5 ** Nemacs, Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.28 are no longer supported.
7 ** Wanderlust might not work with FLIM 1.14.2 and older.
8 It is recommended to use FLIM 1.14.3 or newer and associated SEMI.
10 ** If you set obsolete variables (e.g. renamed ones), Wanderlust shows warning
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' ]

24 At the next time you access it, only new messages will be copied.
26 Format: '|' 'source folder' '|:' 'destination folder'
28 ** Address manager is now available (start by C-c C-a).
29 You can edit address book and import recipients to draft from it.

33 ** Now you can preserve IMAP4 message by part as a cache.

38 Displaying of prefetched messages speeded up because of this.
40 ** Truncation of lines in message buffer or draft buffer is now controllable.

42 means truncating long lines at window width.

57 .elmo/multi and .elmo/archive in advance.
59 ** Variables named xxx-dir are renamed to xxx-directory.

71 Please install FLIM 1.14.1 or later.
73 ** Now folder and summary buffer can be opened in a separate frame.
74 If `wl-folder-use-frame' is set as t, `M-x wl' creates a new frame
75 for folder mode. If `wl-summary-use-frame' is set as t, new frames
76 are created for each summary window.
78 ** Cursor moving speed ('N' or 'P' in summary) is greatly improved.

98 ** Wanderlust 2.4.1 now works on FLIM 1.14.x.

106 (Logging in with LOGIN command), you have to set the variable
107 `elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type' as 'plain (or nil).
108 But in 2.4.1, it is changed to 'clear (or nil).

112 (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'clear)
114 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
117 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
119 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
120 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
121 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
122 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
123 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
124 widespread convention of open source development.
126 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
127 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
128 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)

156 Server mailbox is checked periodically.
157 If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline
158 and updates folder mode content.
161 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
162 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
163 improves processing speed for large folders.

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

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

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