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
-This is the GTK 2 version of Sylpheed-Claws.
-
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.
+* etpan >= 0.39 is now required for IMAP support
+
+* LDAP and JPilot support is now built by default if the dependencies
+ are available. Use './configure --disable-ldap --disable-jpilot' if
+ you don't want them.
