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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Removed 'Separate Folder tree' and 'Separate Message View' and put
- new layouts in place of it, 'Standard', 'Three columns', 'Wide
- message' and 'Wide message list'. Accessible from /View/Layout.
-
-* Added IMAP subscriptions
- Creating a new folder subscribes it. Deleting a folder unsubscribes
- it. "Creating" an existing but unsubscribed folder will subscribe
- it. By default, for new accounts, only subscribed folders are shown.
- A contextual menu item has been added, /Subscriptions, which allows
- switching the display between All folders and Subscribed folders
- only. It also enables the subscribing and unsubscribing of folders.
+* Preferences are now saved to disk immediately on pressing OK or
+ Apply.
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+* 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.
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+* 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.
-* Added /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+* 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 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+* Automatic account selection is now also applied when you reply to
+ one of your own messages, e.g. from the Sent folder.
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+* 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 handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+* Folder list: The Home and End keys now move the selection to the
+ first folder and last folder in the tree.
-* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+* Account Auto-configuration: when errors occur, a more detailed
+ error message is shown.
-* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+* GnuPG plugins: An option has been added to specify the location of
+ the GnuPG executable.
-* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+* 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.
-* Some preferences have been re-arranged:
- Moved the 'Ask before emptying trash' option on the 'Other' page
- outside of the 'On exit' frame as it's not only an 'On exit' option.
- Moved 'Never send Return Receipts' from 'Other' to 'Sending' page.
- Moved keybinding preferences to the 'Other' page.
- Added 'mousepad' to the list of text editors on the 'External
- Programs' page.
+* Python plugin: Folder has been added to MessageInfo objects.
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+* The GeoLocation plugin is no longer included.
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
+* The user manual has been updated.
-* GPG Plugins: Added an option 'Use gpg-agent to manage passwords' to
- GPG page of the common preferences. Fixes annoyances with distro-
- installed gpg-agent, when no pinentry program is installed, and the
- user is at a loss on why "decryption failed". It can be turned off
- to bypass gpg-agent. The option is disabled if gpg-agent is not
- running.
+* The man page has been updated.
-* TrayIcon plugin: Added 'Hide at startup' and 'Close to tray'
- options.
- When the 'Close to tray' option is used the Window Manager's hotkey
- and [X] button will hide the window instead of closing it - closing
- CM can be done using the tray icon menu or the /File menu.
- Clicking the trayicon now raises the window to current desktop when
- it was either minimized or shaded, or when it was on another desktop.
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech,
+ Dutch, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Norwegian Bokmål,
+ Slovak, Spanish, Swedish.
-* Added support for non ISO-8859-1 compatible locales to the Actions
- scripts freshmeat_search.pl, google_search.pl and multiwebsearch.pl.
-
-* Renamed the maildir2claws-mail.pl script to kmail-mailbox2claws-mail.pl
- and updated it to work with newer versions of Kmail.
+* New translations: Italian, Traditional Chinese.
-* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
- thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
-
-* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish,
- French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
- Slovak and Spanish translations.
+* Removed translations: Indonesian, Polish.
