- [./configure --enable-gnutls]
-
-A run-time alternative configuration directory switch has been added,
- [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
+Notes for this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
+* IMAP with STARTTLS
+ The certificate port on TLS was fixed, however this will trigger
+ one wrong 'New certificate' warning on the first connection.
-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.
+New in this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-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.
+* 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.
-'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together
+* Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
+ messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
+ preferences page.
-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.
+* Added an option to the 'Create new folder' dialogue which enables
+ new folders to inherit the properties of their parent folders
+ during folder creation.
-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.
+* 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.
-Toolbar preferences: Improved dialogue.
+* 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.
-Compose window: the number of attachments is now shown in the tab's
- title.
+* Added support for the Avant Window Navgator (Awn) information
+ bubble. This is automatically enabled if dbus is available.
-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.
+* 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.
-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.
+* The SHA1 fingerprint is now shown on the SSL certificate dialogue
+ and the labels are now selectable.

+* Added the Trash and Delete icons to the Custom Toolbars options.
-SpamAssassin plugin: Address book based whitelisting has been added.
