All about this Release!
=======================
-This is the first release of our new 1.4.x-series which is officially
-labeled STABLE! We've been through a long development trajectory
-which has resulted in this version. The big plusses of 1.4 over the
-previous 1.2.x series are enhanced stability, better compatibility
-with a wide range of mail/websystems, more features and less bugs.
-See the Major Updates section of this file for more.

-A note on PHP 4.3.x
-===================
+This is the first release of our new 1.5.x-series, which is a
+DEVELOPMENT release.
-While the developers realize that PHP 4.3.x is the "latest and greatest"
-version of PHP to be available, SquirrelMail has not been extensively
-tested with it. We currently believe that SquirrelMail should work on
-PHP 4.3.x but we lack the experience with this new version to be
-absolutely sure. If you want to be safe, or experience problems, you may
-want to downgrade to PHP 4.2.x.
+See the Major Updates section of this file for more.
Major updates
==============
-The 1.4.0 series (as a result of 1.3 developent 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; SquirrelMail
- is now a very scalable webmail solution.
-* Support for a wider range of authentication mechanisms.
-* Lots of bugfixes, some new features and a couple of UI-tweaks.
-
-
-A note on plugins
-=================
-
-There have been major plugin 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) should work. Plugin authors
-will need some time to adapt their plugins, so quite a few plugins
-might not work.
-
-So if you have ANY problem at all, first try turning off all plugins.
-If one plugin seems to be the culprit, contact the author to see if
-a 1.4.x version is underway.
-
+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.
