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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
- Properties.
+* Preferences: for the 'default selection on entering a folder' on
+ the Display/Summaries page, the first new, first unread, and first
+ marked message options are now sort-order aware.
+
+* Preferences: the previously hidden preference to 'Warn when sending
+ to more recipients than []' has been added to the
+ Mail Handling/Sending page.
+
+* Preferences: Toolbars/Compose window: Sign/Encrypt toggle buttons
+ can been added to the toolbar.
+
+* Preferences: Fancy Plugin: allow stylesheet file/folder names to
+ have spaces in them.
+
+* Account Preferences: a 'Show password' checkbox has been added next
+ to the password fields.
-* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
- they're INVALID!).
+* Account Preferences: the OpenPGP and S/MIME preferences have been
+ split into two separate pages.
-* A 'Metadata handling' option has been added to the Miscellaneous
- options page. The options are 'safer' or 'faster'. 'faster' is
- Claws' original behaviour. 'safer' prevents data loss on system
- crashes where the filesystem is of a 'not-so-robust' variety, e.g.
- xfs. If in doubt, use 'safer'. This option defaults to 'safer'.
+* Account Preferences: newline characters are disallowed in account
+ usernames and passwords, and warnings are shown to the user if this
+ is attempted.
-* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
- Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
+* Compose: more UTF-8 list-item characters have been added.
-* An option has been added to the Receive page of IMAP account
- preferences, "Move deleted mails to trash and expunge immediately".
- This option is on by default to avoid changing the existing
- behaviour. Turning it off prevents automatic expunging.
- Also, 'Tools/Expunge' and 'View/Hide deleted messages' menu items
- have been added to main toolbar.
+* Address book: a 'Show password' checkbox has been added next to the
+ LDAP server 'bind password' field.
-* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
+* GPG: full key/signature fingerprints are now shown instead of the
+ short versions.
-* In the Compose window a warning dialogue is raised if attachments
- that have been added no longer exist on the filesystem at the time
- of sending.
+* SSL Certificate Manager: added support for ipv6 addresses.
-* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
- added.
+* NNTP: Fetch XOVER and XHDR data in batches of 5000 and use the
+ statusbar progress meter when opening/refreshing a NNTP folder.
-* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
- servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
+* CLI: the --insert option has been added to --compose, to allow
+ inserting files from the command line.
-* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
- thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
+* Plugins window: keyboard shortcuts to Load/Unload buttons have
+ been added.
-* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
+* PDF Viewer Plugin: a print button has been added.
-* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
- German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
+* The HTML parser now supports all entities.
+
+* Tools: a simple bash completion helper has been added,
+ tools/bash_completion/claws-mail.
+
+* Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Czech, Danish,
+ Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian,
+ Norwegian Bokmål, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.
+
+* New translations: Japanese, Polish, Romanian.
