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.
+* Added support for /dev/mem_notify. This Linux kernel feature
+ will allow applications to be notified that memory has to be
+ freed before getting OOM-killed.
+ For more information: http://lwn.net/Articles/267013/
-* 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.
+* Enabled moving/copying folders to root folders when using the
+ folder selection dialogue.
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+* Global and per-folder templates can now override the From name.
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+* Added a tooltip with extended folder stats. (Hover the cursor over
+ the short stats on the right, below the message list.)
-* Added /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+* Implemented 2-line items in the message list when in three column
+ mode.
-* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+* Added support for png themes.
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+* Added an icon for attached patches (text/x-patch and text/x-diff).
-* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+* When viewing a message that has a large amount of text, show a
+ maximum of 1MB of text and add a noticeview to show optionally show
+ the whole message.
-* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+* Added a button to the templates preferences to restore defaults for
+ current language.
-* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+* Added search in filtering rules list.
-* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+* Bogofilter Plugin:
+ Added a "learn from whitelist" preference.
-* 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.
+* MAEMO:
+ Added information when fetching large messages.
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ Added support for Kmail/Kaddressbook.
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
-
-* 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.
-
-* 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.
-
-* 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.
-
-* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
- thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
-
