26th February 2007 Claws Mail 2.8.0 CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES http://www.claws-mail.org Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast email client. New in this release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Removed 'Separate Folder tree' and 'Separate Message View' and put new layouts in place of it, 'Standard', 'Three columns', 'Wide message' and 'Wide message list'. Accessible from /View/Layout. * Added IMAP subscriptions Creating a new folder subscribes it. Deleting a folder unsubscribes it. "Creating" an existing but unsubscribed folder will subscribe it. By default, for new accounts, only subscribed folders are shown. A contextual menu item has been added, /Subscriptions, which allows switching the display between All folders and Subscribed folders only. It also enables the subscribing and unsubscribing of folders. * Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot keys, preventing accidental changes. * Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature, application/postscript and text/calendar. * Added /Tools/List URIs Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently selected mail. * Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types. * Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at the next startup. * Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach command line. * Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries. * Added 'Edit/Delete thread'. * Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option. * Some preferences have been re-arranged: Moved the 'Ask before emptying trash' option on the 'Other' page outside of the 'On exit' frame as it's not only an 'On exit' option. Moved 'Never send Return Receipts' from 'Other' to 'Sending' page. Moved keybinding preferences to the 'Other' page. Added 'mousepad' to the list of text editors on the 'External Programs' page. * Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder. * ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav. * GPG Plugins: Added an option 'Use gpg-agent to manage passwords' to GPG page of the common preferences. Fixes annoyances with distro- installed gpg-agent, when no pinentry program is installed, and the user is at a loss on why "decryption failed". It can be turned off to bypass gpg-agent. The option is disabled if gpg-agent is not running. * TrayIcon plugin: Added 'Hide at startup' and 'Close to tray' options. When the 'Close to tray' option is used the Window Manager's hotkey and [X] button will hide the window instead of closing it - closing CM can be done using the tray icon menu or the /File menu. Clicking the trayicon now raises the window to current desktop when it was either minimized or shaded, or when it was on another desktop. * Added support for non ISO-8859-1 compatible locales to the Actions scripts freshmeat_search.pl, google_search.pl and multiwebsearch.pl. * Renamed the maildir2claws-mail.pl script to kmail-mailbox2claws-mail.pl and updated it to work with newer versions of Kmail. * Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules. * Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak and Spanish translations. * Bug fixes: o bug 1033, 'Automatically refresh message list when new messages arrives' o bug 1106, 'Claws crash on exit if LDAPS autocompletion was used' o bug 1110, 'pgpmime fails to process encapsulated openpgp mime (rfc 3156, 6.1 -> rfc1847)' o bug 1116, 'summary view allow a subject line break' o bug 1117, 'fcntl locking code does not work in mbox.c' o bug 1123, 'Segmentation fault while opening address book' o Gentoo bug 165819, 'can't create a "local mbox file" account' * Fixed bug that prevented colorization from working in the Compose window without the wrap quotation option. * Fixed address completion issues. * Fixed focus issues after hiding the Quick Search * Don't encode ',' in URIs before passing it to the browser command-line. * Fixed markup being shown in the alert panel * Recognize .utf8 locales as .UTF-8 ones * Fixed code conversion when dragging a file * Fixed 'warn if there are queued messages' option, which only checked the first mailbox's queue * Fixed default hotkeys in Compose's Send menu. * Plug some memory leaks.
