27th June 2008 Claws Mail 3.5.0

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:

IMAP with STARTTLS
The certificate port on TLS was fixed, however this will trigger
one wrong 'New certificate' warning on the first connection.

New in this release:

Added an option, "Use secure file deletion if possible", which
enables shredding of temporary files and messages instead of
just removing them. This is available on the Other preferences
page.

Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
preferences page.

Added an option to the 'Create new folder' dialogue which enables
new folders to inherit the properties of their parent folders
during folder creation.

Added a hidden option, "two_line_vertical", which toggles the
2-line view in the message list when using the 3-column layout.
Defaults to '1', show 2 lines.

Added a hidden option, "outgoing_fallback_to_ascii", which allows
the user to specify an outgoing charset/encoding, but still fall
back to 7bit US-ASCII when possible.
Defaults to '1', fallback when possible.

Added support for the Avant Window Navgator (Awn) information
bubble. This is automatically enabled if dbus is available.

Face and X-Face headers can now be added globally and per-account
from configuration files under ~/.claws-mail/autofaces/. Further
information is provided in the manual.

The SHA1 fingerprint is now shown on the SSL certificate dialogue
and the labels are now selectable.

Several GUI improvements have been made, (Address book, filtering
dialogue, Actions dialogue, and Account preferences).

New icons have been added for 'Reply to list' and 'Cancel'. The
'Insert file' and 'Close' icons have been improved, as have the
tray icons.

Added the Trash and Delete icons to the Custom Toolbars options.

SMTP-only accounts are now not shown in the Receive menus and
Account lists in filtering/processing, as they are irrelevant here.

tools/csv2addressbook.pl
Support for a gmail exported csv address book was added.

Updated English, French, and Spanish manuals.

Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, French,
German, and Spanish.

Removed unmaintained translations: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech,
Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Russian,
Swedish, and Taiwanese. (New maintainers are very welcome,
contact paul@claws-mail.org)
