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:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* Removed 'Separate Folder tree' and 'Separate Message View' and put
- new layouts in place of it, 'Standard', 'Three columns', 'Wide
- message' and 'Wide message list'. Accessible from /View/Layout.
+Notes for this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Added IMAP subscriptions
- Creating a new folder subscribes it. Deleting a folder unsubscribes
- it. "Creating" an existing but unsubscribed folder will subscribe
- it. By default, for new accounts, only subscribed folders are shown.
- A contextual menu item has been added, /Subscriptions, which allows
- switching the display between All folders and Subscribed folders
- only. It also enables the subscribing and unsubscribing of folders.
+* IMAP with STARTTLS
+ The certificate port on TLS was fixed, however this will trigger
+ one wrong 'New certificate' warning on the first connection.
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+New in this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+* 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 /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+* Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
+ messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
+ preferences page.
-* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+* Added an option to the 'Create new folder' dialogue which enables
+ new folders to inherit the properties of their parent folders
+ during folder creation.
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+* 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 handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+* 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 Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+* Added support for the Avant Window Navgator (Awn) information
+ bubble. This is automatically enabled if dbus is available.
-* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+* 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 an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+* The SHA1 fingerprint is now shown on the SSL certificate dialogue
+ and the labels are now selectable.
-* Some preferences have been re-arranged:
- Moved the 'Ask before emptying trash' option on the 'Other' page
- outside of the 'On exit' frame as it's not only an 'On exit' option.
- Moved 'Never send Return Receipts' from 'Other' to 'Sending' page.
- Moved keybinding preferences to the 'Other' page.
- Added 'mousepad' to the list of text editors on the 'External
- Programs' page.
+* Several GUI improvements have been made, (Address book, filtering
+ dialogue, Actions dialogue, and Account preferences).
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+* 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.
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
+* Added the Trash and Delete icons to the Custom Toolbars options.
-* GPG Plugins: Added an option 'Use gpg-agent to manage passwords' to
- GPG page of the common preferences. Fixes annoyances with distro-
- installed gpg-agent, when no pinentry program is installed, and the
- user is at a loss on why "decryption failed". It can be turned off
- to bypass gpg-agent. The option is disabled if gpg-agent is not
- running.
+* SMTP-only accounts are now not shown in the Receive menus and
+ Account lists in filtering/processing, as they are irrelevant here.
-* TrayIcon plugin: Added 'Hide at startup' and 'Close to tray'
- options.
- When the 'Close to tray' option is used the Window Manager's hotkey
- and [X] button will hide the window instead of closing it - closing
- CM can be done using the tray icon menu or the /File menu.
- Clicking the trayicon now raises the window to current desktop when
- it was either minimized or shaded, or when it was on another desktop.
+* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
+ Support for a gmail exported csv address book was added.
-* Added support for non ISO-8859-1 compatible locales to the Actions
- scripts freshmeat_search.pl, google_search.pl and multiwebsearch.pl.
-
-* Renamed the maildir2claws-mail.pl script to kmail-mailbox2claws-mail.pl
- and updated it to work with newer versions of Kmail.
+* Updated English, French, and Spanish manuals.
-* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
- thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, French,
+ German, and Spanish.
-* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish,
- French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
- Slovak and Spanish translations.
+* Removed unmaintained translations: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech,
+ Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Russian,
+ Swedish, and Taiwanese. (New maintainers are very welcome,
+ contact paul@claws-mail.org)
