All about this Release!!!
=========================
-This is the second release on our way to a new stable series.
+This is the third release on our way to a new stable series.
On our way to, that is, this is a development release, which is not
intended for production servers. We feel that releasing development
versions will help us making the to-be stable release more stable, and
if it is odd (1, 3, 5 etc), it is a development release
C indicates small changes.
Which is to say our version numbering system is the same as that of
-the linux kernel. So 1.2.7 is a stable version, and 1.3.1 (this one)
+the linux kernel. So 1.2.9 is a stable version, and 1.3.2 (this one)
is a development release.
We are excited to bring you the fruits of a very good development
series. Major rewrites of the back-end and the user interface have
been happening since the 1.2 series.
+Major updates
+==============
+
+To summarize the major updates in the 1.3.2 release:
+* The support of register globals = off
+* A complete rewrite of the way we send mail (Deliver-class)
+* Lot's of bugfixes.
+
+
+A note on solved bugs
+=====================
+
+After the release of 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 we received lots of usefull bug-reports.
+At this moment we can say that most issues are solved.
+One of the biggest bug reporter was Cor Bosman from the dutch ISP XS4ALL.
+They scheduled the use of SquirrelMail 1.3.2 because of it's UID support.
+At this moment they are switched over to 1.3.2 CVS and it's running fine on
+the production servers. The imap-server load was dropped significantly and
+that's exactly what we tried to establish in the DEVEL branche.
+
A note on plugins
=================
So if you have ANY problem at all, first try turning off all plugins.

-A note on PHP 4.2.2
-===================
-
-There are certain issues with PHP 4.2.2 and session handling that have
-not yet been addresses in this release. So this release MAY NOT WORK
-when you use PHP 4.2.2. These issues will be addressed to in
-forthcoming 1.3.x releases.

A note on your configuration

* 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:

-In case you stumble over a message of which something goes wrong with
-MIME (it does not display some of its parts all right, etc. etc.),
-please forward the message AS AN ATTACHMENT to

-forwarding emails over 20k of size. Please not as well that messages
-which are NOT forwarded AS AN ATTACHMENT are COMPLETEY USELESS for our

-About our Release Aliases - By Wouter Teepe
+About our Release Aliases
=========================
-
-In the last months we have had our development team enlarged by,
-amongst others, Marc. Marc has been one of the greatest contributors
-to the stable series. After the release of 1.3.0, just 2 days ago, he
-managed to fix many many small bugs that were found. Almost when
-others (including myself) just thought "Huh, another release?" Marc
-was working hard to improve all kind of things. All fixes in this
-release (and possibly new bugs ;-)) are due to his hard work.
-
-Keep up the good work, Marc!
+With the release of 1.3.2 we can say we realy cracked some nuts regarding
+hard to solve issues.
+Future devel versions will continue carrying "Nut" releasenames
+to keep the squirrel satisfied. Since winter is coming we better hurry up
+with new "Nut" releases. We don't want a death squirrel due to starvation.
+So next time you see a squirrel feed him nuts, think about SquirrelMail and
+a new friendship is born.
Happy SquirrelMailing!
