The +latest added features are: + + * MDN Support - You can send and request delivery & read receipts. + * Enhanced Search functions - search multiple folders at once, + search history + * And another pileful of fixes and omtimisations + +See the Changelog file for details. + +Being one of the most popular webmail clients, the developers of +SquirrelMail feel a huge desire and responsibility to continue push +the envelope and make SquirrelMail the best it can possibly be. You +will not be disappointed with this release, as it is by far the most +feature rich, and yet it is still the same sleek and unbloated and +cuddly webmail application that we have all grown to love. Here is +an incomplete list of new features and enhancements since the last +stable release. + + * Collapsible Folders - The folder list can be collapsed at any + parent folder. This makes folder lists with large + hierarchical structures much easier to manage and navigate. + * The Paginator! - This enables quick access to any page in the + message list by simply choosing the page number to view + rather than tediously clicking "next" 50 times. + * Hundreds of UI tweaks - The user interface has been given a + face-lift. The HTML has been largely overhauled, and while + it still has the same general feel, it has been made more + intuitive. + * Drafts - It is now possible to compose a message and save it to + be sent at a later date with the drafts option. + * New Options Page - The options page has been completely + rewritten for several reasons, the main of which was to + allow seamless integration of plugin options and to + provide uniformity throughout the entire section. + * Multiple Identities - It is now possible to create different + identities (home, work, school) that can be chosen upon + sending. Each identity can have its own email address, + full name, and signature. + * Reply Citations - Different types of citations are now possible + when replying to messages. + * Better Attachment Handling - The plugin, attachment_common, has + been fully integrated into the core of SquirrelMail. This + allows inline viewing of several different types of + attachments. + * Integration of Several Plugins - The following plugins have been + put directly into the core. As a result, be sure not to + install these as plugins, as the result may be (at best) + unpredictable: attachment_common, paginator, priority, + printer_friendly, sqclock, xmailer. + * Improved support for newer versions of PHP. Note that you may + have trouble if you are running PHP version 4.0.100 + (commonly distributed with Debian 3.0). + * Ability to mark messages as read and unread from the message listing. + * Alternating Colors - The message list now alternates row colors + by default. This presents a much cleaner and easier to + read interface to the user. + +Aside from these obvious front end features, there are hundreds of +bugs that have been fixed, and much of the code has been optimized +and/or rewritten. This stable release is far superior in all +aspects to all previous versions of SquirrelMail. + + Home Page: http://www.squirrelmail.org/ + Download: http://www.squirrelmail.org/download.php + ScreenShots: http://www.squirrelmail.org/screenshots.php + + +Reporting my favorite SquirrelMail 1.2 bug +========================================== + +Of course, in the words of Linus Torvalds, this release is officially +certified to be Bug-Free (tm). + +However, if for some reason some bugs manage to find their way to the +surface, please report them at once (after all, they ARE uncertified +bugs!!!) The PROPER place to report these bugs is the SquirrelMail Bug +Tracker. + + http://www.squirrelmail.org/bugs + +Thank you for your cooperation in that issue. That helps us to make +sure that nothing slips through the cracks. Also, it would help if +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 +spend sorting through bug reports. And remember, check not only OPEN +bug reports, but also closed ones as a bug that you report MAY have +been fixed in CVS already. + + +Important Note about PHP 4.1.0 +============================== + +Finally, we have managed to make *this* SquirrelMail release cooperate +nicely with the new PHP 4.1 release. As opposed to 1.2.4 and before, +which was less good friends with PHP 4.1. + +So: "Yes! It works" + +About our Release Aliases - by Wouter Teepe +========================= + +Back with the release of 1.2.0, back when Christmas was recent, and +not the Olympics, there was this vision of structurgin the +SquirrelMail community into "Teams", all doing their own thing. + +Finally, the teams have really kicked off. :-) + +And, I would like to welcome all our new community members, being both +YOU, the eventful users of SquirrelMail, as well as Simon Dick, Jason +Munro, Pete Palmer and Chris Hills who have became team leads, as +well as Marc Groot Koerkamp and Thijs Kinkhorst (both just by incident +inhabitants of the same country as me :-)) who have recently joined +SquirrelMail and have made worthy contributions. + +Welcome to the SquirrelMail teams. + +(And now...get the Great Rewrite geared up) + +See http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/SquirrelRelease for more details. + + Happy SquirrelMailing! + - The SquirrelMail Project Team -- 2.25.1
