0.6 against 0.5
Most importantly, all known major bugs in 0.5 have been fixed in this release.
We still have some minor buglets and lots of wishes and enhancements on our
list, but all serious bugs should be gone now. A couple of new features have
been added:
- fixes to all serious bugs from version 0.50
- significantly improved IMAP support: it is now possible to subscribe to all
folders on an IMAP server with a single click or to manually select them from
a dialog; Mahogany also uses server side message functions when possible resulting
in huge performance improvement
- new, improved filtering system (warning: old filters won't work any more, contact
us if this is really a serious problem for you)
- charset and encoding support for message contents and headers (including autodetecting
the charset of incoming messages and setting it for the outgoing ones)
- mail can be sent using local MDA (sendmail) in addition to SMTP
- import of settings and folder collections from Pine and XFMail, vCard support
(import/export from addess book, attach to messages)
- drag and drop for message copying and moving - "Quick Move"
and "Quick Filter" functions
- folders now can (finally) be renamed
- quoted text highlighting in the message viewer!
- sort the messages display by simply clicking on the corresponding column, the
sorting dialog also has been improved
- folders with new/recent messages are highlighted in the folder tree
- it is possible (although still discouraged) to run Mahogany as root
- passwords in the config file are encrypted using TwoFish algorithm
- option to always use external editor by default
- messages from oneself are optionally marked as such
- support for password protected SMTP and NNTP servers
- more verbose error reporting and detection
- OpenSSL loaded dynamically if available
- PalmOS module supports AvantGo/MAL synchronisation
- templates now may be used for replying/forwarding as well
- many other various fixes
New experimental features include:
- supporting multiple-identities and easy switching between them
- support of storing configuration settings on an IMAP server allowing to share
them between different machines/accounts
Known bugs:
- There are always some, listed on our bugtracker at http://www.wxwindows.org/m-bugs/
and we are working on them.
- Version 0.60 suffers from a minor printing bug leading to some overlap between
strings sometimes, which is due to a bug in wxWindows which will hopefully be
fixed fairly soon.
