SYLPHEED-CLAWS RELEASE NOTES
http://claws.sylpheed.org
- the "Welcome back IMAP" release
-
Sylpheed-Claws is an extended version of Sylpheed, a GTK+ based,
lightweight, and fast e-mail client
Notes for this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* IMAP support
- Perhaps the most significant changes in this release have
- happened in the IMAP code. Over the months we have received
- several bug reports and complaints from IMAP users. The
- changes to the IMAP implementation in this release are mostly
- concerned with speedups in imap operation, and using non-
- blocking I/O as much as possible. There have been far too
- many changes to list them here in these release notes, so
- interested users are pointed at ChangeLog-gtk2.claws. There
- are more significant changes to the IMAP implemenation
- planned, but IMAP users should already find this release is a
- lot more comfortable for them.
-
-* Performance increases
- Users will discover substantial performance increases when
- re-sorting folders, when using 'Select all', and when using
- 'Mark all read'
-
-* /Message/Delete and /Message/Move to trash
- '/Message/Delete' has been renamed '/Message/Move to trash'
- and '/Message/Delete' has been added. '/Message/Delete' will
- now directly destroy the message, after asking for a
- confirmation, instead of moving it to the Trash folder.
-
-* Common Preferences
- All '/Configuration/Preferences/Common/...' options have been
- integrated into the new style options interface.
-
-* PGP MIME plugin
- The 'PGP/MIME' plugin has been renamed 'PGP MIME', users will
- need to reselect 'PGP MIME' as their default privacy system
- in their account's Privacy preferences.
-
-* LDAP
- The bind password is no longer visible onscreen.
+* The 'Open first unread message when entering a folder' option has
+ been replaced with 'When entering a folder select...', allowing the
+ user to 'Do Nothing','Select first new (or unread) message',
+ (falling back to first unread message if there are no new
+ messages), or 'Select first unread (or new) message', (falling back
+ to first new message if there are no unread messages).
+
+ Whether or not the selected message is opened is now exclusively
+ controlled by the 'Always open message when selected' option.
+
+* Filtering and Processing rules can now be given a name. The
+ configuration file is converted to the new format automatically and
+ the old file is backed up to ~/.sylpheed-gtk2/matcherrc.pre_names.
+
+* A new icon for the Trash button has been added.
+
+* The 'Bold font' option has been removed. A displayed bold font is
+ now derived from the normal font.
+
+* The option 'Display recipient in 'From' column if sender is yourself'
+ has been removed from the GUI. It still exists as a hidden option,
+ available in ~/.sylpheed-gtk2/sylpheedrc as 'enable_swap_from'.
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* An option to encrypt replies to encrypted messages by default
- '/[Account Prefs]/Account/Privacy/Encrypt message by default when
- replying to an encrypted message'
+* Many improvements to the Address book including a generally more
+ consistent and intuitive GUI, better labels and reworked and more
+ logical menu items, context sensitive buttons depending on how
+ the address book is called and allowing only relevant actions.

+ fixes to drag 'n' drop.
+
+* It is now possible to paste wrapped or unwrapped text into the
+ Compose window. A '/Special paste/' menu item has been added with
+ sub-items 'as quotation', 'wrapped', and 'unwrapped'.

+ Compose window.
