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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Non-blocking NNTP has been implemented. NNTP support is now provided
- by and depends upon libetpan
+Notes for this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-GnuTLS support has been implemented as an alternative to OpenSSL.
- [./configure --enable-gnutls]
+* 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.
-A run-time alternative configuration directory switch has been added,
- [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
-
-Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
+New in this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
- removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of
- bold text.
+* 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.
-Templates: Added ability to attach files using |attach{filename}.
- Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.
+* Added DIGEST-MD5 support for IMAP authentication
-Address Book: Added duplicate finder, '/Tools/Find duplicates'.
- It is now possible to set an image for each contact. Pictures
- from a contact's Face or X-Face will be automatically set
- when available. The contact's image will be automatically
- displayed in the message view or header pane if the message
- has no Face or X-Face header.
+* Added Folder Properties option, 'Run processing rules when opening'
+ to the General page.
-'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together
+* 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.
-GTK+ built-in print support is now used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.
- libgnomeprint will never be used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.
+* 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.
-Reinstated 'Generate Message-ID' option as an Account preference. It
- is hidden on IMAP accounts, because Message-IDs are needed on
- servers that don't implement the UIDPLUS extension.
+* 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'.
-Toolbar preferences: Improved dialogue.
+* Added several GUI improvements to the Filtering, Processing, Tags,
+ Actions, Templates, Logging and Address Book dialogues
-Compose window: the number of attachments is now shown in the tab's
- title.
+* Added a tooltip to the 'replied' icon in the Message List which
+ indicates 'click to see your reply' feature.
-Attachments: When opening attachments with 'Open' or 'Open with...'
- the temporary files are now saved as read-only. A hidden
- preference has been added, 'save_parts_readwrite', which
- permits the previous behaviour.
+* Added 'claws-mail --version-full' to display the version and a list
+ of the compiled-in features
-IMAP: Added a button on the Folder Properties General page to allow
- users to discard local caches.
- Added much better error handling.
- Fetching of cached mails has been heavily optimised.
+* Implemented speed-ups to list operations, deletions and cache
+ updates.
-LDAP: Added read-only support for jpegPhoto LDAP field
+* Updated the man page
-Bcc in commandline URIs has been added.
