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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* 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.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* 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.
+* SSLv3 server connections are now disabled by default, in response
+ to the POODLE vulnerability, see
+ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3566.
-* Added DIGEST-MD5 support for IMAP authentication
+* Several PGP/Core plugin improvements
+ Indicate when a key has been revoked or has expired when displaying
+ signature status. For example,
+ "Good signature from %s, but the key has expired."
+ "Good signature from %s, but the key has been revoked."
+ When displaying the full information, show the Validity, and the
+ Owner Trust level. Also indicate expired and revoked keys, and
+ revoked UIDs.
-* Added Folder Properties option, 'Run processing rules when opening'
- to the General page.
+ The "Content-Disposition: attachment" flag in PGP/MIME signed
+ messages has been removed. It was confusing for cetain MUAs.
-* 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.
+* A new version of the RSSyl plugin, completely redesigned and
+ rewritten. Migration from the previous version is automatic,
+ it has a new storage format in ~/.claws-mail/RSSyl/ (hierarchical
+ directories instead of flat file format). It uses the expat
+ library instead of libxml2 for parsing feed data.
-* 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.
+* The results of TAB address completion in the Compose window have
+ improved ordering.
+ Order of results:
+ 1. Match beginning of name
+ 2. Match beginning of additional names
+ 3. Match complete email address before @
+ 4. Match beginning of email address
+ 5. Compare relative position of match
+ 6. Compare name alphabetically
+ 7. Compare address alphabetically.
+
+* Due to popular demand, use of the Up key in the message body in the
+ Compose window stops at the top of the message body and does not
+ continue up to the header fields. This reverts the behaviour
+ introduced in version 3.10.0.
-* 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'.
+* In the Compose window, when navigating with the arrow keys,
+ selecting, and thus modifying, the Account selector is now
+ prevented.
-* Added several GUI improvements to the Filtering, Processing, Tags,
- Actions, Templates, Logging and Address Book dialogues
+* In the Compose window, a mnemonic (s) has been added to the Subject
+ line.
-* Added a tooltip to the 'replied' icon in the Message List which
- indicates 'click to see your reply' feature.
+* The Queue folder is highlighted if there are messages in its sub-
+ folders and the tree is collapsed.
-* Added 'claws-mail --version-full' to display the version and a list
- of the compiled-in features
+* When sorting messages by 'thread date', clicking the 'Date' column
+ header will now toggle between ascending/descending and will not
+ switch to 'date' sorting.
-* Implemented speed-ups to list operations, deletions and cache
- updates.
+* A new QuickSearch filter has been added that searches a header's
+ content only.
+ H S : messages which contain S in the value of any header.
-* Updated the man page
+* A Reply-To field has been added to the main Template configuration.
-* The Trayicon plugin icons are now themable.
+* The menubar can now be hidden, default hotkey: F12.
-* text/calendar message parts are now automatically displayed if a
- plugin handling text/calendar is loaded, e.g. vCalendar.
+* Fancy plugin: A user-controlled stylesheet can now be used.
-* Maemo: connect HW status change signal for shutdown
+* Python plugin: Add flag attributes to MessageInfo object.
-* Maemo: identify mmc1 and mmc2 more clearly in the GUI
+* Python plugin: Make 'account' property of ComposeWindow read/write.
-* Maemo: Make dnd threshold higher
+* Libravatar plugin: a network timeout option has been added.
-* New translations: Hebrew
+* appdata has been added for package managers, it must be
+ specifically enabled, using ./configure --enable-appdata
+ See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for further
+ information.
-* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech,
- Finnish, German, Hungarian, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish
+* The tbird2claws.py script, for converting a Thunderbird mailbox to
+ a Claws Mail mailbox, now handles sub-directory recursion.
