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.
+* Complete SSL certificate chains are now saved, and if built with
+ Libetpan 1.4.1, the IMAP SSL connection's certificate chain is made
+ available. Both of these allow correct certificate verification
+ instead of a bogus 'No certificate issuer found' status.
+
+* Auto-configuration of account email servers, based on SRV records,
+ is now possible. (GLib >= 2.22 is required.)
+
+* Added a preference to avoid automatically drafting emails that are
+ to be sent encrypted, (Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Writing).
-* 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.
+* Messages saved as Drafts are now saved as New, highlighting the
+ Drafts folder, in order to draw the attention to unfinished mails
+ there.
-* Added the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
- 'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
- keys, preventing accidental changes.
+* It is now possible to add a 'Replace signature' button to the
+ Compose window toolbar.
-* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
- application/postscript and text/calendar.
+* Quotation wrapping and undo/redo in the Compose window has been
+ improved.
-* Added /Tools/List URIs
- Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
- selected mail.
+* 'Reply to all' now excludes your own address.
-* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.
+* The 'Generate X-Mailer header' option has been renamed 'Add user
+ agent header' and applies to both X-Mailer and X-Newsreader
+ headers.
-* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
- opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
- the next startup.
+* Added hidden preferences, 'address_search_wildcard' and
+ 'folder_search_wildcard', to choose between matching from start of
+ the folder name/address or any part of the name. (Activating these
+ options restores the previous behaviour.)
-* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
- command line.
+* Added hidden preference 'enable_avatars' to control the internal
+ capture/render process, and which allows disabling it by external
+ plugins for example.
-* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.
+* 'Check for new folders' now only updates the folder list, not
+ updating the contents of folders. If needed, it can be followed by
+ 'Check for new messages'
+
+* When using Redirect, the redirecting account's address is used in
+ the SMTP MAIL FROM instead of the original sender's address.
-* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.
+* NEW: Libravatar plugin, which displays avatars from
+ https://www.libravatar.org/
-* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
- the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.
+* Added support for an arbitrary number and sources of 'avatars' and
+ images for email senders, and migrated Face and X-Face headers.
-* 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.
+* Avatars are now included when printing mails.
-* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins: Enabled moving spam mail to the
- Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.
+* The GPG keyring can now be used as the source for address auto-
+ completion.
-* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
- maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.
+* The vCalendar and RSSyl plugins now have an option to disable SSL
+ certificate verification (and check them by default).
-* 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.
+* The ClamAV plugin now pops up an error message only once instead of
+ repeatedly
-* 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.
+* Updated the man page and the manual.
-* 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 Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Dutch,
+ Finnish, French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Lithuanian, Slovak,
+ Spanish, and Swedish translations.
-* Added thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
- thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.
+* Added Esperanto translation.
-* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish,
- French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
- Slovak and Spanish translations.
