CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
+Notes for this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+libetpan 0.49 is now required for IMAP support
+
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.
+* Added "From, To or Subject" to the QuickSearch types.
+
+* Added handling of the 'a' key to loop through a mail's MIME parts.
+
+* In the Compose window "Add to address book" has been added to the
+ context menu of the sender and recipient fields.
+
+* Implemented a proper References filtering condition.
+
+* Added the possibility to cancel receiving in IMAP accounts.
+
+* Made offline synchronisation faster.
-* 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.
+* Added an alternate way to fetch flags on IMAP, which improves
+ performance with some servers, (like Exchange).
+ See "Bandwidth-efficient mode" in IMAP accounts' Receive
+ preferences.
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+* Allow manual sorting of Templates.
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+* Templates improvements: easier syntax, add some useful variables.
-* Added /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+* Implemented per-account and per-folder compose/reply/forward
+ Templates.
-* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+* Added a QuickSearch option to automatically run a search selected
+ from the history.
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+* Made the Summaries Preferemces page "when entering a folder..."
+ options fully customisable.
-* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+* Added an "Open last opened folder at startup" option to the
+ Summaries page in the Prerferences.
-* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+* Changed the Preference "Only mark as read when opened in new
+ window" on the Summaries page to "Only mark as read when opened
+ in new window, or replied to".
-* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+* Allow disabling mail filtering plugins on a per-account
+ basis.
-* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+* Added an option to the Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins to
+ enable marking saved spam as Read.
-* 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.
+* Added a warning about encryption limits, which can be disabled.
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+* Removed the "Download all" preference from POP3 accounts; it
+ was useless and confusing.
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
+* Re-organized some Preferences page.
-* 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.
+* Replaced the tabbed layout in Account Preferences with pages.
-* 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.
+* Renamed 'Protocol Log' to 'Network Log'
-* 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.
+* Added a few cursor improvments while Claws is busy.
-* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
- thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
+* Added support for CRLF in headers of messages.

- French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
