+
+** FLIM 1.13.x is not supported any longer.
+ Please install FLIM 1.14.1 or later.
+
+** Now folder and summary buffer can be opened in a separate frame.
+ If `wl-folder-use-frame' is set as t, `M-x wl' creates a new frame
+ for folder mode. If `wl-summary-use-frame' is set as t, new frames
+ are created for each summary window.
+
+** Cursor moving speed ('N' or 'P' in summary) is greatly improved.
+
+** Folder checking speed for filter folder of localdir
+ folder using `last' or `first' (Ex. /last:100/+inbox) is improved.
+
+** Retrieval progress of each message is displayed in POP and IMAP folder.
+
+** Coloring of summary buffer is processed on demand (only on Emacs).
+ If `wl-summary-lazy-highlight' is non-nil,
+ only visible portion of the buffer is colored.
+
+** Customizable biff notify.
+ New hook `wl-biff-notify-hook' and `wl-biff-unnotify-hook' is

+
+
+** Many bug fixes.
+
+* Version 2.4.1 is basically a bug fix version of 2.4.0.
+
+** Wanderlust 2.4.1 now works on FLIM 1.14.x.
+
+** Fixed a problem that POP connection remains after POP before SMTP.
+
+** The specification of IMAP4 authentication method for clear password
+ is changed.
+
+In 2.4.0, To use clear password authentication method in IMAP4
+(Logging in with LOGIN command), you have to set the variable
+`elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type' as 'plain (or nil).
+But in 2.4.1, it is changed to 'clear (or nil).
+Example:
+(setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'plain)
+should be changed to
+(setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'clear)
+
+* Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
+
+** Version Number
+The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
+
+In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
+were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
+number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
+corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
+to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
+widespread convention of open source development.
+
+On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
+beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
+version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
+

+*** FLIM 1.12 is not supported anymore.
+See the file INSTALL for details.
