+All about this Release!!!
|
|
|
+=========================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Squirrelmail.
|
|
|
+It's feature set is that of a desktop client.
|
|
|
+It's ease of use is unheard of.
|
|
|
+It's ..ehem.. bug free.
|
|
|
+There is nowhere else to go...
|
|
|
+Except to the 1.2.6 stable version of Squirrelmail!!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ We are excited to bring you the latest and greatest Squirrelmail release
|
|
|
+to date. More features you say? You got it. Better performance is what
|
|
|
+you need? Expect it. Looking for a Sqirrelmail with less bugs? It is here.
|
|
|
+Here are some highlights:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Greatly improved Cross Site Scripting Protection with a new custom
|
|
|
+ html filter.
|
|
|
+ * Improved search and filter functions, allowing for non-ascii search
|
|
|
+ and filter criteria.
|
|
|
+ * Server side sorting capability to improve performance with large
|
|
|
+ mailboxes.
|
|
|
+ * Most importantly, Many, many bugfixes. And more bugfixes. did I mention
|
|
|
+ bugfixes?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+See the Changelog file for details.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 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 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.
|
|
|
+ * Hundreds of UI tweaks - The user interface has been given a
|
|
|
+ face-lift. The HTML has been largely overhauled, and while
|
|
|
+ it still has the same general feel, it has been made more
|
|
|
+ intuitive.
|
|
|
+ * Drafts - It is now possible to compose a message and save it to
|
|
|
+ be sent at a later date with the drafts option.
|
|
|
+ * Ability to mark messages as read and unread from the message listing.
|
|
|
+ * New Options Page - The options page has been completely
|
|
|
+ rewritten for several reasons, the main of which was to
|
|
|
+ allow seamless integration of plugin options and to
|
|
|
+ provide uniformity throughout the entire section.
|
|
|
+ * Multiple Identities - It is now possible to create different
|
|
|
+ identities (home, work, school) that can be chosen upon
|
|
|
+ sending. Each identity can have its own email address,
|
|
|
+ full name, and signature.
|
|
|
+ * Ability to forward messages as attachments from the message listing.
|
|
|
+ * Reply Citations - Different types of citations are now possible
|
|
|
+ when replying to messages.
|
|
|
+ * Better Attachment Handling - The plugin, attachment_common, has
|
|
|
+ been fully integrated into the core of SquirrelMail. This
|
|
|
+ allows inline viewing of several different types of
|
|
|
+ attachments.
|
|
|
+ * Integration of Several Plugins - The following plugins have been
|
|
|
+ put directly into the core. As a result, be sure not to
|
|
|
+ install these as plugins, as the result may be (at best)
|
|
|
+ unpredictable: attachment_common, paginator, priority,
|
|
|
+ printer_friendly, sqclock, xmailer.
|
|
|
+ * 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
|
|
|
+ with large mailboxes. Server-sid thread sorting support allows
|
|
|
+ users to display mailboxes in thread-sort order.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.

+Reporting my favorite SquirrelMail 1.2 bug
|
|
|
+==========================================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Of course, in the words of Linus Torvalds, this release is officially
|
|
|
+certified to be Bug-Free (tm).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+However, if for some reason some bugs manage to find their way to the
|
|
|
+surface, please report them at once (after all, they ARE uncertified
|
|
|
+bugs!!!) The PROPER place to report these bugs is the SquirrelMail Bug
|
|
|
+Tracker.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ http://www.squirrelmail.org/bugs
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Thank you for your cooperation in that issue. That helps us to make
|
|
|
+sure that nothing slips through the cracks. Also, it would help if
|
|
|
+people would check existing tracker items for a bug before reporting
|
|
|
+it again. This would help to eliminate duplicate reports, and
|
|
|
+increase the time we can spend CODING by DECREASING the time we
|
|
|
+spend sorting through bug reports. And remember, check not only OPEN
|
|
|
+bug reports, but also closed ones as a bug that you report MAY have
|
|
|
+been fixed in CVS already.

+Important Note about PHP 4.2.0
|
|
|
+==============================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 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.

+About our Release Aliases - By Jason Munro
|
|
|
+=========================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This is the development path.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Forget what you thought you knew about Squirrelmail,
|
|
|
+and get ready for a whole new nut.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Happy SquirrelMailing!
