		SYLPHEED-CLAWS  RELEASE NOTES
                 <http://claws.sylpheed.org>

This release of Sylpheed-Claws is based on version 0.9.0cvs7
of the main Sylpheed branch.


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

Multi-process network I/O has been implemented for POP3 and
SMTP in the main Sylpheed branch and has been added to this
release.

All plugins should be reloaded as the name of the plugin block
in ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc has changed and old plugins are not 
found. The old block can be removed.

There have been some flag handling changes, so you might need
to use 'Rescan folder tree'.

In '/Configuration/Common Preferences/Interface' the 'Open 
messages in summary with cursor keys' option has been renamed
as 'Always open messages in summary when selected'. This 
option defaults to FALSE, so if you previously had this option
checked then you will need to re-set it.

Image viewing is now handled by a new Image Viewer Plugin. For
details, see below. 

The 'Selective Download' feature has been temporarily removed
due to the POP3 rewrite. The author is currently considering a
rewrite of 'Selectie Download' in the form of a plugin.

The SSL certificate check is temporarily disabled.

New features in this release:
