CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
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.
+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.
-* 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.
+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.
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+* 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.
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+* '/Message/Cancel sending' has been added to the main menu.
-* Added /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+* In the filtering and processing condition configuration for Age,
+ it is now possible to match based on number of hours.
-* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+* The GnuPG signature timestamp is now displayed in the full
+ signature information
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+* 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.
-* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+* Keep-alive pings are now performed on IMAP and NNTP connections.
-* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+* 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.
-* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+* PDF Viewer: The printed PDF quality has been improved.
-* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+* 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.
-* 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: Added examples.
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+* Python plugin: Added a function to get an arbitrary header from a
+ MessageInfo object
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
+* Perl plugin: The documentation for insert_perl.pl has been
+ improved.
-* 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.
+* Basic handling of vcard 3.0 has been added to vcard2xml.py.
-* 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.
+* A Swedish translation has been added to claws-mail.desktop.
+

- scripts freshmeat_search.pl, google_search.pl and multiwebsearch.pl.
