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:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Due to licensing problems, the ClamAV plugin has been removed from
+ the Claws Mail core distribution and can now been found packaged
+ separately or with the 'extra plugins' package.
+
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Several GUI improvements
- The colour preferences have been split into tabs.
- Improve the way 'Find in current message' search results are
- shown by vertically centering the selected text in the
- Message View.
- Improvements to the 'List URIs' dialogue.
- Filtering/Processing Match Type dialogue has been reworked.
- Several other layout improvements.
+* Added NetworkManager support
+ This is built by default if the dependencies are satisfied; it can
+ be specifically disabled with '--disable-networkmanager-support'.
+ This enables Claws Mail to track changes to the network status.
+
+* Added DIGEST-MD5 support for IMAP authentication
+
+* Added Folder Properties option, 'Run processing rules when opening'
+ to the General page.
+
+* Added sub-sorting to the Message List; when the Sort type is either
+ Subject, From, To or Tags, sub-sorting by Date will be active.
+
+* Added from=address to the mailto sequence
+ The 'from' will try to select the first matching account in the
+ Accounts list, otherwise it will use the usual account selection
+ mechanism but will override it with the given 'from' address.
+
+* Added insert=FILE to the mailto sequence (stands for 'insert file')
+ This adds the ability to create a new message from the command-line,
+ with the body set from the contents of an existing file.
+
+* Added mailto with NNTP accounts
+ This comes into play if mailto is used when an NNTP account is the
+ default account or if an NNTP account address is used with 'from'.
-* Several address book improvements
- Added Custom Attributes, which can be edited from
- '/Tools/Edit custom attributes...' and are used from the
- 'Name' drop down list on the 'Edit Person Details' dialogue.
- Always add a new contact if any value is set, instead of
- silently rejecting it when an email address is not set.
- Better guessing of contact name from incomplete name
- information.
- Better display of contacts that have no name set, in contact
- lists, group contents, find duplicate results.
- Error messages don't show in the status bar anymore, alert
- panels are used instead.
- Several other GUI improvements.
+* Added several GUI improvements to the Filtering, Processing, Tags,
+ Actions, Templates, Logging and Address Book dialogues
-* Added optional Tooltips to the Message List. This is enabled by the
- 'Show tooltips' option on the '/Display/Summaries' Preferences page
- and is only possible with GTK+ >= 2.12
+* Added a tooltip to the 'replied' icon in the Message List which
+ indicates 'click to see your reply' feature.
-* Much improved handling of Return Receipts, both outgoing and
- incoming.
+* Added 'claws-mail --version-full' to display the version and a list
+ of the compiled-in features
-* Added the option to use the system defaults for External Programs
- preferences on the '/Message View/External Programs' page.
+* Implemented speed-ups to list operations, deletions and cache
+ updates.
-* Added "select first email in list" to the list of possible
- selections in the 'Set default selection on entering a folder'
- options on the '/Display/Summaries' preferences page.
+* Updated the man page

- prevents fetching of tags.)

-* IMAP: Optimised flag handling and message copying.
+* text/calendar message parts are now automatically displayed if a
+ plugin handling text/calendar is loaded, e.g. vCalendar.
-* Improved printed page layout for built-in GTK+ printing
- Bold fonts are now used where appropriate and a demarcation
- between header and body has been added.
