Evolution 1.1.1 --------------- New features: * General - The toolbar now includes a "New" dropdown menu/button from which you can create messages, appointments, etc. from within any folder. - A new, integrated configuration dialog for all of Evolution is now provided. - When you use the folder selection dialog, you can now jump to a folder just by typing its name and hitting Enter (instead of using the arrows or the mouse). - You can now specify your default mail, calendar, tasks and contacts folders. The shortcuts in the shortcut bar will always point to the default folder; so for example if you have an IMAP account you can specify that the INBOX on the IMAP account is default and clicking on the Inbox icon on the shortcut bar will take you to the INBOX on the IMAP account. - Fonts for displaying of HTML mail can now be configured from within Evolution (instead of having to use GNOME Control Center). - You can now make Evolution play a sound, beep, or display a message when new mail arrives. It is also possible to trigger these actions based on a filter rule. - The behavior of the search bar has been improved, and the UI has been integrated better with the menu bar and the rest of the system. - For the table-based views, you can now define, save and reuse view settings using the "View" menu. - The Send/Receive button is now always accessible from any folder. - Easier to build on non-GNU, and non-GCC systems (e.g. MacOS/X, HP/UX, Solaris). - Now installs some libraries and headers required for external module development. - You now can drop objects (eg. mail messages, appointments) directly to the folders on the shortcut bar (in 1.0.x, you could only drop them in the folder folder bar). - * Calendar - Loading speed has been improved. - When you receive an appointment through email, you can choose which calendar to update, and if its for an existing appointment the folder is automatically detected - Calendar importer now supports importing to remote folders. - Calendar GUI and alarm daemon now use listeners for the configuration. - Reaction to calendar backends crashing has been improved. - Show status messages for all long calendar operations. - Fixed default reminders description (was 'Untitled appointment'). - Included timezone information on VCALENDAR's used in copy/paste. - Removed extra space that was displayed for categories without icons. - Fixed crashes in the alarm daemon. - Fixed crashes in calendar related to creating new evolution windows. - When right clicking, correctly select the underlying date/time. - Meeting scheduling improvements; sends replies when you update your attendance status, warnings if the user changes a meeting they didn't create. - Deleting a meeting with a right click will now offer to send a cancellation notice. - Can accept meeting replies from non-attendees (they become attendees). - Fixed work day so start can't be before end, its minimum 1 hour and the unshaded zone is not rounded to the nearest time division (allowing the work hours to be 0:00 to 23:59). - Fixed task view to update completion status the same as the editor. - Fixed leap year problem with day of week. - Handle "last day of the month" and "last Tuesday of the month" type recurrences. * Contacts - It is now possible to specify which folders are used for autocompletion globally. - Improved address selection dialog (for sending mail and meeting requests). - Improved feedback for search results for all backends and the UI. - SSL/STARTTLS suport for LDAP has been added. - Caches are built for local addressbooks to speed up autocompletion. - Fixed wombat/addressbook crashes dealing with autocompletion, it should be much more stable now. - Categories on LDAP are now stored using a multivalued attribute (category) instead of a comma separated list (categories), so searches on categories in ldap actually work. The old attribute is deprecated and should not be used. - Standardized some of the static properties of addressbooks, and removed some local addressbook logic from the frontend. - When editing contacts from the composer entries (To:, CC:), pop up the right kind of editor based on the contact type. - Much improved LDAP backend responsiveness and performance. * Mail - New, much faster indexing engine. This results in faster mail incorporation, faster mail display, and faster searches. Overall, the new engine should work much better for larger folders, and take considerably less space on the disk. - Faster POP3 download, using the server's pipeline extensions if available. - If you type multiple words in the search bar for the "... Contains" rules, Evolution will search messages that contain all of the words you specified, in any order. - More consistent search results for indexed, non-indexed and remote folders. - UTF8 (Unicode) used for all searches, even with IMAP servers. - It is now possible to mark messages for follow-up and other flags. It is also possible to change the color in which a specific message is displayed in the mail list. - When the message list is sorted by a certain field, it is possible to jump to the first item in the list that matches a certain string by just typing the first few characters. - Filters are now updated automatically when the destination folder gets moved or removed. - A new filter rule allows you to pipe mail through an external process to find out whether or not to filter it. - You can now specify which folders get synced when switching to offline mode. - All previously read messages are automatically downloaded for offline use. - Offline state is preserved between sessions. Generally, offline mode is more stable and complete. - STARTTLS support for POP, SMTP and IMAP has been added. - IMAP can now handle folder names containing &, -, and UTF-8 characters. - You can have all of your mail Auto-Cc:ed or auto-Bcc:ed to a specified set of recipients. - SMTP error reporting has been improved. - Much improved GnuPG support.
