		    SYLPHEED-CLAWS  RELEASE NOTES
                      http://claws.sylpheed.org
		      
		   the "Welcome back IMAP" release
		     
Sylpheed-Claws is an extended version of  Sylpheed, a GTK+ based,
lightweight, and fast e-mail client

This is the GTK 2 version of Sylpheed-Claws.

Notes for this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* IMAP support
	Perhaps the most significant changes in this release have
	happened in the IMAP code. Over the months we have received
	several bug reports and complaints from IMAP users. The
	changes to the IMAP implementation in this release are mostly
	concerned with speedups in imap operation, and using non-
	blocking I/O as much as possible. There have been far too
	many changes to list them here in these release notes, so
	interested users are pointed at ChangeLog-gtk2.claws. There
	are more significant changes to the IMAP implemenation
	planned, but IMAP users should already find this release is a
	lot more comfortable for them.

* Performance increases
	Users will discover substantial performance increases when
	re-sorting folders, when using 'Select all', and when using
	'Mark all read'

* /Message/Delete and /Message/Move to trash
	'/Message/Delete' has been renamed '/Message/Move to trash'
	and '/Message/Delete' has been added. '/Message/Delete' will
	now directly destroy the message, after asking for a
	confirmation, instead of moving it to the Trash folder.

* Common Preferences
	All '/Configuration/Preferences/Common/...' options have been
  	integrated into the new style options interface.

* PGP MIME plugin
 	The 'PGP/MIME' plugin has been renamed 'PGP MIME', users will
	need to reselect 'PGP MIME' as their default privacy system
	in their account's Privacy preferences. 

* LDAP
	The bind password is no longer visible onscreen.

New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* An option to encrypt replies to encrypted messages by default
  '/[Account Prefs]/Account/Privacy/Encrypt message by default when
  replying to an encrypted message'

* Filtering rules can be reordered by drag n drop

* '/Options/Character encoding/...' has been added to the Compose
  window to enable temporarily changing the outgoing encoding

* Hebrew encodings have been added

* The 'Show all headers' option is now sticky.

* Return Receipts can now be sent from any account.

* A clip/signed icon has been added. This is displayed in the Status
