CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
-
+
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Non-blocking NNTP has been implemented. NNTP support is now provided
- by and depends upon libetpan
-
-GnuTLS support has been implemented as an alternative to OpenSSL.
- [./configure --enable-gnutls]
-
-A run-time alternative configuration directory switch has been added,
- [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
-
-Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
-
-Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
- removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of
- bold text.
-
-Templates: Added ability to attach files using |attach{filename}.
- Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.
-
-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.
-
-'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together
+* 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.
+
+* 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+ Indicate when a key has been revoked or has expired when displaying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+ "Good signature from %s, but the key has been revoked."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.
+
+ The "Content-Disposition: attachment" flag in PGP/MIME signed
+ messages has been removed. It was confusing for cetain MUAs.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
-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.
+* In the Compose window, when navigating with the arrow keys,
+ selecting, and thus modifying, the Account selector is now
+ prevented.
-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.
+* In the Compose window, a mnemonic (s) has been added to the Subject
+ line.
-Toolbar preferences: Improved dialogue.
+* The Queue folder is highlighted if there are messages in its sub-
+ folders and the tree is collapsed.
-Compose window: the number of attachments is now shown in the tab's
- title.
+* When sorting messages by 'thread date', clicking the 'Date' column
+ header will now toggle between ascending/descending and will not
+ switch to 'date' sorting.
-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.
+* 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.
-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.
+* A Reply-To field has been added to the main Template configuration.
-LDAP: Added read-only support for jpegPhoto LDAP field
+* The menubar can now be hidden, default hotkey: F12.
-Bcc in commandline URIs has been added.
+* Fancy plugin: A user-controlled stylesheet can now be used.
-Dillo browser plugin: Address book based whitelisting for loading
- remote images has been added.
+* Python plugin: Add flag attributes to MessageInfo object.
-SpamAssassin plugin: Address book based whitelisting has been added.
+* Python plugin: Make 'account' property of ComposeWindow read/write.
-MAEMO: Maemo 4.0 (Chinook) build enabled.
+* Libravatar plugin: a network timeout option has been added.
-MAEMO: Removed some useless tooltips.
+* 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.
-tools/csv2addressbook.pl
- a new script that imports a CSV formatted address book. Becky
- and Thunderbird address book are currently supported.
+* The tbird2claws.py script, for converting a Thunderbird mailbox to
+ a Claws Mail mailbox, now handles sub-directory recursion.
-Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, French, German,
- Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Simplified Chinese, and Slovak
