<title>Postilion changes list</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Postilion changes list</h1>
<a name="changes">
<h2>What are the latest changes?</h2>
<h3>Coming in future releases</h3>
<ul>
<li>New filter-by-example function, with trigger (button, on mailbox open, menu selection),
expression, and action (tag with color, hide, unhide, move, delete, browse) semantics.</li>
<li>Adding ACAP support for mailbox, address list and other configuration information.</li>
<li>Adding libPropList support for storing of preferences, options and mailbox and address
hierarchy information</li>
<li>Better folder navigation during new message browsing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.9.2 (April 17, 1999)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed bugs with send/save, bounce and Send bug reort.
I really mean it this time!!</li>
<li>Added "Flag as answered" command.</li>
<li>Changed all "Falg as ..." commands to act as toggles.</li>
<li>Fixed bug with "Import MH Directory" function.</li>
<li>Fixed bugs introduced into DND functions.</li>
<li>Fixed Sender style dynamic folders to create files with
usable names. For example, a message sent by <br><code>
"John Smith" <jsmith@abcdef.com><br></code>
used to get saved as <br><code>
John Smith <jsmith <br></code>
which Postilion could then not open. Now it will be saved as<br><code>
John Smith<br></code>
which Postilion can open. (Thanks to Tim Wundke!).</li>
<li>Cleaned up mailbox list maintenance code. This should reduce
the size of "vfolderlist" files.</li>
<li>Removed the HTML parsing code. This was the single largest
source of bug reports, so it is now gone. I am working with
some replacements, and should have something worked out soon.</li>
<li>Updated Swedish translation (Thanks to Martin S.!).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.9.1a (February 27, 1999)</h3>
<ul>
<li>*Fixed bugs with send/save, bounce and Send bug report.</li>
<li>*Added new setting "Display Button Bar" to Appearences
pane in Preferences.</li>
<li>*Added Send and Send/Save entries to Compose menu.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.9.1 (February 8, 1999)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Changes copyright on all images to the OpenContent License (OPL)</li>

changes when you hadn't.</li>
<li>Fixed bug in expire code.</li>
<li>Fixed Changes alerting system (what you're reading right now).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.9.0 (January 31, 1999)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added new PGP buttons to the compose window when PGP is enabled.
Note: The meaning of the PGP lock button is now encrypt, where
it used to be attach keys. There are now separate buttons for attach
keys and sign. There is also now a button for DSN notification
request. These buttons will auto size and auto arrange to account
for different PGP confiigurations, so your compose windows may
appear different from the picture on the web site.</li>
<li>Fixed longstanding bug with mailbox sorting. Much thanks to
Luke Kendall <luke@zeta.org.au>, the newset member of the
Postilion development team.</li>
<li>Added CREDITS and COPYRIGHT.images files.</li>
<li>Added check for tkstepConfig.sh to the configure script.</li>
<li>Proper detection and configuration for AIX4.2.</li>
<li>Added option to expunge deleted messages on mailbox close.</li>

<li>Added options to open selected mailboxes on startup. Such
mailboxes may be opened minimized or not.</li>
<li>Added option to append to an existing file when saving message
parts from the message window.</li>
<li>Numerous bug fixes in address book.</li>
<li>When quoting a message, if text is selected in the message being
quoted, only that text will be quoted.</li>
<li>Bug fixed in importing mailrc file aliases.</li>
<li>Fixed the behavior of the New button in the Mailboxes window.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug with clicking on URLs with commas in them.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.9 (September 26, 1998)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed focus problem when new mail comes in to a different window
than the currently active one.</li>
<li>Fixed bug with message flagging.</li>
<li>Other minor bug fixes.</li>
<li>Upgraded c-client toolkit.</li>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.8b (September 1, 1998)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Reinstalled code which closes program when last window closes. (lost in code transfer).</li>
<li>Fixed message selection during and after moves.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.8a (August 31, 1998)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed typo which caused color choice settings in the preferences dialog to not be saved.</li>
</ul>
<H3>Postilion 0.8.8 (August 30, 1998)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Copyright changed to GPL 2.0</li>
<li>Addresslist made more compatable with regular Tk (as opposed to TkStep).</li>
<li>Postilion will now let you send a message with no address in To:, as
long as there is at least one address in either Cc: or Bcc:.</li>
<li>The Spell Check button has been removed from the compose window.
On the fly spell checking remains, and there is a Spell Check item
in the Edit menu.</li>
<li>Attach and Detach buttons on the Compose window have been stacked
together, to save space.</li>
<li>Changed the default when quitting a compose session to be "abort"
instead of "hold".</li>
<li>Changed alias expansion to expand to full address, with full name,
if available. Previous behavior was only to expand upon sending.</li>
<li>Changed file attachment symantics to comply with newer RFCs.
Postilion should now interoperate cleanly with all modern MUAs when
attaching files, preserving filenames appropriately. Buffer overflow
file attachment trojan horses are not a problem.</li>
<li>Added simple Date field to expressions. This is not fully functional
yet, but can allow for simple selection by date and date range.
(expect more in coming releases).</li>
<li>Changes have been made in some icons (Thanks Marco!!). Each
window type gets its own mini-window icon now.</li>
<li>Mailbox Compact (sync) button has been removed from the Mailbox
browser window to save space. The menu choice is still there, as is
the hot key.</li>
<li>Message status colors are now user settable, in Preferences.</li>
<li>Numerous window sizing and placement bugs have been fixed (thanks
to Kenneth J. Dowling <kdowling@concentric.net>).</li>
<li>Numerous bugs with message list selection, sorting, etc. fixed.</li>
<li>Fixed bug with Ispell process not ending, and Postilion processes
hanging around (thanks to Kenneth J. Dowling
<kdowling@concentric.net>).</li>
<li>Help text changed to eliminate references to TkRat. (thanks to
Dave Whitinger <dwhiting@adc.com>).</li>
<li>Some improvements have been made in the focus of windows during
various operations.</li>
<li>Several new image types are now supported with the use of
Jan Nijtmans' <nijtmans@nici.kun.nl> Img library. This
library will be used, if present, to automatically display all
MIME attachments of supported formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, XPM,
XBM, Postscript, PDF).</li>
<li>Fixed numerous bugs with un-initialized variables.</li>
<li>New Preferences pane, Appearance, which collects all of the
appearance related settings, such as colors, in one place. </li>
<li>Postilion will no longer close if there is a sharing violation
on a mailbox. The mailbox browser will close for that mailbox, but
the main program will only close if that mailbox browser is the only
window open.</li>
<li>Postilion will now automatically close when its last window is
closed.</li>
<li>The newest version of the C-client library is included.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.7</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added new mailbox view area to main browser window. This view lets you select and open mailboxes and move messages between mailboxes, without having the Mailboxes window on the screen. The Mailboxes window is still needed to manage mailboxes. There is a "Show Mailbox View" option which can be turned on in the "Folder" pane in Preferences. There is also a new sash above the message list which, when selected, will pop down the mailbox view, another click and the view closes.</li>
<li>Changed the Ispell implementation to that used by Exmh. Spell checking is now done on-the-fly, with misspelled words flagged in user configurable styles. Check the balloon help in the new "Ispell" pane in the preferences window for all of the new settings/options.</li>
<li>Changed the way the the date/time is set in the clock widget in the Browser windows. The clock will now display the message time and date even when the Date: header is not displayed, and will display all zeros when there is no message selected.</li>
<li>Changed the class and instance information of all windows. All windows now have the class "Postilion" and an instance which reflects their purpose. Anyone who is using class or instance information in .Xdefaults or similar such things may need to update their files. WindowMaker users may need to update configurations. I will try not to alter this information any further.</li>
<li>Fixed a memory coruption problem in the date-style dynamic folder code. Messages can now be moved into date-style dynamic folders (much thanks to Tim Chase for finding this bug).</li>
<li>No longer allow <spaces> to be entered into the alias field of the address widget. Spaces are not allowed in alias names.</li>
<li>Added a hot-key (Control-i) to the compose window to pop up the Insert File dialog box.</li>
<li>Some default key bindings have changed. Check the Define Keys item in the Info menu for each window type to see what all is different.</li>
<li>All windows should now hide properly.</li>
<li>Fixed an ancient bug in the window sizing code. Postilion windows will now properly remember their size and placement. Only the first window of a given type will be mapped into the stored location, and only the last one closed will record it's size/position.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug which sometimes caused dialog boxes to not map correctly.</li>
<li>Numerous other major and minor bug fixes.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.6</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added support for System wide IMAP mailboxes. During startup, Postilion will search for a file called <code>sysvfolderdef</code> in the global configuration directories. If it exists, this file is sourced. <a href="sysvfolderdef">See the demo file in the docs directory</a> for details of how system mailboxes work.</li>
<li>Added Focus/Unfocus commands. These constrain the Next/Previous/Next-Unread keys to the set of flagged messages in a mailbox.</li>
<li>Added a sense of focus to the find command. When finding in a message list, the function of the Next/Previous/Next-Unread keys are constrained to the messages matching the find.</li>
<li>Added color coding to the message list. Blue for answered, Red for flagged, Green for unseen, Yellow for deleted.</li>
<li>Added new feature allowing a drag-to-flag behaviour. When the right mouse button is dragged across the message list, it will flag a range of messages.</li>
<li>Added menu entries and keybindings for Select-All, Delselect-All to facilitate bulk message flagging.</li>
<li>Removed the Create-in-window group option, as it is no longer needed with the above changes.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug with pressing the enter key whilein the Find window.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.5a (unreleased)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Removed invalid language entries from message, help and balloon help text files.</li>
<li>Re-added traditional menus, with NeXT style menus as an option. This is set in the Startup pane in preferences.</li>
<li>Added mailbox cut and paste in the Mailboxes window. This allows you to cut a mailbox,
or an entire hierarchy from the tree, and paste it elsewhere in the tree.</li>
<li>When a preference requiring a restart is changed, the program will close. This is to prevent instabilities caused by changing things behind the backs of some widgets.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.5 (unreleased)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Incorporated all changes from TkRat 1.1 (previously used 1.0.5). Some highlights include:</li>
<ul>
<li>Various Makefile fixes</li>
<li>Timezone function checking in the configure cycle.</li>
<li>Other configure changes to support more platforms better (ie: RedHat 5.0, Solaris, FreeBSD).</li>
<li>Spaces may now be used in the address fields without special keystrokes.</li>
<li>Improvements in the code used to determine if the message is from yourself.</li>
<li>Changed copyright statement.</li>
<li>When you move a flagged message to another folder the flagging is cleared instead of kept as it used to be.</li>
<li>Changed the default tk binding for entries and text so that the selection is not cleared as soon as you move the cursor.</li>
<li> Added documentation in CONFIGURATION-file of how to set the system address book.</li>
<li>Total rewrite of the help system. There are now balloon help entries for most buttons and fields and the help window is much more intuitive (as well as redone).</li>
</ul>
<li>Updated the C-Client library, the backend for Postilion.</li>
<li>Added menu choices and key accelerators to flag messages as seen or unseen.</li>
<li>Added balloon help for all Postilion menus and widgets.</li>
<li>Added Startup options such as which windows to open, etc.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.4a (unreleased)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Changed all icons and images from XPM or TIFF to GIF format. Time to start the application on my X-Terminal at work went from 1 minute to 3 seconds :-).</li>
<li>Changed the Quit procedure to gracefully close all child windows, and save all changes to disk before closing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.4 (unreleased)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added new menu choices and keyboard accelerators to the mailbox window to support sending unquoted as well as quoted replies. R is reply all unquoted, r is reply unquoted, Q is reply all quoted, q is reply quoted.</li>
<li>Added keyboard accelerators to the compose window similar to those above, but with Control (ie: Control-Q).</li>
<li>Added Subject: display in compose window titlebar and icontitle.</li>
<li>Added mailbox name in icontitle for mailbox windows.</li>
<li>Made compose window buttons sane with respect to above functions.</li>
<li>Messages will no longer be marked as seen until the body has been displayed, in browse mode.</li>
<li>Pressing the Page-Down keybinding (the space key, by default) while in browse mode will display the body of a message, and then return to page-down operation, until another message is selected, etc. This allows for quick skimming through a large mailbox using only the Next Message (n) or Next Unread Message (tab) and Page-Down (space) keys.</li>
<li>The Folder/Open, Message/Move and Group/Move menus have been eliminated. Try using one with several hundred mailboxes and you won't ask me why ;-) This functionality is still available via the hierarchical mailbox browsing widget (the Mailboxes window).</li>
<li>When using the Find widget in the mailbox window, the next and previous keybindings are restrained to messages matching the find criteria, allowing quick browsing through messages.</li>
<li>Changed default keybindings to match more typical applications (ie:Insert for paste).</li>
<li>Removed unused cruft left from TkRat (no disrespect intended). Removed all redundant widgets (such as New/Edit vfolders and Alias editor)</li>
<li>Changed default behaviour to <em>not</em> delete the actual imap folders when deleting an imap mailbox.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.3 (unreleased)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added true multi-window support. Multiple mailboxes can be open simulaneously, as can multiple compose sessions.</li>
<li>Added NeXT style application menu. Menu reflects current context (ie: if a compose window is active, editing features are available.) All menus have been removed from individual windows. This feature really requires that the user use Click-to-focus mode, as focus follows mouse can make it hard to use the menus (they wont stay in the state you want).</li>
<li>Added menu choice, and accelerator key for the copy operation in a compose window.</li>
<li>Fixed nagging bug with the sash widget in the mailbox window.</li>
<li>Fixed the bug where the INBOX wouldn't show up in mailbox lists</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.2 (unreleased)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Per mailbox settings for the following features:</li>
<ul>
<li>Folder sort order</li>
<li>Message list format</li>
<li>Selected message on startup</li>
<li>From address</li>
<li>Reply to address</li>
<li>Signature file</li>
<li>Save to folder (Fcc:)</li>
</ul>
<li>A new clock/calendar widget in the mailbox browser window which shows the time and date which the message was sent (stolen shamelessly from asclock).</li>
<li>Added a new setting to determine whether to advance after flagging a message in the message list.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.1</h3>
<ul>
<li>Numerous bug fixes. I've forgotton just which ones, but at this point I'm not aware of any bugs. Anyone using any version of Postilion/WMRat should definately upgrade to this release</li>
<li>Added new FCC style dynamic folders, with store by date sent or recipient. Note: At this time it is not possible to move messages into date sorted dynamic folders. Hopefully this will change.</li>
<li>Added new preferences setting to control new dynamic folders</li>
<li>Added new mode selection for text or icon buttons. Text mode is much faster to load on low horsepower systems.</li>
<li>Double clicking on a mailbox in the mailbox widget will now open that mailbox in the main window.</li>
<li>New configure script to fix problems with using TkStep.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Postilion 0.8.0a (first version with Postilion name, roughly equivalent to TkRat 1.0.5)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Inline support for MIME type text/html messages, thanks to Federico Di Gregorio <fog@perosa.alpcom.it> for prodding me to do this, and to Stephen Uhler (stephen.uhler@sun.com) whose html library I have incorporated.</li>
<li>TkStep8.0 support; thanks to Steve Murray <stevem@eng.uts.edu.au> and Oliver Graf for doing the wonderful port of Tk, and to Steve for giving me advanced warning of it.</li>
<li> All windows either have their own icons for miniwindows, or do not allow miniturization. Thanks to Rodrigo <rodas@geocities.com> for this suggestion, and to Marco van Hylckama Vlieg <fatal@pc23-c801.uibk.ac.at> for slaving away at producing proper icons for this purpose. These new icons are not currently included.</li>
<li> Several bug fixes; Thanks to all of you who have had problems :-) And also to Martin Frossen of TkRat fame, who has been killing bugs just slightly faster than he's been producing them.</li>
<li>Implemented the new</a> <a href="mboxwidg.gif">mailbox control window</a>, getting rid of all of the assorted mailbox menu items (such as message/move, group/move and admin/new-edit mailboxes)</li>
<li>Rearranged the browser and compose windows to move the reply and forward buttons onto the compose screen. The "Reply to Sender" and "Reply to All" buttons have been combined.</li>
<li>Added Ispell spell checking to the compose window; thanks to George Farris <george@ve7frg.gmsys.com> for prodding me to do this, and to Paul Raines (raines@slac.stanford.edu), from whose TkMail package I have shamelessly stolen the TkIspell module.</li>
<li>Below is the pertinent sections from the changes file from TkRat 1.0.5. All of these changes have been incorporated into Postilion-0.8.0a:

some people have with it turning into no size.
971019: (bug fix) Can now read the bad vfolderdef files which one
version generated.
971019: (bug fix) You could initiate a drag from an empty subfolder
in the New/Edit vfolder window. This gave tcl errors.

did PGP checking was checking the wrong option (lookup_name) to

deleted a compose window with the window manager.

971001: (bug fix) Misc code cleanups which should reduce number of warnings
and errors on 64bit systems.

now controlled by identical set of preferences and you can also
set infinite caching (by setting teh timeout to zero).
970824: (bug fix) At last! An old bug which made saving copies of outgoing

servers fail is at last fixed. Big thanks goes to Greg Owen

bodies are not shown by default. This mode is selecatble via a

if your tk is older than 8.0. These versions had a bug which
made this not work anyway. You get a warning instead.

teh list of messages. Had to convert the list of messages to a text
widget to be able to acomplish this.

button to make it easier to report tcl bugs.
970803: (feature) Rewrote the alis window from scratch. Many enhancements

970719: (bug fix) The menu shortcuts <Alt-?> should no longer also invoke
any other bindings.

<li>(bug fix) TkRat included the wrong part of some multipart messages when you were replying to messages from the Database or contained messages.</li>
<li>(bug fix) Fixed dependecies in lib/Makefile.in.</li>
<li>(bug fix) Fixed a stupid bug in the database code. Sometimes the database did not see the last messages in the folder. The index information for these messages could get lost (but the messages are still in the database and willshow up as LostMessages when you check the database).</li>
<li>(bug fix) You got an error from the compose window if you had deleted the default save folder.</li>
<li>(bug fix) Garbage was attached to message when they were saved to IMAP folders while sending.</li>

</ul>
<h3>1.0.2L.b6</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added support for inline display of attached XPMs (image/pixmap) and TIFFs (image/tiff)</li>
<li>Added support for automagic setting of mime type image/pixmap for attached XPM files and image/tiff for attached TIFF files.</li>
<li>Fixed a mistake on the window sash between the message list and the message text. I had thought that only the dimple should act as the handle for moving this bar, I was wrong.</li>
<li>Fixed the width of the window sash, it had gotten too fat after the rewrite.</li>
<li>Added option(DND) which if set to false in ~/.ratatosk/ratatoskrc (ie set option(DND) false) will disable DND support for people who are unable to get DND to work on their systems.</li>

<li>All images are loaded at startup time. This slows down the initial startup of the program, but opening of the compose window will be much faster. (This is mainly a problem on slower systems)</li>
<li>Miscellanious bug fixes...</li>
</ul>
<h3>1.0.2L.b5</h3>
<ul>
<li>WindowMaker dock support now works.</li>
<li>The window paning control for the main browser has been
completely rewritten and is much smoother now.</li>

error handling is greatly improved.</li>
<li>Postilion will now manage it's own iconwindow, thereby ignoring the
app_options setting, but allowing for...</li>
<li><em>Drag-N-Drop mailing!</em> Using the Offix DND protocol, Postilion will allow you to drop a file onto its iconwindow, which will bring up a compose window with the file already attached.</li>
<li><em>Drag-N-Drop composing!</em> Using the Offix DND protocol, you can drop multiple files into the compose window, where they will be added as attachments to the current message. Postilion will automagically guess what type of attachment it should be.</li>
<li>Don't worry, the old "attach" button is still there for manual attachments, or peculiar attachment types or encodings.</li>
<li>Compose window close operation has been made sane.</li>
