CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
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.
+* 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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* 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.
+* 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 DIGEST-MD5 support for IMAP authentication
+* Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
+ messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
+ preferences page.
-* Added Folder Properties option, 'Run processing rules when opening'
- to the General 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 sub-sorting to the Message List; when the Sort type is either
- Subject, From, To or Tags, sub-sorting by Date will be active.
+* 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 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.
+* 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 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'.
+* Added support for the Avant Window Navgator (Awn) information
+ bubble. This is automatically enabled if dbus is available.
-* Added several GUI improvements to the Filtering, Processing, Tags,
- Actions, Templates, Logging and Address Book dialogues
+* Face and X-Face headers can now be added globally and per-account
+ from configuration files under ~/.claws-mail/autofaces/. Further
+ information is provided in the manual.
-* Added a tooltip to the 'replied' icon in the Message List which
- indicates 'click to see your reply' feature.
+* The SHA1 fingerprint is now shown on the SSL certificate dialogue
+ and the labels are now selectable.
-* Added 'claws-mail --version-full' to display the version and a list
- of the compiled-in features
+* Several GUI improvements have been made, (Address book, filtering
+ dialogue, Actions dialogue, and Account preferences).
-* Implemented speed-ups to list operations, deletions and cache
- updates.
+* New icons have been added for 'Reply to list' and 'Cancel'. The
+ 'Insert file' and 'Close' icons have been improved, as have the
+ tray icons.
-* Updated the man page
+* Added the Trash and Delete icons to the Custom Toolbars options.
-* The Trayicon plugin icons are now themable.
+* SMTP-only accounts are now not shown in the Receive menus and
+ Account lists in filtering/processing, as they are irrelevant here.
-* text/calendar message parts are now automatically displayed if a
- plugin handling text/calendar is loaded, e.g. vCalendar.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ Support for a gmail exported csv address book was added.
-* Maemo: connect HW status change signal for shutdown
