plugins: Added an option 'Use gpg-agent to manage passwords' to
66 GPG page of the common preferences. Fixes annoyances with distro-
67 installed gpg-agent, when no pinentry program is installed, and the
68 user is at a loss on why "decryption failed". It can be turned off
69 to bypass gpg-agent. The option is disabled if gpg-agent is not
72 * TrayIcon plugin: Added 'Hide at startup' and 'Close to tray'
74 When the 'Close to tray' option is used the Window Manager's hotkey
75 and [X] button will hide the window instead of closing it - closing
76 CM can be done using the tray icon menu or the /File menu.
77 Clicking the trayicon now raises the window to current desktop when
78 it was either minimized or shaded, or when it was on another desktop.
80 * Added support for non ISO-8859-1 compatible locales to the Actions
81 scripts freshmeat_search.pl, google_search.pl and multiwebsearch.pl.

84 and updated it to work with newer versions of Kmail.

87 thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
89 * Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish,
90 French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
91 Slovak and Spanish translations.
