1 Wanderlust NEWS -- User-visible changes in Wanderlust. 10 May 2000
3 * Version 2.4.1 is basically a bug fix version of 2.4.0.
5 ** Wanderlust 2.4.1 now works on FLIM 1.14.x.
7 ** Fixed a problem that POP connection remains after POP before SMTP.
9 ** The specification of IMAP4 authentication method for clear password
12 In 2.4.0, To use clear password authentication method in IMAP4
13 (Logging in with LOGIN command), you have to set the variable
14 `elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type' as 'plain (or nil).
15 But in 2.4.1, it is changed to 'clear (or nil).
17 (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'plain)
19 (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'clear)
21 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
24 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
26 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
27 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
28 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
29 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
30 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
31 widespread convention of open source development.
33 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
34 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
35 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
39 *** FLIM 1.12 is not supported anymore.
40 See the file INSTALL for details.
42 *** APEL 10.2 or later is required.
43 tm-8 users should check the version of APEL (tm-8.8 contains old APEL).

69 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
70 improves processing speed for large folders.

82 Deleted messages in the NNTP folder are saved to `killed-list'. The
83 messages in the killed-list are treated as if it were not exist on the

85 (Initial setting is t). By this feature, NNTP pipe folder works correctly.
