CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Non-blocking NNTP has been implemented. NNTP support is now provided
- by and depends upon libetpan
+* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
+ Properties.
-GnuTLS support has been implemented as an alternative to OpenSSL.
- [./configure --enable-gnutls]
+* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
+ they're INVALID!).
-A run-time alternative configuration directory switch has been added,
- [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
+* 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'.
-Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
+* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
+ Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
- removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of
- bold text.
+* 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.
-Templates: Added ability to attach files using |attach{filename}.
- Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.
+* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-Address Book: Added duplicate finder, '/Tools/Find duplicates'.
- It is now possible to set an image for each contact. Pictures
- from a contact's Face or X-Face will be automatically set
- when available. The contact's image will be automatically
- displayed in the message view or header pane if the message
- has no Face or X-Face header.
+* 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.
-'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together
+* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
+ added.
-GTK+ built-in print support is now used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.
- libgnomeprint will never be used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.
+* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
+ servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
-Reinstated 'Generate Message-ID' option as an Account preference. It
- is hidden on IMAP accounts, because Message-IDs are needed on
- servers that don't implement the UIDPLUS extension.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-Toolbar preferences: Improved dialogue.
+* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-Compose window: the number of attachments is now shown in the tab's
- title.
-
-Attachments: When opening attachments with 'Open' or 'Open with...'
- the temporary files are now saved as read-only. A hidden
- preference has been added, 'save_parts_readwrite', which
- permits the previous behaviour.
-
-IMAP: Added a button on the Folder Properties General page to allow
- users to discard local caches.
- Added much better error handling.
- Fetching of cached mails has been heavily optimised.
-
-LDAP: Added read-only support for jpegPhoto LDAP field
-
-Bcc in commandline URIs has been added.
