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.
+* GPGME 1.x
+ This release adds GPGME 1.x support. GPGME >= 0.4.5 is now needed
+ if you require GnuPG support.
+
+* A new PGP/Core plugin has been added, this alone does not add
+ anything new for the user, but provides core functions that are
+ used by the PGP/MIME and PGP/Inline plugins. If you have PGP/Mime
+ or PGP/Inline configured for loading it will be loaded
+ automatically, due to the new Plugin Dependency system.
+
+* IMAP
+ This release brings further improvements to IMAP support and adds a
+ dependency. libEtPan! >= 0.38 is now required for IMAP support. It
+ is available from http://www.etpan.org.
+ Users not requiring IMAP support can use the configure option
+ '--disable-libetpan'
+
+* Printing support
+ Optional extended printing support has been added. It relies upon
+ libgnomeprint2 and libgnomeprintui2 and will be built automatically
+ if you have the required libraries installed. Should you wish to
+ disable it you can use the configure option '--disable-gnomeprint'
