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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* libetpan 0.48 or greater is now required for IMAP support.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* The Compose window now has an /Options/Reply mode/ menu. This
- enables changing the recipients of a reply on the fly.
+* 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.
-* QuickSearch now has a type-ahead option for fast searches.
+* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
+ 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
+ keys, preventing accidental changes.
-* Extra symbols are now available for the Quote parser, your name,
- your email address, the account name, and the organization.
+* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
+ application/postscript and text/calendar.
-* In the Folder Properties, it is now possible to test the regular
- expression used in the Simplify Subject RegExp option.
+* Added /Tools/List URIs
+ Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
+ selected mail.
-* GSSAPI support has been added for IMAP.
+* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
-* UIDPLUS support has been added for IMAP.
+* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
+ opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
+ the next startup.
-* A Stop button has been added for Message Body searches, enabling
- cancelling of a running search. This is available in '/Edit/Search
- Folder...' and '/Edit/Find in current message...'.
+* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
+ command line.
-* libSM support has been added. This enables communication with the
- session manager, so that it is known when the session ends, in
- order to save the caches, and draft any messages currently being
- composed.
+* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
-* Support for Address Book Groups has been added to the Compose
- window's automatic address completion.
+* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
-* a new hidden option has been added, 'respect_flowed_format'. This
- follows RFC3676 with regard to a message part with a Content-Type
- that includes 'format=flowed' and 'delsp=yes'. This will cause some
- mails to have long lines, but will fix some URLs that would
- otherwise be wrapped. By default it is turned off.
+* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
+ the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
-* Basic key import/export has been added to the PGP plugins. When
- generating a new key pair you can export the public key to a key
- server. When selecting the signature part of a message, if the key
- is not on your keyring, you will be asked if you want to attempt
- to import it from a keyserver.
+* 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.
-* The TrayIcon now displays 'offline' status.
+* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
+ Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
-* More window sizes and placements are remembered across sessions.
+* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
+ maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
-* tools/fix_date.sh: Switches to replace non RFC-compliant Date:
- value, and to use strict RFC matching patterns for dates have been
- added.
+* 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.
-* Several optimisations have been made.
+* 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.
-* The manual has been updated.
+* 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.
-* Updated translations in Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, French,
- German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, Spanish, and Swedish
+* 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.
