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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Several GUI improvements
- The colour preferences have been split into tabs.
- Improve the way 'Find in current message' search results are
- shown by vertically centering the selected text in the
- Message View.
- Improvements to the 'List URIs' dialogue.
- Filtering/Processing Match Type dialogue has been reworked.
- Several other layout improvements.
+* '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.
-* Several address book improvements
- Added Custom Attributes, which can be edited from
- '/Tools/Edit custom attributes...' and are used from the
- 'Name' drop down list on the 'Edit Person Details' dialogue.
- Always add a new contact if any value is set, instead of
- silently rejecting it when an email address is not set.
- Better guessing of contact name from incomplete name
- information.
- Better display of contacts that have no name set, in contact
- lists, group contents, find duplicate results.
- Error messages don't show in the status bar anymore, alert
- panels are used instead.
- Several other GUI improvements.
+* The Icon Legend has had the missing folder icons added and also has
+ an improved layout.
-* Added optional Tooltips to the Message List. This is enabled by the
- 'Show tooltips' option on the '/Display/Summaries' Preferences page
- and is only possible with GTK+ >= 2.12
+* 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.
-* Much improved handling of Return Receipts, both outgoing and
- incoming.
+* Disable hiding threads and messages in draft folders.
-* Added the option to use the system defaults for External Programs
- preferences on the '/Message View/External Programs' page.
+* The /View/Go to/... actions now respect the 'Open message when
+ selected' option.
-* Added "select first email in list" to the list of possible
- selections in the 'Set default selection on entering a folder'
- options on the '/Display/Summaries' preferences page.
+* In the UI 'POP' is used instead of 'POP3', 'IMAP' instead of
+ 'IMAP4', 'SSL/TLS' instead of 'SSL'.
-* IMAP: Added IMAP tags support. (Note: 'Bandwidth-efficient' mode
- prevents fetching of tags.)
+* GnuTLS: Enforce "strong enough" Diffie-Hellman prime even when
+ using older versions of GnuTLS library.
-* IMAP: Optimised flag handling and message copying.
+ 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.
-* Improved printed page layout for built-in GTK+ printing
- Bold fonts are now used where appropriate and a demarcation
- between header and body has 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.
-* Optimised filtering on flags/tags changes.
+* RSSyl plugin: Enable keeping old items by default.
-* MAEMO: Added LED flashing for new mail alerts
+* vCalendar plugin: The ics file name is now used for the WebCal
+ subscription folder name.
-* MAEMO: Made all of the left of column in the Folder List a hotspot
- for expanding/collapsing the tree.
+* vCalendar plugin: Use hours/minutes for vcalendar alert time.
-* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, French, German,
- Hungarian, Italian, and Spanish
+* 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.
