+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Automatic account selection is now also applied when you reply to
+ one of your own messages, e.g. from the Sent folder.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Folder list: The Home and End keys now move the selection to the
+ first folder and last folder in the tree.
+
+* Account Auto-configuration: when errors occur, a more detailed
+ error message is shown.
+
+* GnuPG plugins: An option has been added to specify the location of
+ the GnuPG executable.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Python plugin: Folder has been added to MessageInfo objects.
+
+* The GeoLocation plugin is no longer included.
+
+* The user manual has been updated.
+
+* The man page has been updated.
+
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech,
+ Dutch, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Norwegian Bokmål,
+ Slovak, Spanish, Swedish.
+
+* New translations: Italian, Traditional Chinese.
+
+* Removed translations: Indonesian, Polish.
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ o bug 2115, 'Drag n' Drop of files with special characters
+ crashes CM'
+ o bug 3209, 'autoconfig does not use full email address as
+ username'
+ o bug 3253, 'all addresses of getaddrinfo() result should be
+ tried'
+ o bug 3263, 'Wrong timezone while using date_fmt function'
+ o bug 3296, 'Crash on double notification popup'
+ o bug 3352, 'found_in_addressbook matches entries from GPG

+ characters in filename are not opened'
+ o bug 3473, 'base64 regression with old glib2 (before
+ 2.26.0)'
+ o bug 3475, 'Attachment dragged to email must be dropped to
+ attachment tab only - reggresion'
+ o bug 3483, 'When replying to a *de*crypted message, it is
+ contained *encrypted* in reply'
+ o bug 3507, 'build fails w/o GnuTLS'
+ o bug 3516, 'vCard icon misplaced'
+ o bug 3524, 'vCard does not decode all quoted-printable
+ values'
+ o bug 3531, 'a/z hotkeys crash Claws immediately after
+ startup'
+ o make 'date' (not thread date) the default sort when
+ clicking column header to switch to date sort.
+ o Several memory leaks in RSSyl.
+ o IPv6 now works on Windows, for connections not handled by
+ libetpan.
+ o GPG preferences initialization.
+ o Possible crash when gpg is upgraded to gpg-v21
+ o Save temporary file in mime temporary directory when using
+ right-click/Open image instead of saving in current working
+ directory.
+ o Crash in address completion when matching group name.
