CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Removed 'Separate Folder tree' and 'Separate Message View' and put
- new layouts in place of it, 'Standard', 'Three columns', 'Wide
- message' and 'Wide message list'. Accessible from /View/Layout.
+Non-blocking NNTP has been implemented. NNTP support is now provided
+ by and depends upon libetpan
-* Added IMAP subscriptions
- Creating a new folder subscribes it. Deleting a folder unsubscribes
- it. "Creating" an existing but unsubscribed folder will subscribe
- it. By default, for new accounts, only subscribed folders are shown.
- A contextual menu item has been added, /Subscriptions, which allows
- switching the display between All folders and Subscribed folders
- only. It also enables the subscribing and unsubscribing of folders.
+GnuTLS support has been implemented as an alternative to OpenSSL.
+ [./configure --enable-gnutls]
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+A run-time alternative configuration directory switch has been added,
+ [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
-* Added /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
+ removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of
+ bold text.
-* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+Templates: Added ability to attach files using |attach{filename}.
+ Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+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 handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together
-* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+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 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+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 an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+Toolbar preferences: Improved dialogue.
-* Some preferences have been re-arranged:
- Moved the 'Ask before emptying trash' option on the 'Other' page
- outside of the 'On exit' frame as it's not only an 'On exit' option.
- Moved 'Never send Return Receipts' from 'Other' to 'Sending' page.
- Moved keybinding preferences to the 'Other' page.
- Added 'mousepad' to the list of text editors on the 'External
- Programs' page.
+Compose window: the number of attachments is now shown in the tab's
+ title.
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+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.
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
+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.
-* GPG Plugins: Added an option 'Use gpg-agent to manage passwords' to
- GPG page of the common preferences. Fixes annoyances with distro-
- installed gpg-agent, when no pinentry program is installed, and the
- user is at a loss on why "decryption failed". It can be turned off
- to bypass gpg-agent. The option is disabled if gpg-agent is not
- running.
+LDAP: Added read-only support for jpegPhoto LDAP field
-* TrayIcon plugin: Added 'Hide at startup' and 'Close to tray'
- options.
- When the 'Close to tray' option is used the Window Manager's hotkey
- and [X] button will hide the window instead of closing it - closing
- CM can be done using the tray icon menu or the /File menu.
- Clicking the trayicon now raises the window to current desktop when
- it was either minimized or shaded, or when it was on another desktop.
+Bcc in commandline URIs has been added.
-* Added support for non ISO-8859-1 compatible locales to the Actions
- scripts freshmeat_search.pl, google_search.pl and multiwebsearch.pl.
-
-* Renamed the maildir2claws-mail.pl script to kmail-mailbox2claws-mail.pl
- and updated it to work with newer versions of Kmail.
+Dillo browser plugin: Address book based whitelisting for loading
+ remote images has been added.
-* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
- thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.

- French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
- Slovak and Spanish translations.
