+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
+ 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
+ keys, preventing accidental changes.
+
+* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
+ application/postscript and text/calendar.
+
+* Added /Tools/List URIs
+ Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
+ selected mail.
+
+* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+
+* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
+ opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
+ the next startup.
+
+* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
+ command line.
+
+* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+
+* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+
+* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
+ the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
+ Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+
+* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
+ maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
+ thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
+
+* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish,
+ French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
+ Slovak and Spanish translations.
+
+* Bug fixes:
+ o bug 1033, 'Automatically refresh message list when new
+ messages arrives'
+ o bug 1106, 'Claws crash on exit if LDAPS autocompletion
+ was used'
+ o bug 1110, 'pgpmime fails to process encapsulated openpgp
+ mime (rfc 3156, 6.1 -> rfc1847)'
+ o bug 1116, 'summary view allow a subject line break'
+ o bug 1117, 'fcntl locking code does not work in mbox.c'
+ o bug 1123, 'Segmentation fault while opening address book'
+ o Gentoo bug 165819, 'can't create a "local mbox file" account'
