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.
-
+This is the first release of our new 1.5.x-series, which is a
+DEVELOPMENT release.
-A note on PHP 4.3.x
-===================
-
-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:
+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.
-* 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.
+Data directory
+==============
-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 some 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.
+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
We constantly aim to make SquirrelMail even better. So we need you to
submit any bug you come across! Also, please mention that the bug is
-in this 1.4.0 release, and list your IMAP server and webserver details.
+in this 1.5.0 release, and list your IMAP server and webserver details.
