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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Claws Mail now requires libetpan 0.56 for IMAP and NNTP
-
-* Spell checking is now provided by Enchant instead of Aspell. To
- build spell checker support, you will need the libenchant headers.
-
-* The S/MIME plugin is now part of this package.
-
-* IMAP, NNTP, and SSL are now supported in the Windows port.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Support for client SSL certificates.
+* 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+ Indicate when a key has been revoked or has expired when displaying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+ "Good signature from %s, but the key has been revoked."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.
-* Better support of SSL certificate stores, to be able to verify
- server certificates.
+ The "Content-Disposition: attachment" flag in PGP/MIME signed
+ messages has been removed. It was confusing for cetain MUAs.
-* Renaming of newsgroups is possible.
+* 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.
-* "Always open message when selected" can now have three values:
- 'Never', 'Always' and 'When message view is visible'.
+* 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.
-* Unsaved server passwords can now be temporarily saved for the
- duration of the session. They can be cleared before the session
- expires by using '/Tools/Forget all session passwords'.
+* In the Compose window, when navigating with the arrow keys,
+ selecting, and thus modifying, the Account selector is now
+ prevented.
-* Auto-wrapping settings are now saved in drafted messages.
+* In the Compose window, a mnemonic (s) has been added to the Subject
+ line.
-* Support for basic auto-indentation in the Compose window.
+* The Queue folder is highlighted if there are messages in its sub-
+ folders and the tree is collapsed.
-* Support for animated GIFs in the message view.
+* When sorting messages by 'thread date', clicking the 'Date' column
+ header will now toggle between ascending/descending and will not
+ switch to 'date' sorting.
-* Type-ahead search in Filtering, Templates, Actions dialogs now
- select the result of the search.
+* 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.
-* Finer granularity in POP3 accounts' Remove After delay - hours in
- addition to days.
+* A Reply-To field has been added to the main Template configuration.
-* Spam/Ham flag is now stored on IMAP server when possible, using
- "Junk" and "NonJunk" keywords.
+* The menubar can now be hidden, default hotkey: F12.
-* Use less precise intervals when possible for auto-checking, thus
- the CPU is woken up less frequently.
+* Fancy plugin: A user-controlled stylesheet can now be used.
-* The warning icon in the main window is cleared when the error it
- relates to is clipped from the network log.
+* Python plugin: Add flag attributes to MessageInfo object.
-* IMAP errors now reveal the server on which they happen.
+* Python plugin: Make 'account' property of ComposeWindow read/write.
-* All deprecated GTK interfaces have been replaced with their
- non-deprecated equivalents.
+* Libravatar plugin: a network timeout option has been added.
-* csv2addressbook.pl: Added support for FoxMail.
+* 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: British English, Bulgarian, Catalan, Dutch,
- Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian,
- Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Swedish.
+* The tbird2claws.py script, for converting a Thunderbird mailbox to
+ a Claws Mail mailbox, now handles sub-directory recursion.
