CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
-
+
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
-Notes for this release:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-libetpan 0.49 is now required for IMAP support
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Added "From, To or Subject" to the QuickSearch types.
-
-* Added handling of the 'a' key to loop through a mail's MIME parts.
-
-* In the Compose window "Add to address book" has been added to the
- context menu of the sender and recipient fields.
-
-* Implemented a proper References filtering condition.
-
-* Added the possibility to cancel receiving in IMAP accounts.
+* '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).
-* Made offline synchronisation faster.
+* '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.
-* Added an alternate way to fetch flags on IMAP, which improves
- performance with some servers, (like Exchange).
- See "Bandwidth-efficient mode" in IMAP accounts' Receive
- preferences.
+* 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.
-* Allow manual sorting of Templates.
+* IMAP mailboxes which show subscribed folders only are now indicated
+ by a green folder icon.
-* Templates improvements: easier syntax, add some useful variables.
+* The Icon Legend has had the missing folder icons added and also has
+ an improved layout.
-* Implemented per-account and per-folder compose/reply/forward
- Templates.
+* 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.
-* Added a QuickSearch option to automatically run a search selected
- from the history.
+* Disable hiding threads and messages in draft folders.
-* Made the Summaries Preferemces page "when entering a folder..."
- options fully customisable.
+* The /View/Go to/... actions now respect the 'Open message when
+ selected' option.
-* Added an "Open last opened folder at startup" option to the
- Summaries page in the Prerferences.
+* In the UI 'POP' is used instead of 'POP3', 'IMAP' instead of
+ 'IMAP4', 'SSL/TLS' instead of 'SSL'.
-* Changed the Preference "Only mark as read when opened in new
- window" on the Summaries page to "Only mark as read when opened
- in new window, or replied to".
+* GnuTLS: Enforce "strong enough" Diffie-Hellman prime even when
+ using older versions of GnuTLS library.
-* Allow disabling mail filtering plugins on a per-account
- basis.
+ 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.
-* Added an option to the Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins to
- enable marking saved spam as Read.
+ 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.
-* Added a warning about encryption limits, which can be disabled.
+* RSSyl plugin: Enable keeping old items by default.
-* Removed the "Download all" preference from POP3 accounts; it
- was useless and confusing.
+* vCalendar plugin: The ics file name is now used for the WebCal
+ subscription folder name.
-* Re-organized some Preferences page.
+* vCalendar plugin: Use hours/minutes for vcalendar alert time.
-* Replaced the tabbed layout in Account Preferences with pages.
+* Notification plugin: Add support for unity/messaging menu.
-* Renamed 'Protocol Log' to 'Network Log'
+* PDF Viewer plugin: The icons are now themeable.
-* Added a few cursor improvments while Claws is busy.
+* Updated manual in English and Spanish.
-* Added support for CRLF in headers of messages.
-
-* Added support for a few more date formats (RFC3339 subsets).
-
-* The keypad's Enter key now does the same as the Return key.
-
-* Improved LDIF import, better error handling, UI cleanup.
-
-* LDAP write support has been added.
-
-* Use Hildon's file chooser on Maemo.
-
-* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, French, German,
- Hungarian, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish translations.
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Czech, Danish,
+ Dutch, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian
+ Bokmål, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese,
+ and Turkish.
