CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Removed 'Separate Folder tree' and 'Separate Message View' and put
- new layouts in place of it, 'Standard', 'Three columns', 'Wide
- message' and 'Wide message list'. Accessible from /View/Layout.
+* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
+ Properties.
-* Added IMAP subscriptions
- Creating a new folder subscribes it. Deleting a folder unsubscribes
- it. "Creating" an existing but unsubscribed folder will subscribe
- it. By default, for new accounts, only subscribed folders are shown.
- A contextual menu item has been added, /Subscriptions, which allows
- switching the display between All folders and Subscribed folders
- only. It also enables the subscribing and unsubscribing of folders.
+* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
+ they're INVALID!).
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+* 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'.
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
+ Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-* Added /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+* 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 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+* 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.
-* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
+ added.
-* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
+ servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
-* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-* Some preferences have been re-arranged:
- Moved the 'Ask before emptying trash' option on the 'Other' page
- outside of the 'On exit' frame as it's not only an 'On exit' option.
- Moved 'Never send Return Receipts' from 'Other' to 'Sending' page.
- Moved keybinding preferences to the 'Other' page.
- Added 'mousepad' to the list of text editors on the 'External
- Programs' page.
-
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
-
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
-
-* GPG Plugins: Added an option 'Use gpg-agent to manage passwords' to
- GPG page of the common preferences. Fixes annoyances with distro-
- installed gpg-agent, when no pinentry program is installed, and the
- user is at a loss on why "decryption failed". It can be turned off
- to bypass gpg-agent. The option is disabled if gpg-agent is not
- running.
-
-* TrayIcon plugin: Added 'Hide at startup' and 'Close to tray'
- options.
- When the 'Close to tray' option is used the Window Manager's hotkey
- and [X] button will hide the window instead of closing it - closing
- CM can be done using the tray icon menu or the /File menu.
- Clicking the trayicon now raises the window to current desktop when
- it was either minimized or shaded, or when it was on another desktop.
-
-* Added support for non ISO-8859-1 compatible locales to the Actions
- scripts freshmeat_search.pl, google_search.pl and multiwebsearch.pl.
-
-* Renamed the maildir2claws-mail.pl script to kmail-mailbox2claws-mail.pl
- and updated it to work with newer versions of Kmail.
-
-* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
- thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
-
-* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish,
- French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
- Slovak and Spanish translations.
+* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
+ German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
