43 Displaying of prefetched messages speeded up because of this.
45 ** Truncation of lines in message buffer or draft buffer is now controllable.
46 Non-nil value of wl-message-truncate-lines or wl-draft-truncate-lines

126 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
129 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
131 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
132 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
133 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
134 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
135 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
136 widespread convention of open source development.
138 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
139 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
140 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
144 *** FLIM 1.12 is not supported anymore.

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

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

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

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