Wanderlust NEWS -- User-visible changes in Wanderlust. 10 May 2000 * 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) ** Install *** FLIM 1.12 is not supported anymore. See the file INSTALL for details. *** APEL 10.2 or later is required. tm-8 users should check the version of APEL (tm-8.8 contains old APEL). ** New feature *** LDAP support Complete e-mail address in draft by searching LDAP server. If the variable wl-use-ldap is non-nil, LDAP feature is enabled (Initial setting is nil). *** UIDL support in POP3 folder POP3 folder now saves the status of summary and it improves summary update speed. If the variable elmo-pop3-use-uidl is non-nil, UIDL is used (Initial setting is t). *** Emacs 21 support Wanderlust has started on supporting Standard Emacs 21. Toolbars and icon images can be shown in almost Wanderlust frames like XEmacs. *** biff feature Server mailbox is checked periodically. If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline and updates folder mode content. *** expire-hide Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It improves processing speed for large folders. *** Message thread restoring feature Automatic correction of broken threads by subject matching is now available. Thread modification by hand (M-w (copy) and C-y (paste) in summary mode) is also available. *** Password expiration timer Password cache expires after elmo-passwd-life-time is passed. (nil means no expiration. Initial setting is nil) *** killed-list Deleted messages in the NNTP folder are saved to `killed-list'. The messages in the killed-list are treated as if it were not exist on the server. Non-nil value for elmo-use-killed-list enables this feature (Initial setting is t). By this feature, NNTP pipe folder works correctly. *** Maildir pack is now available M-x wl-summary-pack-number in the summary mode of Maildir folder re-numbers the messages. ** Searching *** Complex condition can be specified for filter folder AND condition, OR condition, NOT condition, and their combination can be specified. Syntax of the condition part is changed. See info for details. Caution for those who upgrade from 1.1.1: By this change, saving directory for the msgdb of filter folder is altered. Former msgdbs are not needed anymore. It does not cause any problem but if you don't want to keep useless disk, you should remove files under the directory '.elmo/filter/' beforehand. *** Searching of the NNTP folder is available Now you can make NNTP filter folder. (If only your NNTP server responds to XHDR command.) *** Pick, Virtual in summary mode now accepts complex condition. You can set AND condition and OR condition by typing 'AND' or 'OR' instead of field name. ** Session, Authentication *** elmo-default-*-authenticate-type only accepts symbol(used be a string) Example: (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type "cram-md5") should be changed to (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'cram-md5) *** stream-type can be defined. You can define stream type by elmo-network-{imap4-,pop3-,nntp-,}stream-type-alist. Some SSL related variables are abolished(renamed). You can access to the networked folders (IMAP4, NNTP, POP3) via SOCKS if you specify the folder name end with "!socks". ** Draft *** group-list is now available You can specify address like 'Group: foo@gohome.org, bar@gohome.org;'. If wl-draft-remove-group-list-contents is non-nil, the contents of group-list is removed before sending. *** The draft preview displays recipient addresses on minibuffer You can confirm the group-list recipients by this. *** Initial setting considers Reply-To:. Default setting of wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list considers Reply-To: field (Set to To: field). *** Replying rules for the messages sent from yourself. You can define replying rules for the messages sent from yourself by setting wl-draft-reply-myself-with-argument-list and wl-draft-reply-myself-without-argument-list. *** Full name is used in the reply address. If wl-draft-reply-use-address-with-full-name is non-nil, then full name is inserted in with e-mail addresses on the replied message (Initial setting is t). *** In-Reply-To: format is changed. In-Reply-To: format is changed to simple one. It is based on draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-09.txt. ** misc *** Message thread processing is improved. *** Renamed variables wl-refile-guess-func-list => wl-refile-guess-functions wl-summary-temp-above => wl-summary-target-above *** You can set function to wl-fcc. You can change fcc folder name dynamically. For example, change folder name by month. *** elmo-search-mime-charset is abolished. Charset is guessed from the string you typed. *** Useless headers are removed when you forward the message. You can specify removed headers by wl-ignored-forwarded-headers. *** wl-highlight-group-folder-by-numbers is abolished. It is renamed to wl-highlight-folder-by-numbers and has following meaning. `t' : Whole line is colored by message number. `nil' : Whole line is colored by folder status. Number (ex. `1') : Line is colored by message number and folder status. *** Header visibility control is changed. Header visibility is controlled by Wanderlust (was controlled by SEMI). You can change header visibility by wl-message-ignored-field-list and wl-message-visible-field-list. *** DEMO is changed. Less colors are used by DEMO pixmap. Emacsen on character based terminal also display suitable DEMO. * Version 1.1.1 is a bug fix version of 1.1.0 with minor user-visible changes. ** Development on the CVS server is started. ** Flush operation and sending queues if Wanderlust is started in plugged status. ** Directory structure is changed. *** 00README, 00README.ja is renamed to README, README.ja. *** All wl-* files are moved to the directory 'wl'. ** Syntax of wl-refile-rule-alist is extended (compatible with older one). ** progress gauge Progress gauge is displayed while processing in the Emacsen with progress gauge feature. * Changes in version 1.1.0 from 1.0.3. ** Install *** tm7 is not supported anymore. see the file INSTALL for details. *** WL_PREFIX and ELMO_PREFIX default as "wl" (defvar WL_PREFIX "wl") (defvar ELMO_PREFIX "wl") e.g. install directory is 1.0.3 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ 1.1.0 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/wl/ *** Change default macro in Makefile.
