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.
+* Passwords can now be secured with a Master Passphrase.
+ (/Configuration/Preferences/Other/Miscellaneous/)
-* Better support of SSL certificate stores, to be able to verify
- server certificates.
+* 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
