1 Wanderlust NEWS -- User-visible changes in Wanderlust. 10 May 2000
3 * Changes in 2.6.0 from 2.4.1.
5 ** FLIM 1.13.x is not supported any longer.
6 Please install FLIM 1.14.1 or later.
8 ** Now folder and summary buffer can be opened in a separate frame.
9 If `wl-folder-use-frame' is set as t, `M-x wl' creates a new frame
10 for folder mode. If `wl-summary-use-frame' is set as t, new frames
11 are created for each summary window.
13 ** Cursor moving speed ('N' or 'P' in summary) is greatly improved.
15 ** Folder checking speed for filter folder of localdir
16 folder using `last' or `first' (Ex. /last:100/+inbox) is improved.
18 ** Retrieval progress of each message is displayed in POP and IMAP folder.
20 ** Coloring of summary buffer is processed on demand (only on Emacs).
21 If `wl-summary-lazy-highlight' is non-nil,
22 only visible portion of the buffer is colored.
26 * Version 2.4.1 is basically a bug fix version of 2.4.0.
28 ** Wanderlust 2.4.1 now works on FLIM 1.14.x.
30 ** Fixed a problem that POP connection remains after POP before SMTP.
32 ** The specification of IMAP4 authentication method for clear password
35 In 2.4.0, To use clear password authentication method in IMAP4
36 (Logging in with LOGIN command), you have to set the variable
37 `elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type' as 'plain (or nil).
38 But in 2.4.1, it is changed to 'clear (or nil).
40 (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'plain)
42 (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'clear)
44 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
47 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
49 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
50 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
51 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
52 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
53 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
54 widespread convention of open source development.
56 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
57 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
58 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
62 *** FLIM 1.12 is not supported anymore.
63 See the file INSTALL for details.
65 *** APEL 10.2 or later is required.
66 tm-8 users should check the version of APEL (tm-8.8 contains old APEL).
71 Complete e-mail address in draft by searching LDAP server.
72 If the variable wl-use-ldap is non-nil, LDAP feature is enabled
73 (Initial setting is nil).
75 *** UIDL support in POP3 folder
76 POP3 folder now saves the status of summary and it improves summary
77 update speed. If the variable elmo-pop3-use-uidl is non-nil, UIDL is
78 used (Initial setting is t).
81 Wanderlust has started on supporting Standard Emacs 21.
82 Toolbars and icon images can be shown in almost Wanderlust
86 Server mailbox is checked periodically.
87 If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline
88 and updates folder mode content.
91 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
92 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
93 improves processing speed for large folders.
95 *** Message thread restoring feature
96 Automatic correction of broken threads by subject matching is now available.
97 Thread modification by hand (M-w (copy) and C-y (paste) in summary mode)

105 Deleted messages in the NNTP folder are saved to `killed-list'. The
106 messages in the killed-list are treated as if it were not exist on the
107 server. Non-nil value for elmo-use-killed-list enables this feature
108 (Initial setting is t). By this feature, NNTP pipe folder works correctly.
110 *** Maildir pack is now available
111 M-x wl-summary-pack-number in the summary mode of Maildir folder
112 re-numbers the messages.

124 under the directory '.elmo/filter/' beforehand.
