-=========================
+All about this Release!
+=======================
-This is the first Release Candidate (RC) for the 1.4.x stable series.
-Please note that this release is not yet labeled STABLE officially.
+This is the first release of our new 1.5.x-series, which is a
+DEVELOPMENT release.
-However, we've been running this on a number of systems and a variety
-of configs and we think it's worthy of the "stable"-title. Before we
-can call it stable we want to test it on as many systems as possible
-to iron out the last issues.
-
-So download it! Install it, and try to break it! We are hungry for any
-bug report you send.
+See the Major Updates section of this file for more.
Major updates
==============
-The 1.4.0 series (as a result of 1.3 devel series) brings:
-
-* A complete rewrite of the way we send mail (Deliver-class),
- and of the way we parse mail (MIME-bodystructure parsing).
- This makes SquirrelMail more reliable and more efficient
- at the same time!
-* Support for IMAP UID which makes SquirrelMail more reliable.
-* Optimizations to code and the number of IMAP calls.
-* Support for a wider range of authentication mechanisms.
-* Lots of bugfixes and a couple of UI-tweaks.

-A note on plugins
-=================
-
-There have been very severe architecture improvements. Lots of plugins
-have not yet been adapted to this. Plugins which are distributed with
-this release (eg. in the same .tar.gz file) may work. Plugins not
-distributed with this plugin most probably WILL NOT WORK.
+1.5.0 includes the integration of the delete_move_next plugin,
+as well as a new "save replies to the same folder as the original"
+option.
-So if you have ANY problem at all, first try turning off all plugins.
+Data directory

-A note on your configuration
-============================
-
-For a whole bunch of reasons, it is MANDATORY that you run conf.pl
-(and then save your configuration) from the config/ directory before
-using this release.
-
-If you have problems with UID support, please do these 2 things:
-
-1) For our comfort and the prosper of SquirrelMail:
- send a bugreport with this information
- * IMAP server type + version
- * Whether you use server-side sorting
- * Whether you use thread sorting
- * The value of "sort" (as in conf.pl)
- bugs can be submitted at: http://www.squirrelmail.org/bugs
-2) For your own pleasure and comfort:
- turn of UID support in conf.pl, so you can continue to use 1.4.0
+The directory data/ used to be included in our tarball. Since placing this
+dir under a web accessible directory is not very wise, we've decided to not
+pack it anymore; you need to create it yourself. Please choose a location
+that's safe, e.g. somewhere under /var.
Reporting my favorite SquirrelMail 1.4 bug
==========================================
-This RC is meant to catch the last bugs. So we need you to submit
-any bug you come across! Also, please mention that the bug is in
-this 1.4.0 RC1 release.

+Thanks for your cooperation with this. That helps us to make

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
bug reports, but also closed ones as a bug that you report MAY have
been fixed in CVS already.
