** Save format for the draft folder has been changed. Messages are encoded
   before saved by wl-draft-save.

** elmo-split is newly established.

** Buffer prefetch works fine now. Messages of the number specified by
   wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth are loaded into buffer in advance.

** Starting Wanderlust on the new frame is possible now. Set as
   (autoload 'wl-other-frame "wl" "Wanderlust on new frame." t)

** In Folder mode, you can go into virtual folder which consists of messages
   with some specified condition (wl-folder-virtual). It is binded to "V".

** Temporary marks are kept when you exit from sticky summary by q or g. 

** Key bindings concerning the sticky summary have been changed.
   By C-u g, the sticky summary is destroyed as well as C-u q. In summary or
   folder mode, G opens the sticky summary.

** You can go round summary buffers by C-cC-n and C-cC-p.

** Members of the list wl-folder-hierarchy-access-folders is now some REGEXP
   for access group names instead of exact group names.

** In header part of the draft buffer C-a brings cursor to the beginning of
   the line or the beginning of the header body.

   "Ecc:".

** You can easily configure server settings to post news article.

   It is recommended to use FLIM 1.14.3 or newer and associated SEMI.

** Now available `make check' environment test for user.

** If you set obsolete variables (e.g. renamed ones) in .wl etc, Wanderlust
   shows warning messages and urge you to change settings.
   Change your settings according to the messages, please.
   If you want to suppress warnings, set elmo-obsolete-variable-show-warnings
   to nil.

** Address manager is now available (start by C-c C-a).
   You can edit address book and import recipients to draft from it.

** ACAP (RFC2244) is supported(experimental).

** Now you can preserve IMAP4 message by part as a cache.
   If you skipped enormous part, you can read other than skipped part when
   you are off line.

** Wanderlust also creates message view through prefetching.
   Displaying of prefetched messages speeded up because of this.

   Non-nil value of wl-message-truncate-lines or wl-draft-truncate-lines

** X-Face utility 1.3.6.12 or older is not supported any longer.
   Please install X-Face utility 1.3.6.13 or later, if necessary.

** Wanderlust distinguishes stream-type on plugged mode. They are treated as
   different entries.

** msgdb path for archive and multi folders are changed.

   the actual message itself is deleted.
   Please visit the 'mark folder to review the messages with the "$" mark.

   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.

   New hook `wl-biff-notify-hook' and `wl-biff-unnotify-hook' is
   now available.
   e.g. (add-hook wl-biff-notify-hook 'ding)

** 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.

   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)
