+ <title>What's New in Evolution 1.2</title>
+ <para>
+ If you're already familiar with Ximian Evolution 1.0, you may
+ want to know what has changed in this release. Aside from
+ performance benefits like faster POP server interaction, there
+ are new features and options, including some that may surprise
+ or confuse you. Here is a list of new and changed features:
+ <variablelist>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Configuration Interface</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The preferences dialogs have been completely
+ overhauled. There is now a single configuration dialog
+ window for all components of the program, and you can
+ access it from anywhere. To change your preferences,
+ select
+ <menuchoice>
+ <guimenu>
+ Tools
+ </guimenu>
+ <guimenuitem>
+ Configure
+ </guimenuitem>
+ </menuchoice>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Folder Preferences for Autocompletion and Offline Mode</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ You may now select which network folders which will be
+ cached locally when you go into Offline mode. Offline
+ mode now works better in general.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You may also select which contact folders will be used
+ to autocomplete addresses in the mail composer.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Redirect (Bounce) Feature Added</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ To redirect a message with all its headers instead of
+ merely forwarding it, select the message and choose
+ <menuchoice>
+ <guimenu>
+ Actions
+ </guimenu>
+ <guisubmenu>
+ Forward
+ </guisubmenu>
+ <guimenuitem>
+ Redirect
+ </guimenuitem>
+ </menuchoice>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Digest-mode Display of Forwarded Messages</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Messages that have been forwarded to you as
+ attachments are now displayed in "Digest Mode" rather
+ than inline.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>New Mail Notification</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ When new mail arrives, you may opt to have Evolution
+ beep or play a sound file that you specify.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Letter Keyboard Shortcuts</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Pressing an unmodified letter key in the Folder Bar
+ now takes you to the next folder that starts with that
+ letter; if there are several, you can press the key
+ again and it will go to the next folder that starts
+ with that letter. Similarly, you can press a letter
+ key in the message list and the message selection will
+ move to the next message whose sender begins with that
+ letter. For example, you could press the
+ <keycap>r</keycap> key to go to the next message that
+ Russell sent you.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ That means that unmodified letter shortcuts from
+ Evolution 1.0 won't work any more. The changes are:
+ <simplelist>
+ <member>
+ <keycap>,</keycap> (comma) and <keycap>.</keycap>
+ (period) are now the keyboard shortcuts for Next
+ and Previous unread messages
+ </member>
+ <member>
+ <keycap>'</keycap> (the single apostrophe) toggles
+ the message preview pane.
+ </member>
+ </simplelist>
+ Shortcuts that used the <keycap>Control</keycap> key
+ are not affected.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Added Functionality for the "New" Button</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The <guibutton>New</guibutton> now has a menu next to
+ it. As in Evolution 1.0, you can click the button once
+ to get a new item for the Evolution tool you're
+ using. However, if you click the small arrow menu to
+ the right of the button, you will find a menu that
+ allows you to create new items for the rest of
+ Evolution: All day appointments, regular appointments,
+ tasks and meetings for the calendar; mail messages for
+ the mail tool; and contacts and contact lists for the
+ address book.
