CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
-
+
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-All plugins previously packaged as 'Extra Plugins' are now contained
-within the Claws Mail package. In addition to that, the following
-plugins have been dropped: TrayIcon, Dillo Viewer, and Gtkhtml2
-Viewer.
+* Preferences are now saved to disk immediately on pressing OK or
+ Apply.
-This release contains the following plugins: ACPI Notifier, Address
-Keeper, Attachment Remover, Attachment Warner, Bogofilter, BS Filter,
-Clam AntiVirus, Fancy HTML Viewer, FetchInfo, gData, GeoLocation,
-Mail Archiver, MailMBOX, New Mail, Notification, PDF Viewer, Perl,
-PGP/Core, PGP/Inline, PGP/MIME, Python, RSSyl, SMime, Spam Report,
-SpamAssassin, TNEF Parse, and vCalendar.
+* New preferences have been added for default sorting of the message
+ lists. They are found in the 'Message list' frame of the Display/
+ Summaries page of the general preferences. These options only apply
+ to newly created folders.
-* 3 command-line switches have been added:
- --cancel-receiving which cancels the currently running message
- retrieval operation
- --cancel-sending which cancels the currently running message
- sending operation
- --debug which toggles debug output.
+* The menu item 'Delete thread' has been moved to the Message menu.
+ Previously clicking it would not delete the thread, but just move
+ it to the Trash folder. Now it will delete the thread.
+ An additional menu item has been added, 'Move thread to trash',
+ which implements the original behaviour.
-* '/Message/Cancel sending' has been added to the main menu.
+* Compose window: By default it is no longer possible to add user-
+ defined headers, with only those pre-defined in the drop down menus
+ being possible. To restore the old behaviour, a new hidden
+ preference has been added: 'type_any_header', setting this to 1
+ restores the old behaviour.
-* In the filtering and processing condition configuration for Age,
- it is now possible to match based on number of hours.
+* Automatic account selection is now also applied when you reply to
+ one of your own messages, e.g. from the Sent folder.
-* The GnuPG signature timestamp is now displayed in the full
- signature information
+* Folder list: The Left and Right cursor keys now collapse or expand
+ the currently selected folder tree item. The Left cursor key also
+ moves the selection to parent folder, if current folder is within
+ a collapsed tree.
-* Support for GnuTLS priority string has been added. This is achieved
- via 2 hidden account preferences, gnutls_set_priority and
- gnutls_priority. The former turning the option on or off, the
- latter containing the required priority string.
+* Folder list: The Home and End keys now move the selection to the
+ first folder and last folder in the tree.
-* Keep-alive pings are now performed on IMAP and NNTP connections.
+* Account Auto-configuration: when errors occur, a more detailed
+ error message is shown.
-* In the Compose window, the focus is now moved to the message body
- when focus is in the Subject entry and the Enter key is pressed.
-
-* The Delete key can now be used to remove Colour Label hotkeys.
+* GnuPG plugins: An option has been added to specify the location of
+ the GnuPG executable.
-* PDF Viewer: The printed PDF quality has been improved.
+* GnuPG plugins: A new hidden preference has been added which limits
+ the number of results returned when using your keyring for address
+ auto-completion: 'autocompletion_limit'. The default value is 0,
+ which means there is no limit, any other number will limit the
+ results to that number.
-* Fancy HTML viewer: The options dialogue has been completely
- reworked, and disabling remote content is now totally strict.
-
-* Python plugin: Added Cc field to messageinfo objects.
