11 messages and urge you to change settings.
12 To suppress warning messages, set elmo-obsolete-variable-show-warnings to
15 ** Added new type of folders: shimbun folder
17 Format: '@' 'virtual server name' '.' 'group name'
19 ** Added new type of folders: namazu folder
21 Format: '[' 'search condition' ']' [ 'absolute path of namazu index' ]

33 ** Now you can preserve IMAP4 message by part as a cache.
34 If you skipped enormous part, you can read other than skipped part when
37 ** Wanderlust also creates message view through prefetching.
38 Displaying of prefetched messages speeded up because of this.
40 ** Truncation of lines in message buffer or draft buffer is now controllable.

77 If `wl-folder-use-frame' is set as t, `M-x wl' creates a new frame
78 for folder mode. If `wl-summary-use-frame' is set as t, new frames
79 are created for each summary window.

117 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
120 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
122 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
123 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
124 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
125 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
126 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
127 widespread convention of open source development.
129 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
130 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
131 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)

160 If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline
161 and updates folder mode content.
164 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
165 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
166 improves processing speed for large folders.

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

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

185 re-numbers the messages.

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