|
|
|
+All about this Release!!!
|
|
|
+=========================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The 1.2 series is continuing to get better and more featured. The
|
|
|
+latest added features are:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * MDN Support - You can send and request delivery & read receipts.
|
|
|
+ * Enhanced Search functions - search multiple folders at once,
|
|
|
+ search history
|
|
|
+ * And another pileful of fixes and omtimisations
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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 new features and enhancements since the last
|
|
|
+stable release.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * 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.
|
|
|
+ * 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.
|
|
|
+ * 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.
|
|
|
+ * 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. Note that you may
|
|
|
+ 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
|
|
|
+ read interface to the user.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.

|
|
+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 4.1.0
|
|
|
+==============================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+So: "Yes! It works"
|

|
|
|
+About our Release Aliases - by Wouter Teepe
|
|
|
+=========================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Finally, the teams have really kicked off. :-)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+(And now...get the Great Rewrite geared up)
