CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Expanding/Collapsing of threads is now approximately 95% faster.
+* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
+ Properties.
-* Cache reading is now approximately 10% faster.
+* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
+ they're INVALID!).
-* The shortcut key settings of the main window and the message list
- context menus are now connected.
+* A 'Metadata handling' option has been added to the Miscellaneous
+ options page. The options are 'safer' or 'faster'. 'faster' is
+ Claws' original behaviour. 'safer' prevents data loss on system
+ crashes where the filesystem is of a 'not-so-robust' variety, e.g.
+ xfs. If in doubt, use 'safer'. This option defaults to 'safer'.
-* The preferences on the 'Other' page have now been moved to
- Other/Miscellaneous. The parent pages are now unselectable and the
- first page is automatically selected on opening the preferences.
+* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
+ Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-* In the Compose window, on the Others tab, the 'Save message to'
- entry now has a drop-down list of the previous save locations.
+* An option has been added to the Receive page of IMAP account
+ preferences, "Move deleted mails to trash and expunge immediately".
+ This option is on by default to avoid changing the existing
+ behaviour. Turning it off prevents automatic expunging.
+ Also, 'Tools/Expunge' and 'View/Hide deleted messages' menu items
+ have been added to main toolbar.
-* In the Compose window, the Attachments Properties window is now
- confirmed and closed with the Return key.
+* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-* When using an external editor to compose messages, the message is
- automatically saved to Drafts when the external editor is closed.
+* In the Compose window a warning dialogue is raised if attachments
+ that have been added no longer exist on the filesystem at the time
+ of sending.
-* A hidden option has been added, 'primary_paste_unselects' which
- causes the primary buffer to be cleared and the insertion point to
- be repositioned when the middle mouse button is used for pasting
- text. It is turned off by default.
+* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
+ added.
-* In the Actions window, the Escape key now cancels the action
- editing.
+* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
+ servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
-* Offline SSL certificate verification has been added.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-* Privacy plugins: The decryption failure messages are now shown
- in the NoticeView just above the message text rather than in a
- popup window.
+* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-* Privacy plugins: when listing the UIDs during a signature check,
- show the UID validity
