CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
-
+
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
-Claws Mail was previously known as Sylpheed-Claws.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* The --select option can now also select emails by Message-ID
-
-* Attaching files from 'mailto:' URIs (&attach=...) is now possible.
- A dialog is displayed to make sure that the user is aware that the
- mail will contain attachments
-
-* 'New Message format' has been added to the Compose/Writing options,
- this works like the Quote format and the same symbols are supported
+* 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.
-* Reworked the About dialog, including the addition of a new page,
- 'Features', which indicates which of the optional features are
- compiled in and which are not. A 'Release Notes' page was also
- added
+* Auto-configuration of account email servers, based on SRV records,
+ is now possible. (GLib >= 2.22 is required.)
-* Added history combo for all search fields (message and text)
+* Added a preference to avoid automatically drafting emails that are
+ to be sent encrypted, (Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Writing).
-* The 'mark_as_read_delay' option is not hidden anymore and can be
- found in Configuration/Preferences/Summaries
+* Messages saved as Drafts are now saved as New, highlighting the
+ Drafts folder, in order to draw the attention to unfinished mails
+ there.
-* Added global and per-folder preferences to set the default
- alternate dictionary
+* It is now possible to add a 'Replace signature' button to the
+ Compose window toolbar.
-* Allow spell-checking to use both current and alternate dictionaries
+* Quotation wrapping and undo/redo in the Compose window has been
+ improved.
-* Added an hidden option 'addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog' to
- embed the contact editor in the addressbook window in contrast to
- a separate dialog
+* 'Reply to all' now excludes your own address.
-* Added a hidden option 'unsafe_ssl_certs', to allow storing
- multiple SSL certificates for a given server/port. You will be
- asked to accept unknown certificates. Unchecking this option will
- require you to re-accept previously known certificates
+* The 'Generate X-Mailer header' option has been renamed 'Add user
+ agent header' and applies to both X-Mailer and X-Newsreader
+ headers.
-* Allow copying of folders between mailboxes
+* 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.)
-* Better automatic account selection for mailing lists (searches for
- the email address in the Delivered-To header also)
+* Added hidden preference 'enable_avatars' to control the internal
+ capture/render process, and which allows disabling it by external
+ plugins for example.
-* Made the "Synchronise" menu item inactive when there's nothing to
- synchronise
+* '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.
-* Use Message font in Writing and Quoting preferences, as well as in
- Templates
+* NEW: Libravatar plugin, which displays avatars from
+ https://www.libravatar.org/
-* Added more HTML symbols to the html to text converter
+* Added support for an arbitrary number and sources of 'avatars' and
+ images for email senders, and migrated Face and X-Face headers.
-* Save the addressbook's window size on closing
+* Avatars are now included when printing mails.
-* Better checks for syntax errors are applied to Templates and Quote
- formats
+* The GPG keyring can now be used as the source for address auto-
+ completion.
-* Added a check to avoid trying to use a non-existent folder as
- default inbox
+* The vCalendar and RSSyl plugins now have an option to disable SSL
+ certificate verification (and check them by default).
-* Enable setting SSL via STARTTLS from the set-up wizard
+* The ClamAV plugin now pops up an error message only once instead of
+ repeatedly
-* Added handling of ":port" in server addresses in the set-up wizard
- to specify a port to connect to
+* Updated the man page and the manual.
-* Bogofilter plugin: added an option to print the X-Claws-Bogosity
- header in emails handled by the Bogofilter plugin (in MH folders
- only)
+* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Dutch,
+ Finnish, French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Lithuanian, Slovak,
+ Spanish, and Swedish translations.
