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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Claws Mail now requires libetpan 0.56 for IMAP and NNTP
-
-* Spell checking is now provided by Enchant instead of Aspell. To
- build spell checker support, you will need the libenchant headers.
-
-* The S/MIME plugin is now part of this package.
-
-* IMAP, NNTP, and SSL are now supported in the Windows port.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Support for client SSL certificates.
+* '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.
-* Better support of SSL certificate stores, to be able to verify
- server certificates.
+* 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.
-* Renaming of newsgroups is possible.
+* IMAP mailboxes which show subscribed folders only are now indicated
+ by a green folder icon.
-* "Always open message when selected" can now have three values:
- 'Never', 'Always' and 'When message view is visible'.
+* The Icon Legend has had the missing folder icons added and also has
+ an improved layout.
-* Unsaved server passwords can now be temporarily saved for the
- duration of the session. They can be cleared before the session
- expires by using '/Tools/Forget all session passwords'.
+* 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.
-* Auto-wrapping settings are now saved in drafted messages.
+* Disable hiding threads and messages in draft folders.
-* Support for basic auto-indentation in the Compose window.
+* The /View/Go to/... actions now respect the 'Open message when
+ selected' option.
-* Support for animated GIFs in the message view.
+* In the UI 'POP' is used instead of 'POP3', 'IMAP' instead of
+ 'IMAP4', 'SSL/TLS' instead of 'SSL'.
-* Type-ahead search in Filtering, Templates, Actions dialogs now
- select the result of the search.
+* GnuTLS: Enforce "strong enough" Diffie-Hellman prime even when
+ using older versions of GnuTLS library.
-* Finer granularity in POP3 accounts' Remove After delay - hours in
- addition to days.
+ 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.
-* Spam/Ham flag is now stored on IMAP server when possible, using
- "Junk" and "NonJunk" keywords.
+ 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.
-* Use less precise intervals when possible for auto-checking, thus
- the CPU is woken up less frequently.
+* RSSyl plugin: Enable keeping old items by default.
-* The warning icon in the main window is cleared when the error it
- relates to is clipped from the network log.
+* vCalendar plugin: The ics file name is now used for the WebCal
+ subscription folder name.
-* IMAP errors now reveal the server on which they happen.
+* vCalendar plugin: Use hours/minutes for vcalendar alert time.
-* All deprecated GTK interfaces have been replaced with their
- non-deprecated equivalents.
+* Notification plugin: Add support for unity/messaging menu.
-* csv2addressbook.pl: Added support for FoxMail.
+* PDF Viewer plugin: The icons are now themeable.
-* Updated translations: British English, Bulgarian, Catalan, Dutch,
- Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian,
- Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and 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.
