CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
-Notes for this release:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Due to licensing problems, the ClamAV plugin has been removed from
- the Claws Mail core distribution and can now been found packaged
- separately or with the 'extra plugins' package.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Added NetworkManager support
- This is built by default if the dependencies are satisfied; it can
- be specifically disabled with '--disable-networkmanager-support'.
- This enables Claws Mail to track changes to the network status.
-
-* Added DIGEST-MD5 support for IMAP authentication
-
-* Added Folder Properties option, 'Run processing rules when opening'
- to the General page.
-
-* Added sub-sorting to the Message List; when the Sort type is either
- Subject, From, To or Tags, sub-sorting by Date will be active.
-
-* Added from=address to the mailto sequence
- The 'from' will try to select the first matching account in the
- Accounts list, otherwise it will use the usual account selection
- mechanism but will override it with the given 'from' address.
-
-* Added insert=FILE to the mailto sequence (stands for 'insert file')
- This adds the ability to create a new message from the command-line,
- with the body set from the contents of an existing file.
-
-* Added mailto with NNTP accounts
- This comes into play if mailto is used when an NNTP account is the
- default account or if an NNTP account address is used with 'from'.
-
-* Added several GUI improvements to the Filtering, Processing, Tags,
- Actions, Templates, Logging and Address Book dialogues
+* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
+ Properties.
-* Added a tooltip to the 'replied' icon in the Message List which
- indicates 'click to see your reply' feature.
+* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
+ they're INVALID!).
-* Added 'claws-mail --version-full' to display the version and a list
- of the compiled-in features
+* 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'.
-* Implemented speed-ups to list operations, deletions and cache
- updates.
+* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
+ Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-* Updated the man 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.
-* The Trayicon plugin icons are now themable.
+* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-* text/calendar message parts are now automatically displayed if a
- plugin handling text/calendar is loaded, e.g. vCalendar.
+* 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.
-* Maemo: connect HW status change signal for shutdown
+* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
+ added.
-* Maemo: identify mmc1 and mmc2 more clearly in the GUI
+* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
+ servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
-* Maemo: Make dnd threshold higher
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-* New translations: Hebrew
+* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech,
- Finnish, German, Hungarian, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish
+* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
+ German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
