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 Server mailbox is checked periodically.
40 If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline
41 and updates folder mode content.
44 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
45 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
46 improves processing speed for large folders.
48 *** Message thread restoring feature
49 Automatic correction of broken threads by subject matching is now available.
50 Thread modification by hand (M-w (copy) and C-y (paste) in summary mode)
53 *** Password expiration timer
54 Password cache expires after elmo-passwd-life-time is passed.
55 (nil means no expiration. Initial setting is nil)
58 Deleted messages in the NNTP folder are saved to `killed-list'. The
59 messages in the killed-list are treated as if it were not exist on the
60 server. Non-nil value for elmo-use-killed-list enables this feature
61 (Initial setting is t). By this feature, NNTP pipe folder works correctly.
63 *** Maildir pack is now available
64 M-x wl-summary-pack-number in the summary mode of Maildir folder
65 re-numbers the messages.
69 *** Complex condition can be specified for filter folder
70 AND condition, OR condition, NOT condition, and their combination can be
71 specified. Syntax of the condition part is changed. See info for details.
73 Caution for those who upgrade from 1.1.1:
74 By this change, saving directory for the msgdb of filter folder is altered.
75 Former msgdbs are not needed anymore. It does not cause any problem but

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