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.
+* Passwords can now be secured with a Master Passphrase.
+ (/Configuration/Preferences/Other/Miscellaneous/)
+
+* Passwords: The password storage method has changed. All passwords
+ are now stored in a separate file, (~/.claws-mail/passwordstorerc),
+ and use a stronger encryption than previously. Existing passwords
+ are moved to the new file automatically, in the old format. The
+ new format will be used whenever old passwords are changed or when
+ a Master Passphrase is used. All new passwords are saved using the
+ new format, irrespective of whether a Master Passphrase is used or
+ not. Further information can be found here:
+ http://www.claws-mail.org/doc/password_encryption.txt
+
+* Compose window: Removed the outer scrollbar from header area.
+
+* Message view: The HTML to plain text converter now indicates list
+ items with a hyphen (-), adds a line break after <dd>, and indents
+ text within blockquotes.
-* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
- they're INVALID!).
+* Main window: Changed default /View/Show or hide/Menubar shortcut to
+ Ctrl+F12.
-* 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'.
+* SSL certificates list: Added automatic scrollbar.
-* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
- Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
+* Address book: Double-clicking datasources now opens the edit
+ dialogue.
-* 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.
+* Forwarding: The external editor is now automatically used when
+ forwarding as attachment, if the preference is set.
-* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
+* Preferences: Automatic mail checking can now be configured in
+ hours, minutes and seconds.
+ (/Configuration/Preferences/Mail Handling/Receiving)
-* 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.
+* Preferences: The 'next_on_delete' hidden preference now applies to
+ trashing or moving, in addition to deleting, a message.
-* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
- added.
+* Command line: Added -geometry to set geometry for main window.
-* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
- servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
+* IMAP: Added SASL 'PLAIN' and 'LOGIN' authentication methods for
+ accounts. Renamed the old plaintext 'LOGIN' to 'plaintext'.
-* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
- thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
+* IMAP: The acccount preference, 'Move deleted mails to trash and
+ expunge immediately' has been removed.
-* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
+* Notification plugin: Added 'Get mail from account...' to the
+ SysTray module's menu.
-* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
- German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
+* Notification plugin: Focus the widget between iconify/deiconify
+ events.
+
+* Tools: Added tools/cm-reparent.pl, which can be used to fix thread
+ parenting for two or more messages.
+
+* Documentation: Updated man page and manual.
+
+* Translations: Updated: Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Czech, Dutch,
+ Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian,
+ Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional
+ Chinese.
+ Added: Danish, Indonesian, Turkish.
+ Dropped: Lithuanian (unmaintained)
