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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
- Properties.
+* 'hide_timezone', a new hidden preference that sets the timezone of
+ date fields sent over the network to the unknown timezone value as
+ specified in RFC 5322 §3.3. Default value is false (i.e., send
+ available timezone information).
+
+* 'rewrite_first_from', a new hidden preference which works around a
+ limitation of some servers with 'overly-liberal parsers'. When this
+ is turned on and the Content-Transfer-Encoding is set to 8bit or
+ 7bit, in a message body starting with 'From ' the 'From ' will
+ become '=46rom ' (i,e, encoded form of 'F') and the Content-
+ Transfer-Encoding will be changed to Quoted-Printable. When it is
+ turned off no such modification will be made but it is very likely
+ that an MTA will convert the 'From ' to '>From '. See RFC 4155 for
+ further details. Default value is '1', turned on.
+
+* Templates: it is now possible to attach a file, using
+ '|attach_output{sub_expr}' or '|A{sub_expr}', 'sub_expr' is
+ evaluated as a command-line to get the filename name from, using an
+ absolute /path/to/filename.
+
+* IMAP mailboxes which show subscribed folders only are now indicated
+ by a green folder icon.
+
+* The Icon Legend has had the missing folder icons added and also has
+ an improved layout.
-* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
- they're INVALID!).
+* Drafted messages: Do not add Message-ID for draft, unless the
+ message already has one. A Message-ID header is now only added when
+ queuing a message, and any existing Message-ID and References
+ headers in drafts, if there are any, are kept.
-* A 'Metadata handling' option has been added to the Miscellaneous
- options page. The options are 'safer' or 'faster'. 'faster' is
- Claws' original behaviour. 'safer' prevents data loss on system
- crashes where the filesystem is of a 'not-so-robust' variety, e.g.
- xfs. If in doubt, use 'safer'. This option defaults to 'safer'.
+* Disable hiding threads and messages in draft folders.
-* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
- Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
+* The /View/Go to/... actions now respect the 'Open message when
+ selected' option.
-* An option has been added to the Receive page of IMAP account
- preferences, "Move deleted mails to trash and expunge immediately".
- This option is on by default to avoid changing the existing
- behaviour. Turning it off prevents automatic expunging.
- Also, 'Tools/Expunge' and 'View/Hide deleted messages' menu items
- have been added to main toolbar.
+* In the UI 'POP' is used instead of 'POP3', 'IMAP' instead of
+ 'IMAP4', 'SSL/TLS' instead of 'SSL'.
-* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
+* GnuTLS: Enforce "strong enough" Diffie-Hellman prime even when
+ using older versions of GnuTLS library.
-* In the Compose window a warning dialogue is raised if attachments
- that have been added no longer exist on the filesystem at the time
- of sending.
+ Since GnuTLS 3.1.7, this minimum size is dictated by the priority
+ string, and currently (GnuTLS 3.3.0) the "safe-enough" value is
+ 1008 bits. We set this minimum size explicitly for older GnuTLS
+ versions.
-* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
- added.
+ Users who are affected by this (their servers use DH prime smaller
+ than 1008 bits) can override this by using a priority string
+ starting with the keyword "LEGACY". However, this keyword only
+ works with GnuTLS 3.3.0 or newer.
-* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
- servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
+* RSSyl plugin: Enable keeping old items by default.
-* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
- thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
+* vCalendar plugin: The ics file name is now used for the WebCal
+ subscription folder name.
-* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
+* vCalendar plugin: Use hours/minutes for vcalendar alert time.
-* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
- German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
+* Notification plugin: Add support for unity/messaging menu.
+
+* PDF Viewer plugin: The icons are now themeable.
+
+* Updated manual in English and Spanish.
+
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Czech, Danish,
+ Dutch, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian
+ Bokmål, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese,
+ and Turkish.
