CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Several GUI improvements
- The colour preferences have been split into tabs.
- Improve the way 'Find in current message' search results are
- shown by vertically centering the selected text in the
- Message View.
- Improvements to the 'List URIs' dialogue.
- Filtering/Processing Match Type dialogue has been reworked.
- Several other layout improvements.
+* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
+ Properties.
-* Several address book improvements
- Added Custom Attributes, which can be edited from
- '/Tools/Edit custom attributes...' and are used from the
- 'Name' drop down list on the 'Edit Person Details' dialogue.
- Always add a new contact if any value is set, instead of
- silently rejecting it when an email address is not set.
- Better guessing of contact name from incomplete name
- information.
- Better display of contacts that have no name set, in contact
- lists, group contents, find duplicate results.
- Error messages don't show in the status bar anymore, alert
- panels are used instead.
- Several other GUI improvements.
+* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
+ they're INVALID!).
-* Added optional Tooltips to the Message List. This is enabled by the
- 'Show tooltips' option on the '/Display/Summaries' Preferences page
- and is only possible with GTK+ >= 2.12
+* 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'.
-* Much improved handling of Return Receipts, both outgoing and
- incoming.
+* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
+ Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-* Added the option to use the system defaults for External Programs
- preferences on the '/Message View/External Programs' page.
+* 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.
-* Added "select first email in list" to the list of possible
- selections in the 'Set default selection on entering a folder'
- options on the '/Display/Summaries' preferences page.
+* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-* IMAP: Added IMAP tags support. (Note: 'Bandwidth-efficient' mode
- prevents fetching of tags.)
+* 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.
-* IMAP: Optimised flag handling and message copying.
+* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
+ added.
-* Improved printed page layout for built-in GTK+ printing
- Bold fonts are now used where appropriate and a demarcation
- between header and body has been added.
+* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
+ servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
-* Optimised filtering on flags/tags changes.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-* MAEMO: Added LED flashing for new mail alerts
+* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-* MAEMO: Made all of the left of column in the Folder List a hotspot
- for expanding/collapsing the tree.
-
-* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, French, German,
- Hungarian, Italian, and Spanish
+* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
