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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
- Properties.
+* More granular options on when to open a selected message have been
+ added. There are now several checkboxes on the Display/Summaries
+ page of the Preferences which allow a greater flexibility.
+
+* Compose window: Show the total size of attachments on the
+ Attachments tab.
+
+* Compose window: Bcc has been added to the headers drop-down list.
+
+* Folder list: Top-level folders can now be copied. They are created
+ as regular folders in the target mailbox.
+
+* Folder selection dialogue: Left/right keys collapse/expand rows.
+ Further keypress will move the cursor to parent or first child,
+ respectively.
-* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
- they're INVALID!).
+* Menu items: 'Mark all unread [recursively]' has been added to the
+ folder context menu, message list menu, and the main window menu
+ and toolbar.
-* A 'Metadata handling' option has been added to the Miscellaneous
- options page. The options are 'safer' or 'faster'. 'faster' is
- Claws' original behaviour. 'safer' prevents data loss on system
- crashes where the filesystem is of a 'not-so-robust' variety, e.g.
- xfs. If in doubt, use 'safer'. This option defaults to 'safer'.
+* Toolbar actions: Mark, Unmark, Lock, Unlock, Mark [all] read, Mark
+ [all] unread, Ignore Thread, Watch Thread, and Delete Duplicate
+ Messages have been added to the main window toolbar's Actions list.
-* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
- Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
+* Account compose signature: The value of the signature file now
+ takes a path relative to the user's home directory in addition to a
+ full path.
-* An option has been added to the Receive page of IMAP account
- preferences, "Move deleted mails to trash and expunge immediately".
- This option is on by default to avoid changing the existing
- behaviour. Turning it off prevents automatic expunging.
- Also, 'Tools/Expunge' and 'View/Hide deleted messages' menu items
- have been added to main toolbar.
+* Icon Themes: Support for SVG themes with icon scaling capabilities
+ has been added. This requires libRSVG 2.40.5 or newer.
-* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
+* Hidden preferences: colours for specifying Tags, QuickSearch, and
+ auto-filled header values have been added, both foreground and
+ background. Respectively, tags_color, tags_bgcolor,
+ qs_active_color, qs_active_bgcolor, qs_error_color,
+ qs_error_bgcolor, default_header_color, and default_header_bgcolor.
-* In the Compose window a warning dialogue is raised if attachments
- that have been added no longer exist on the filesystem at the time
- of sending.
+* Hidden preferences: warn_sending_many_recipients_num, if greater
+ than zero, a warning dialogue is shown when the number of
+ recipients exceeds the number given.
-* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
- added.
+* GData plugin: This plugin now requires libgdata version 0.17.2 or
+ newer.
-* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
- servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
+* TNEF parser plugin: This plugin now uses an external libytnef.
-* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
- thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
+* vCalendar plugin: This plugin now uses an external libical, version
+ 2.0.0 or newer is required.
-* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
+* Mail Archiver plugin: - updated to support some of the compression
+ formats up to libarchive 3.2.2
-* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
- German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
+* Several minor UI improvements.
+
+* Updated manual in English and Spanish.
+
+* Updated man page.
+
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Danish,
+ Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian Bokmål,
+ Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.
