CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
-Claws Mail was previously known as Sylpheed-Claws.
-
Notes for this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Sylpheed-Claws is now known as Claws Mail.
- The default configuration directory is now ~/.claws-mail. The main
- configuration file is now called 'clawsrc'. When running this
- version of Claws Mail for the first time all of the configuration
- will be automatically migrated to the new location and it will be
- seamless for the user. A 'sylpheed-claws' symlink pointing to
- 'claws-mail' will be installed, therefore all scripts and other apps
- configured to use 'sylpheed-claws' will still function correctly.
+* IMAP with STARTTLS
+ The certificate port on TLS was fixed, however this will trigger
+ one wrong 'New certificate' warning on the first connection.
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-This is a bug fix release.
+* Added an option, "Use secure file deletion if possible", which
+ enables shredding of temporary files and messages instead of
+ just removing them. This is available on the Other preferences
+ page.
+
+* Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
+ messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
+ preferences page.
+
+* Added an option to the 'Create new folder' dialogue which enables
+ new folders to inherit the properties of their parent folders
+ during folder creation.
+
+* Added a hidden option, "two_line_vertical", which toggles the
+ 2-line view in the message list when using the 3-column layout.
+ Defaults to '1', show 2 lines.
+
+* Added a hidden option, "outgoing_fallback_to_ascii", which allows
+ the user to specify an outgoing charset/encoding, but still fall
+ back to 7bit US-ASCII when possible.
+ Defaults to '1', fallback when possible.
+
+* Added support for the Avant Window Navgator (Awn) information
+ bubble. This is automatically enabled if dbus is available.

+ tray icons.
+
+* Added the Trash and Delete icons to the Custom Toolbars options.
+
+* SMTP-only accounts are now not shown in the Receive menus and
