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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* IMAP with STARTTLS
- The certificate port on TLS was fixed, however this will trigger
- one wrong 'New certificate' warning on the first connection.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Added an option, "Use secure file deletion if possible", which
- enables shredding of temporary files and messages instead of
- just removing them. This is available on the Other preferences
- page.
-
-* Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
- messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
- preferences page.
-
-* Added an option to the 'Create new folder' dialogue which enables
- new folders to inherit the properties of their parent folders
- during folder creation.
+* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
+ Properties.
-* Added a hidden option, "two_line_vertical", which toggles the
- 2-line view in the message list when using the 3-column layout.
- Defaults to '1', show 2 lines.
+* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
+ they're INVALID!).
-* Added a hidden option, "outgoing_fallback_to_ascii", which allows
- the user to specify an outgoing charset/encoding, but still fall
- back to 7bit US-ASCII when possible.
- Defaults to '1', fallback when possible.
+* 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 support for the Avant Window Navgator (Awn) information
- bubble. This is automatically enabled if dbus is available.
+* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
+ Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-* Face and X-Face headers can now be added globally and per-account
- from configuration files under ~/.claws-mail/autofaces/. Further
- information is provided in the manual.
+* 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 SHA1 fingerprint is now shown on the SSL certificate dialogue
- and the labels are now selectable.
+* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-* Several GUI improvements have been made, (Address book, filtering
- dialogue, Actions dialogue, and Account preferences).
+* 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.
-* New icons have been added for 'Reply to list' and 'Cancel'. The
- 'Insert file' and 'Close' icons have been improved, as have the
- tray icons.
+* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
+ added.
-* Added the Trash and Delete icons to the Custom Toolbars options.
-
-* SMTP-only accounts are now not shown in the Receive menus and
- Account lists in filtering/processing, as they are irrelevant here.
+* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
+ servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
- Support for a gmail exported csv address book was added.
-
-* Updated English, French, and Spanish manuals.
+ thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, French,
- German, and Spanish.
+* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-* Removed unmaintained translations: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech,
- Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Russian,
- Swedish, and Taiwanese. (New maintainers are very welcome,
- contact paul@claws-mail.org)
+* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
+ German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
