[claws.git] / NEWS

Changes of the  Claws Mail GTK2 branch

* 2.9.0
-------

* Added a Maemo port
  The Maemo port touches several areas: using the correct APIs for
  a good integration, adding of a new layout suited for small
  screens, Maemo-specific default preferences changes, Maemo-specific
  GUI improvements, etc.

* Added more customisable colour labels

* Added 'Mark as spam', 'Mark as ham', and 'Add to address book'
  filtering actions

* Added a new Quote Format symbol, %A, to insert the sender's email 
  address

* Changed the option to display unread message counts next to folder
  names: it is now possible to display the total count of messages
  too. Configurable from Display/Summaries

* If Claws Mail is already running on another display, attempting to
  start it will mention that instead of popping up the window on the
  other display

* Added debugging of filtering/processing rules. Configurable from
  Other/Logging options page

* Added handling of the contextual menu key in compose windows and
  MIME parts list

* Added a "pulsing" progressbar in the label window used when
  rebuilding folder tree, etc, in order to show activity

* Improved "Offline mode override" dialogue to avoid asking
  repeatedly, but still ask on explicit user actions

* Improved the creation of POP/Local accounts when no MH mailbox
  exist: create the default one

* Write folderlist directly after adding/deleting accounts that have
  folders

* Added logging IMAP ALERTs as errors in the log

* Added a way for MimeViewer plugins to implement search in a part's
  body

* Updated, added and replaced some icons

* Added display of any LDAP specified Search attributes 

* Added 'telephoneNumber' in the default LDAP list of attributes

* Updated the Face header in the welcome message

* Added the option to minimize to tray in the Trayicon plugin

* Added a wrapper to mairix in the tools folder, tools/mailrix.sh

* Added a script which enables inserting files into the message body
  of a new Compose window from the command line,
  tools/claws-mail-compose-insert-files.pl

* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Czech, French, German,
  Hungarian, Polish,Serbian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish
  translations

* 2.8.1
-------

* Bug fixes:
        o bug 1129, '"local mbox file" account isn't retrieving 
                     mails'
        o bug 1135, 'cm-segfault on decrypting with PGP/inline'
        o bug 1136, 'Crash in group address completion'
        * Fix "After receiving new mail, go to inbox" on IMAP, and
          restrict it to manual fetching only
        * Fix alertpanel.h only included in #ifdef HAVE_LIBETPAN
        * Fix return value without libetpan
        * Use gtk_window_set_role instead of gtk_window_set_wmclass
        * Fix mime/globs path on NetBSD

* 2.8.0
-------

* 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 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 the option 'Enable customisable menu shortcuts' to the
  'Other' preferences page. Turning this off locks the current hot
  keys, preventing accidental changes.

* Added icons for application/pdf, application/pgp-signature,
  application/postscript and text/calendar.

* Added /Tools/List URIs
  Enables opening any or all of the URIs contained in the currently
  selected mail.

* Added 'spam flag' to the Filtering and Processing Match Types.

* Removed the 'Composing messages exist' dialogue on exit. Instead
  opened messages are automatically saved to drafts, and re-opened at
  the next startup.

* Added handling of local URIs, (file:///...), from the --attach
  command line.

* Added Account options for spellcheck default dictionaries.

* Added 'Edit/Delete thread'.

* Added an option 'Ask about account specific filtering rules...' to
  the 'Other' page, which was previously a hidden option.

* 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.

* Bogofilter and SpamAssassin plugins:  Enabled moving spam mail to the
  Account's Trash folder instead of default Trash folder.

* ClamAV plugin: updated for the upstream changes in libclamav, whilst
  maintaining compatibility with older version of libclamav.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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 thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl script, which converts
  thunderbird filter rules to Claws filter rules.

* Updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Czech, Finnish,
  French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Simplified Chinese,
  Slovak and Spanish translations.

* 2.7.2
-------

* Added command line equivalent options:
  -h for --help
  -q and --quit for --exit
  -v for --version
  "Unknown option" is now printed when unknown command line options
  are used.

* The wizard for configuration migration, (Sylpheed-Claws to Claws
  Mail), now has the option to save or not save a backup of the old
  configuration folder.

* The configuration wizard is now re-run if it was previously
  cancelled.

* Bug fixes:

                     label applied.'
