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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Non-blocking NNTP has been implemented. NNTP support is now provided
- by and depends upon libetpan
-
-GnuTLS support has been implemented as an alternative to OpenSSL.
- [./configure --enable-gnutls]
-
-A run-time alternative configuration directory switch has been added,
- [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
-
-Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
-
-Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
- removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of
- bold text.
+* Preferences are now saved to disk immediately on pressing OK or
+ Apply.
-Templates: Added ability to attach files using |attach{filename}.
- Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.
+* 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.
-Address Book: Added duplicate finder, '/Tools/Find duplicates'.
- It is now possible to set an image for each contact. Pictures
- from a contact's Face or X-Face will be automatically set
- when available. The contact's image will be automatically
- displayed in the message view or header pane if the message
- has no Face or X-Face header.
+* 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.
-'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together
+* 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.
-GTK+ built-in print support is now used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.
- libgnomeprint will never be used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.
+* Automatic account selection is now also applied when you reply to
+ one of your own messages, e.g. from the Sent folder.
-Reinstated 'Generate Message-ID' option as an Account preference. It
- is hidden on IMAP accounts, because Message-IDs are needed on
- servers that don't implement the UIDPLUS extension.
+* 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.
-Toolbar preferences: Improved dialogue.
+* Folder list: The Home and End keys now move the selection to the
+ first folder and last folder in the tree.
-Compose window: the number of attachments is now shown in the tab's
- title.
+* Account Auto-configuration: when errors occur, a more detailed
+ error message is shown.
-Attachments: When opening attachments with 'Open' or 'Open with...'
- the temporary files are now saved as read-only. A hidden
- preference has been added, 'save_parts_readwrite', which
- permits the previous behaviour.
+* GnuPG plugins: An option has been added to specify the location of
+ the GnuPG executable.
-IMAP: Added a button on the Folder Properties General page to allow
- users to discard local caches.
- Added much better error handling.
- Fetching of cached mails has been heavily optimised.
+* 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.
-LDAP: Added read-only support for jpegPhoto LDAP field
+* Python plugin: Folder has been added to MessageInfo objects.
-Bcc in commandline URIs has been added.
+* The GeoLocation plugin is no longer included.
-Dillo browser plugin: Address book based whitelisting for loading
- remote images has been added.
+* The user manual has been updated.
-SpamAssassin plugin: Address book based whitelisting has been added.
+* The man page has been updated.

+ Dutch, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Norwegian Bokmål,
+ Slovak, Spanish, Swedish.
