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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* IMAP with STARTTLS
- The certificate port on TLS was fixed, however this will trigger
- one wrong 'New certificate' warning on the first connection.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Added an option, "Use secure file deletion if possible", which
- enables shredding of temporary files and messages instead of
- just removing them. This is available on the Other preferences
- page.
+* Passwords can now be secured with a Master Passphrase.
+ (/Configuration/Preferences/Other/Miscellaneous/)
-* Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
- messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
- preferences page.
+* 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

- the user to specify an outgoing charset/encoding, but still fall
