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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Claws Mail now requires libetpan 0.56 for IMAP and NNTP
-
-* Spell checking is now provided by Enchant instead of Aspell. To
- build spell checker support, you will need the libenchant headers.
-
-* The S/MIME plugin is now part of this package.
-
-* IMAP, NNTP, and SSL are now supported in the Windows port.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Support for client SSL certificates.
-
-* Better support of SSL certificate stores, to be able to verify
- server certificates.
-
-* Renaming of newsgroups is possible.
-
-* "Always open message when selected" can now have three values:
- 'Never', 'Always' and 'When message view is visible'.
-
-* Unsaved server passwords can now be temporarily saved for the
- duration of the session. They can be cleared before the session
- expires by using '/Tools/Forget all session passwords'.
-
-* Auto-wrapping settings are now saved in drafted messages.
+* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
+ Properties.
-* Support for basic auto-indentation in the Compose window.
+* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
+ they're INVALID!).
-* Support for animated GIFs in the message view.
+* 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'.
-* Type-ahead search in Filtering, Templates, Actions dialogs now
- select the result of the search.
+* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
+ Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-* Finer granularity in POP3 accounts' Remove After delay - hours in
- addition to days.
+* 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.
-* Spam/Ham flag is now stored on IMAP server when possible, using
- "Junk" and "NonJunk" keywords.
+* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-* Use less precise intervals when possible for auto-checking, thus
- the CPU is woken up less frequently.
+* 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.
-* The warning icon in the main window is cleared when the error it
- relates to is clipped from the network log.
+* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
+ added.
-* IMAP errors now reveal the server on which they happen.
+* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
+ servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
-* All deprecated GTK interfaces have been replaced with their
- non-deprecated equivalents.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-* csv2addressbook.pl: Added support for FoxMail.
+* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-* Updated translations: British English, Bulgarian, Catalan, Dutch,
- Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian,
- Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Swedish.
+* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
+ German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
