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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-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.
+* '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.
-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.
+* 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.
-* 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.
+* IMAP mailboxes which show subscribed folders only are now indicated
+ by a green folder icon.
-* '/Message/Cancel sending' has been added to the main menu.
+* The Icon Legend has had the missing folder icons added and also has
+ an improved layout.
-* In the filtering and processing condition configuration for Age,
- it is now possible to match based on number of hours.
+* 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.
-* The GnuPG signature timestamp is now displayed in the full
- signature information
+* Disable hiding threads and messages in draft folders.
-* 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.
+* The /View/Go to/... actions now respect the 'Open message when
+ selected' option.
-* Keep-alive pings are now performed on IMAP and NNTP connections.
+* In the UI 'POP' is used instead of 'POP3', 'IMAP' instead of
+ 'IMAP4', 'SSL/TLS' instead of 'SSL'.
-* 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.
+* GnuTLS: Enforce "strong enough" Diffie-Hellman prime even when
+ using older versions of GnuTLS library.
-* PDF Viewer: The printed PDF quality has been improved.
+ 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.
-* 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.
+ 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.
-* Python plugin: Added examples.
+* RSSyl plugin: Enable keeping old items by default.
-* Python plugin: Added a function to get an arbitrary header from a
- MessageInfo object
+* vCalendar plugin: The ics file name is now used for the WebCal
+ subscription folder name.
-* Perl plugin: The documentation for insert_perl.pl has been
- improved.
+* vCalendar plugin: Use hours/minutes for vcalendar alert time.
-* Basic handling of vcard 3.0 has been added to vcard2xml.py.
+* Notification plugin: Add support for unity/messaging menu.
-* A Swedish translation has been added to claws-mail.desktop.
-
-* The man page has been updated.
+* PDF Viewer plugin: The icons are now themeable.
-* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
- German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish
+* 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.
