1 Wanderlust NEWS -- User-visible changes in Wanderlust. 10 May 2000
2 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
5 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
7 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
8 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
9 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
10 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
11 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
12 widespread convention of open source development.
14 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
15 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
16 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
20 *** FLIM 1.12 is not supported anymore.
21 See the file INSTALL for details.
23 *** APEL 10.2 or later is required.
24 tm-8 users should check the version of APEL (tm-8.8 contains old APEL).
29 Complete e-mail address in draft by searching LDAP server.
30 If the variable wl-use-ldap is non-nil, LDAP feature is enabled
31 (Initial setting is nil).
33 *** UIDL support in POP3 folder
34 POP3 folder now saves the status of summary and it improves summary
35 update speed. If the variable elmo-pop3-use-uidl is non-nil, UIDL is
36 used (Initial setting is t).
39 Wanderlust has started on supporting Standard Emacs 21.
40 Toolbars and icon images can be shown in almost Wanderlust
44 Server mailbox is checked periodically.
45 If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline
46 and updates folder mode content.
49 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
50 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
51 improves processing speed for large folders.

60 (nil means no expiration. Initial setting is nil)
63 Deleted messages in the NNTP folder are saved to `killed-list'. The
64 messages in the killed-list are treated as if it were not exist on the
65 server. Non-nil value for elmo-use-killed-list enables this feature
66 (Initial setting is t). By this feature, NNTP pipe folder works correctly.
68 *** Maildir pack is now available
69 M-x wl-summary-pack-number in the summary mode of Maildir folder
70 re-numbers the messages.
74 *** Complex condition can be specified for filter folder
