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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Several GUI improvements
- The colour preferences have been split into tabs.
- Improve the way 'Find in current message' search results are
- shown by vertically centering the selected text in the
- Message View.
- Improvements to the 'List URIs' dialogue.
- Filtering/Processing Match Type dialogue has been reworked.
- Several other layout improvements.
+* Preferences are now saved to disk immediately on pressing OK or
+ Apply.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
-* Several address book improvements
- Added Custom Attributes, which can be edited from
- '/Tools/Edit custom attributes...' and are used from the
- 'Name' drop down list on the 'Edit Person Details' dialogue.
- Always add a new contact if any value is set, instead of
- silently rejecting it when an email address is not set.
- Better guessing of contact name from incomplete name
- information.
- Better display of contacts that have no name set, in contact
- lists, group contents, find duplicate results.
- Error messages don't show in the status bar anymore, alert
- panels are used instead.
- Several other GUI improvements.
+* 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.
-* Added optional Tooltips to the Message List. This is enabled by the
- 'Show tooltips' option on the '/Display/Summaries' Preferences page
- and is only possible with GTK+ >= 2.12
+* Automatic account selection is now also applied when you reply to
+ one of your own messages, e.g. from the Sent folder.
-* Much improved handling of Return Receipts, both outgoing and
- incoming.
+* 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.
-* Added the option to use the system defaults for External Programs
- preferences on the '/Message View/External Programs' page.
+* Folder list: The Home and End keys now move the selection to the
+ first folder and last folder in the tree.
-* Added "select first email in list" to the list of possible
- selections in the 'Set default selection on entering a folder'
- options on the '/Display/Summaries' preferences page.
+* Account Auto-configuration: when errors occur, a more detailed
+ error message is shown.
-* IMAP: Added IMAP tags support. (Note: 'Bandwidth-efficient' mode
- prevents fetching of tags.)
+* GnuPG plugins: An option has been added to specify the location of
+ the GnuPG executable.
-* IMAP: Optimised flag handling and message copying.
+* 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.
-* Improved printed page layout for built-in GTK+ printing
- Bold fonts are now used where appropriate and a demarcation
- between header and body has been added.
+* Python plugin: Folder has been added to MessageInfo objects.
-* Optimised filtering on flags/tags changes.
+* The GeoLocation plugin is no longer included.
-* MAEMO: Added LED flashing for new mail alerts
+* The user manual has been updated.
-* MAEMO: Made all of the left of column in the Folder List a hotspot
- for expanding/collapsing the tree.
+* The man page has been updated.
-* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, French, German,
- Hungarian, Italian, and Spanish
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech,
+ Dutch, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Norwegian Bokmål,
+ Slovak, Spanish, Swedish.
