Version 0.5, "Salamander", 2000-09-12
-------------------------------------

Shell:

  - Switched to using ETree (Chris Toshok, Ettore)

  - Added interfaces to change the string displayed in the tree view
    as the name of the folder.  (Ettore)

Calendar:

  - Uses only the new iCalendar standard internally; this means future
    interoperability with new calendaring programs (JP, Federico).

  - New ultra-cool date range selector, aka little calendar (Damon).

  - Plenty of internal refactoring (JP, Damon, Federico).

  - Pilot working, mostly on pcs infrastructure and some todo work (JP)
    <EXPERIMENTAL>

Addressbook:

  - New advanced search dialog. (Michael Zucchi, Chris Lahey)

  - Added parsing of addresses. (Jesse Pavel)

  - Converted most of addressbook to UTF8. (Lauris)

Mailer:

  - Filters (but not vfolders) are now more powerful: they can check
    any message header, and can do regexp searches on the headers and
    body. (Jeff)

  - A first draft of an automated mailing list recognizer
    has been added. (It will need more/better rules.) (Ettore)

  - Attachments are handled differently now. All attachments always
    have an icon and a header, and you can right-click on the icon to
    view/hide, save, or launch an external viewer. (Dan)

  - It is no longer necessary to quit and restart after adding a new
    IMAP server. (Peter)

  - Lots of i18n/charset fixing. (Lauris)

  - Shiny new icons. (Tuomas)

  - Giant menu reorganization. Most message operations are now in the
    "Message" menu, and folder operations in the "Folder" menu.
    (Ettore, Dan, Peter)

  - "Mark as seen" timeout is now configurable. Mail view remembers
    the location of the message list/message display split. (Richard
    Hult)

  - New filter category: "On-demand", for filters to be applied
    at arbitrary times rather than during mail incorporation. (Peter)

  - POP/IMAP config pages allow you to specify a port... this may
    go away in a later release when we support ssl/ssh tunneling
    directly. (Peter)

  - Reply To All will now remove your own addresses from the recipient
    lists. (Jesse Pavel)

  - Folders are synced when you switch to another folder now. (Dan)

  - An IMAP bug that caused all messages to be marked as read before
    they were read has been fixed. (Dan). The IMAP provider is now
    more robust about dealing with other concurrent IMAP clients.
    (Jeff)

  - POP and IMAP are better about when they do and don't try to
    reconnect. This was part of Camel operation cancellation support,
    which unfortunately didn't make it into 0.5. (Peter)

  - Sent and Outbox folders are now functional. You now have 2 options
    when sending a message - "Send Now" which will send the message 
    imediately and "Send Later" which will queue the message in Outbox 
    for later sending. When a message is successfully sent, it is copied 
    to the Sent folder for your records. (Jeff)

ETable:

  - ETree fixes. (Chris Toshok)

  - Lots of small usability fixes. (Chris Lahey)

  - Lots of grouping bug fixes.  Specifically, fixed crashes when
    grouping in trees and made ETable not go crazy when you change
    data and the table is grouped. (Chris Lahey)

  - Improved table printing when grouped. (Chris Lahey)

  - Converted most of ETable to UTF8. (Lauris)


Version 0.4, "Alewife", 2000-08-14
----------------------------------

Shell:

  - Added interfaces to display messages and a progress bar when the
    component is busy.  (Ettore)

  - Changed the shell BonoboUIHandler code to allow placing menu items
    such as "Print" in the right places.  (Ettore)

  - Added code to check if an existing `~/evolution' directory
    actually has the content we expect and, if not, complain to the
    user.  (Dan)

  - Fixed some Bonobo-related refcounting problems.  (Michael Meeks)

  - Removed the GConf dependency.  (JP)

  - Improved the API for the folder selection dialog.  (Ettore)

  - Memory leak fixes.  (Peter)

Calendar:

  The calendar is in the middle of major rewrite. Evolution 0.4
  ships with essentially the same calendar component as 0.3 did.

Addressbook:

  - More work on the Palm Pilot conduits.  (Chris Toshok)

  - Fixed some LDAP-related crashes.  (Chris Toshok)

  - Added support for displaying embedded vCards through a Bonobo
    component.  (Chris Lahey)

  - Added support for generic fields.  (Chris Lahey)

  - Fixed the navigation order for the Tab key in the contact editor
    window.  (Chris Lahey)

  - Fixed some Bonobo-related bugs and crashes.  (Chris Lahey, Michael
    Meeks)

  - Only display entries that have an email address in the address
    selector dialog.  (Chris Lahey)

  - Added an utility program to import vCards from Gnomecard.  (Chris
    Lahey)

Mailer:

 Generic

  - Long mailer operations (such as fetching new mail) now run
    asynchronously rather than blocking the UI. This involved
    a major rewrite of much of the Camel and mailer code.  (Peter)

  - GPG/PGP message decryption support (Nathan Thompson-Amato, Dan)

  - Unfinished messages in the composer can be saved to the "Drafts"
    folder and finished later.  (Jeff)

  - Double-clicking on a message in the message view now opens it in a
    separate window.  (Jeff)

  - vCards attached to messages now bring up a minicard view with a
    button to add the vCard to the addressbook (Chris Lahey, Dan)

  - Inline uuencoded/binhexed "attachment" support (Dan)

  - "Mark All Messages Seen" command.  (Cody Russell)

 Filters / VFolders

  - Major filter/vfolder dialog rewrite (Michael Zucchi) VFolders can
    now search any (searchable) folder, not just Inbox.

  - Auto-filter/auto-vfolder code (right click on a message in the
    list and pick one of the options at the bottom of the menu to
    create a filter/vfolder rule for similar messages).  (Michael)

  - You can now set the color of messages in the message list, based
    on filter rules.  (Local stores can also now store arbitrary user
    flags, although there is not yet UI code to set/view them.)
    (Michael)

  - Added "Save" button to the quicksearch bar to save a search as a
    vfolder.  (Michael)

 Configuration

  - Major mail config dialog rewrite (JP).

  - The mailer now remembers your threaded/unthreaded message view
    setting between sessions.  (Jeremy Wise).

  - Support for multiple identities (JP, Jeff), sources (JP, Peter), and
    IMAP servers (JP, Dan)

 Providers

  - You can now leave POP mail on the server. (This will [currently]
    only work right with POP servers that support the UIDL command.
    On other servers, it will never download some messages unless you
    never delete mail.)

  - There is now an MH-like local store available, and code to convert
    a folder from one type to the other.  (Michael)

  - The mbox provider now writes out "From " lines that are more
    compatible with other mailers (like Mutt) that are picky about
    their exact format.  (Michael)

  - The IMAP provider now supports searching (Jeff). Also various
    other speed/efficiency/robustness improvements (Jeff), and support
    for old IMAP4 servers as well as IMAP4rev1 (Jon K Hellan).


Version 0.3, "Jellyfish", 2000-07-21
------------------------------------

Shell:

  - Pop-up folder selection.  (Ettore)

  - Added support for multiple views.  (Ettore)

  - Added support for saving component-specific settings, and
    some initial code to save the view's configuration.
    (Ettore)

  - Fixed the Bonobo menu code so that it works with all the
    locales.  (Ettore)

Mailer:

   - Lots of IMAP fixes.  (Jeff) 

   - You can use an external setuid/setgid movemail program
    (although we don't ship our own yet). If you have one
    installed with emacs, the configure script will find
    that. Otherwise, you can specify --with-movemail=/path.
    (Dan)

  - You can toggle HTML/plain text for an individual message
    in the composer now.  (Ettore)

  - Bonobo embedding sort of works again, but there are
    problems with size allocation somewhere. Attachments can now
    also be handled by external applications.  (Dan)

  - text/plain mail is now line-wrapped in the mail display,
    to deal with people who don't put newlines in their mail.
    (Dan)

  - Allow user to specify IMAP namespace in the mail config
    dialog.  (Dan, Jeff)

  - Quoted-printable encoder fixes.  (Michael Zucchi)

  - Various NNTP fixes, include a news pane in the config
    dialog.  (Chris Toshok)

  - Some memory corruption fixes.  (Peter Williams)

  - Fix for message not being re-drawn as deleted.  (Peter
    Williams, Jeff)

  - Moving a message to another folder copies the flags now
    (Jeff)

  - Close signature in HTML mail with </PRE>, not <PRE>, and
    default to ~/.signature.  (Michael Meeks)

  - Fixed some confusing behavior in the message threading
    algorithm.  (Dan)

  - Improvements to the item selection code.  (Chris Lahey)

Calendar:

  - Added support for a bunch of previously unsupported iCalendar
    properties.  (Federico)

  - Conduit for synchronizing the calendar with gnome-pilot
    (requires gnome-pilot from CVS).  (Seth)

  - ETable-based to-do list view ("taskpad"), for your viewing
    pleasure.

Addressbook:

  - Conduit for synchronizing the addressbook with gnome-pilot
    (requires gnome-pilot from CVS).  (Chris Toshok)

  - Conduit for synchronizing the addressbook with gnome-pilot
    (requires gnome-pilot from CVS).  (Chris Toshok)

  - Fixed some random crashes.  (Chris Lahey)

  - Implemented a vCard Bonobo control so that we can support
    inline vCard viewing in the mailer.  (Chris Lahey)

  - Quick search looks at both the name and the company name now.
    (Chris Lahey)

  - Added more functionality to the contact editor's toolbar.  (Chris
    Lahey)

  - Support for printing single cards.  (Chris Lahey)

Mailer:

  Major features:

  * Basic IMAP support (Jeff)

  * Threaded message view (Michael, Chris Toshok)

  * Filters now work (original work by Michael, bugfixes by Dan)


  Smaller features:

  * Implemented moving messages between folders (Dan)

  * Very basic printing support (Dan, but it was only like 5 lines
    of code, because gnome-print kicks ass)

  * "Delete", "Forward", and "Refile" operations now work on
    multiple messages. (Chris Lahey, Peter Williams, Dan)

  * Toggle read/unread flag when the user clicks on the envelope
    icon (Chris Lahey, Dan).

  * The "New folder" menu item now works (Ettore, Dan).

  * The filter/vfolder druid now uses the new shell folder selection
    UI (Michael)

  * Added "Cc" to the set of filter/vfolderable headers and make the
    filter/vfolder "messages to address" rule work with to or cc.
    (Dan)

  * New key bindings: "Delete" deletes the current message and jumps
    to the next undeleted message. "N" and "P" go to next/previous
    unread message. (Dan)

  * Keep asking for POP/IMAP password until the user gets it correct
    or hits Cancel, and remember the result until the user exits (or
    chooses "Forget Passwords"). (Dan, Jeff)

  * Kludge Camel to output ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8, since
    neither GtkHTML nor ETable supports UTF-8 still. (Dan)

  * Use the gnome-vfs "sniff buffer" interface to try to identify
    the MIME type of attachments without useful type information
    (Dan)

  * Allow saving drafts in the composer (Ettore)

  * Added "Received date" header to the set of possible message list
    headers. (Dan)

  * Partial gladification of the config dialog (JP Rosevear)

    when you exit, and summary should not be rebuilt when a rebuild
    isn't needed. Expunging should work reliably (Dan, Ettore,
    Jeff).

  * Fix disappearing toolbar bug (Dan).

  * Fixed a bug that made downloading of very large messages over
    POP incredibly slow, and various other smaller POP bugs. (Dan)

  * Fixed bugs that made large attachments sometimes get dropped and
    small ones sometimes get truncated. (Dan)

  * Fixed filter/vfolder "messages to address" rule to correctly
    match "to" rather than "from". (Michael)

  * Fix some text/plain formatting bugs in the composer. (Dan,
    Ettore)

  * Turn off search mode when getting new mail (to avoid corrupting
    the display). Make "get mail" always put unfiltered mail into
    Inbox rather than the current folder. (Dan)

  * Fixed a bug that caused "Re:" to be prepended even to subjects
    that started with "Re:" when replying. Added a default subject
    to forwarded messages. (Dan)

  * Make the "Attach" dialog in the composer remember the last
    directory it was in. (Dan)

  * Code to parse invalid date formats since some mailers generate
    them... (Jeff)

  * Fixed various small SMTP bugs (Jeff, Chris Lahey)

  * Fixed some memory leaks (Peter, Jeff)

  * Make replies use the text/plain part of a multipart/alternative
    if the user configured plain text rather than HTML mail sending.
    (Dan)

  * Various config dialog fixes (Jeff)

  * Partial filter/vfolder GUI facelift (Jacob)
