                 <http://claws.sylpheed.org>

	   the S A N T A - C L A W S [II] release

This release of sylpheed-claws is based on version 0.8.7 of 
the main Sylpheed branch.

Notes for this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GnuPG support now requires GPGME 0.3.10 or greater
Detecting of expired signatures requires GnuPG 0.3.6 or 
greater
To enable SSL support use --enable-openssl

New features in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Extended Search
	Available from the Quick Search menu, Extended Search
	uses powerful Mutt-like patterns. For a complete list
	of syntax see README.claws. 
  
* SSL manager in Tools menu
	New certificate presentation UI.
	Checking of certificates without a DNS lookup.
	Deletion and silent accepting of certificates is 
	possible

* Indication of unread answers to marked mails
	'(!)' is appended to the folder name when a
	marked message has a response

* IMAP and Mbox folders now also have drag 'n' drop support,
  along with MH folders.

* Spring-loaded folders on drag 'n' drop
	Closed folder trees will automatically open

* Automatic scrolling of the folder view during drag 'n' drop
  
* command-line processing BEFORE gtk_init

	environment (e.g. crontab or ip-up, ip-down scripts).

  messages. No more hanging for dial-up users with remote
  folders after a crash.

  folders via the right-click menu

  key has expired. Expiration date is displayed.

  incomplete rules in scoring, filtering and processing.
