+   Being one of the most popular webmail clients, the developers of
 SquirrelMail feel a huge desire and responsibility to continue push
 the envelope and make SquirrelMail the best it can possibly be. You
 will not be disappointed with this release, as it is by far the most
 feature rich, and yet it is still the same sleek and unbloated and
 cuddly webmail application that we have all grown to love. Here is
-an incomplete list of new features and enhancements since the last
-stable release.
+an incomplete list of some of the great features that Squirrelmail
+has to offer:
 
   * Collapsible Folders - The folder list can be collapsed at any
           parent folder. This makes folder lists with large
           hierarchical structures much easier to manage and navigate.
+  * Fix for the "theme passed as cookie" exploit posted to the bug-
+          traq mailing list.
   * The Paginator! - This enables quick access to any page in the
           message list by simply choosing the page number to view
           rather than tediously clicking "next" 50 times.

+  * Ability to mark messages as read and unread from the message listing.
   * New Options Page - The options page has been completely

-          have trouble if you are running PHP version 4.0.100
-          (commonly distributed with Debian 3.0).
-  * Ability to mark messages as read and unread from the message listing.
-  * Alternating Colors - The message list now alternates row colors
-          by default.  This presents a much cleaner and easier to

+  * Improved support for newer versions of PHP. Recommended versions
+          are 4.0.3 -> 4.1.2. 
+  * Server-side sorting support adds speed to the mailbox display, even

+          users to display mailboxes in thread-sort order.
 
-Aside from these obvious front end features, there are hundreds of
-bugs that have been fixed, and much of the code has been optimized
-and/or rewritten.  This stable release is far superior in all
-aspects to all previous versions of SquirrelMail.
+  
+I am sure there are plenty more features I have missed. You just have
+to try it for yourself!
+
+Having been involved with Squirrelmail for a while I can safely say
+that this stable release has the most bugfixes to date. The invaluable
+contributions of the Squirrelmail community, from developers and users
+alike have helped to make this release of Squirrelmail the best yet.

-Important Note about PHP 4.1.0
+Important Note about PHP 4.2.0
 ==============================
 
-Finally, we have managed to make *this* SquirrelMail release cooperate
-nicely with the new PHP 4.1 release. As opposed to 1.2.4 and before,
-which was less good friends with PHP 4.1.
+  A few days before this release, PHP 4.2.0 hit the net. The Squirrelmail
+team has not had a chance to test this new version of PHP with the 1.2.6
+release. The recommended versions of PHP for Squirrelmail 1.2.6 is 4.0.3
+through 4.1.2.
 
-So: "Yes! It works"

 =========================
 
-Back with the release of 1.2.0, back when Christmas was recent, and
-not the Olympics, there was this vision of structurgin the
-SquirrelMail community into "Teams", all doing their own thing.
+Squirrelmail has started on a new journey.
+Two journeys really. 
+  
+In one, our beloved hero delves deep inside its squirrel-self, 
+searching for calmness and peace with its surroundings. 
+Striving to hone its squirrel-skills against any and all obstacles.
+
+This is the stable path.
+
+In the other, our champion has shed the failures of its past and
+started anew on a wild adventure through uncharted territory. The
+dangers are great, but so are the rewards.
 
-Finally, the teams have really kicked off. :-)
+This is the development path.
 
-And, I would like to welcome all our new community members, being both
-YOU, the eventful users of SquirrelMail, as well as Simon Dick, Jason
-Munro, Pete Palmer and Chris Hills who have became team leads, as
-well as Marc Groot Koerkamp and Thijs Kinkhorst (both just by incident
-inhabitants of the same country as me :-)) who have recently joined
-SquirrelMail and have made worthy contributions.
 
-Welcome to the SquirrelMail teams.
+  Squirrelmail 1.2.6 is the latest stepping-stone on the stable
+path. It leads to a Squirrelmail of unseen dependablity and
+performance.
+  Squirrelmail 2.0 development has begun. This is the first step
+on the journey down the development path. New worlds of possiblity
+are opening up with each step.
 
-(And now...get the Great Rewrite geared up)
+Forget what you thought you knew about Squirrelmail, 
+and get ready for a whole new nut.
