CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
-Claws Mail was previously known as Sylpheed-Claws.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* The --select option can now also select emails by Message-ID
-
-* Attaching files from 'mailto:' URIs (&attach=...) is now possible.
- A dialog is displayed to make sure that the user is aware that the
- mail will contain attachments
-
-* 'New Message format' has been added to the Compose/Writing options,
- this works like the Quote format and the same symbols are supported
+Non-blocking NNTP has been implemented. NNTP support is now provided
+ by and depends upon libetpan
-* Reworked the About dialog, including the addition of a new page,
- 'Features', which indicates which of the optional features are
- compiled in and which are not. A 'Release Notes' page was also
- added
+GnuTLS support has been implemented as an alternative to OpenSSL.
+ [./configure --enable-gnutls]
-* Added history combo for all search fields (message and text)
+A run-time alternative configuration directory switch has been added,
+ [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
-* The 'mark_as_read_delay' option is not hidden anymore and can be
- found in Configuration/Preferences/Summaries
+Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
-* Added global and per-folder preferences to set the default
- alternate dictionary
+Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
+ removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of
+ bold text.
-* Allow spell-checking to use both current and alternate dictionaries
+Templates: Added ability to attach files using |attach{filename}.
+ Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.
-* Added an hidden option 'addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog' to
- embed the contact editor in the addressbook window in contrast to
- a separate dialog
+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 a hidden option 'unsafe_ssl_certs', to allow storing
- multiple SSL certificates for a given server/port. You will be
- asked to accept unknown certificates. Unchecking this option will
- require you to re-accept previously known certificates
+'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together
-* Allow copying of folders between mailboxes
+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.
-* Better automatic account selection for mailing lists (searches for
- the email address in the Delivered-To header also)
+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.
-* Made the "Synchronise" menu item inactive when there's nothing to
- synchronise
+Toolbar preferences: Improved dialogue.
-* Use Message font in Writing and Quoting preferences, as well as in
- Templates

+ title.
-* Added more HTML symbols to the html to text converter
+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.
-* Save the addressbook's window size on closing
+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.

- formats
+LDAP: Added read-only support for jpegPhoto LDAP field
