-All about this Release!!!
-=========================
+All about this Release!
+=======================
-This is the first 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
-restricting the ability to test no longer to people who use CVS.
+This is the first release of our new 1.5.x-series, which is a
+DEVELOPMENT release.
-So download it! Install it, and try to break it! We are hungry for any
-bug report you send. If stumbling over a bug is a true non-option,
-this release is not for you. In that case, download the stable version
-and enjoy that one.
+See the Major Updates section of this file for more.
-In general, we are planning to regularly release a 1.3.x version until
-it is stable enough to call her 1.4 or 2.0. While I'm at it, one
-comment on version numbers. Our version numbers take the form of A.B.C
- A increases with time, but only very seldomly.
- B if it is even (0, 2, 4 etc), it is a stable release
- 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 1.3.0 (this one)
-is a development release.
-We are excited to bring you the first 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. These rewrites
-have inspired me for the release alias (see down this document).
-
-
-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.
-
-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
-============================
-
-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 1.3.0
-
-
-A note on MIME
+Major updates
==============
-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
-squirrelmail-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. However, AVOID
-forwarding emails over 20k of size. Please not as well that messages
-which are NOT forwarded AS AN ATTACHMENT are COMPLETEY USELESS for our
-testing purposes.
-
+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.

+Reporting my favorite SquirrelMail 1.4 bug
==========================================
-It is not unlikely you will experience some bugs while using this
-development version. Please submit these bugs. Also, please mention
-that the bug is in this 1.3.0 release.
+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 1.5.0 release, and list your IMAP server and webserver details.

+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.

-About our Release Aliases - By Wouter Teepe
-=========================
-
-Pasta is, as we all know, a group of Italian dishes. As most of us
-know, several types of pasta exist, two of which are:
-
-* Spaghetti: Tastes good, but is very hard to untangle. Its structure
- is unneccecarily complex, but it is relatively easy to cook.
-* Lasagne: Tastes excellent, and its structure is very elegant: it is
- layered. Cooking it takes quite a bit more patience and design.
-
-I will not bore you with Italian cooking more except for this: The
-difference between spaghetti and lasagne applies to SquirrelMail as
-well. Where 1.2 is good, its inside is unneccecarily complex. Opposed
-to this, 1.3 is quite well structured from the inside. Its potential
-is true excellence. Its flavor is already excellent. Expect 1.4/2.0 to
-be, well...
-
-With the slicing up the internals of SquirrelMail, whole new
-possibilities will emerge. Listen on the development mailinglist to
-hear which!
