		SYLPHEED-CLAWS  RELEASE NOTES
                 <http://claws.sylpheed.org>

This release of sylpheed-claws is based on version 0.8.6 of 
the main Sylpheed branch.

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

Main's Filter has been removed. If you are migrating to
sylpheed-claws from main sylpheed and you have Filter
rules, (or if you have been using Filter rather than
claws' Filtering), you will need to convert your rules
using the script in the 'tools' directory called
'filter_conv.pl'. Instructions for its use can be found in
tools/README.

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

* MH folder drag 'n' drop support.
  
* Attached images are resized to fit the message window when
  viewed.

* Cc and Bcc definitions have been added to Templates.

* --online and --offline command-line switches
  
* Automatic message drafting and cache saving on kill
	If you are composing a message and sylpheed-claws
	is killed, your message is automatically saved to
	the drafts folder, ready for re-editing on a restart.
	If the GUI is hanging due to a blocking network, you 
	can issue 'killall sylpheed' and your message is
	saved.

* SSL certificates are presented for verification and stored
  in ~/.sylpheed/certs

* 'on-the-fly' changing of the type of encryption and/or 
  signing used (MIME/ascii) via the compose window menu
  
* Logging in the log window can be stopped.

* user-definable newsgroup names abbreviation length.

* The Manual and FAQ Help menu items now open documentation
  in the current locale or in English if the current locale
  is not available. There are also links to the Sylpheed
  Documentation website.
