All about this release
======================
This NaSMail release adds SASL PLAIN support to IMAP and SMTP authentication
functions. It also includes optimizations in IMAP EXPUNGE commands and UIDPLUS
support.
Release includes small fixes in do_hook_function(). It fixes possible issues
in setups with forced_prefs and mobi plugins.
This NaSMail release adds lots of updates in RBL filtering options. Option
names are not compatible with older filters plugin versions. If older spam
options are detected, they will be migrated to 1.5+ format and deleted.
See list of other changes in ChangeLog.
Locales / Translations / Charsets
=================================
The translations for NaSMail are not part of the main package and must be
downloaded separately. You can find these packages through our homepage. They
also contain instructions on how to install.
Lightweight version of extra decoding library is included in core package. You
don't have to install extra decoding library scripts, if your PHP installation
supports recode or iconv.
Security Issues
===============
This NaSMail package includes updates in HTML email sanitizing. These updates
prevent some interface abuse with CSS issues.
Major updates
=============
* Added SASL PLAIN support.
* Applied font family and size to form inputs, buttons and selection boxes
with CSS.
* Undelete button is moved from Expunge to Delete group.
* Improved support of text browsers.
* Added custom session handler support.
* Two plugins to be attached to do_hook_function hooks.
* Fixed width of login form fields in IE6.
* hex string is used instead of ipv4/ipv6 addresses in Message-ID header.
* Improved html filtering.
* Added UIDPLUS support.
A note on plugins
=================
There have been major plugin architecture updates in NaSMail. Plugins designed
for SquirrelMail 1.4.8 might work in NaSMail with some quirks. If plugins use
functions introduced in SquirrelMail 1.4.10 or depend on quirks of 1.4.10
session functions, they will be broken. Plugins must be updated to use new
internationalization code. If plugins use older option hooks, they must be
updated to use option widgets.
If plugins use HTTP Location: redirects, JavaScript or user's password, they
might need updates to work in NaSMail 1.2+ cookieless mode correctly. If
interface is used in standard mode with cookies, outdated plugins should work
without problems.
If plugins are linked to message display (src/read_body.php), they might need
updates to support NaSMail 1.4+ NSM_LAYOUT_PREVIEW mode correctly.
You can find more information about compatibility between NaSMail and plugin
versions at http://www.nasmail.org/docs/compatibility.shtml.
Reporting NaSMail bugs
======================
We constantly aim to make NaSMail even better. So we need you to submit any bug
you come across! Also, please mention that the bug is in this release, and list
your IMAP server and webserver details.
https://gna.org/bugs/?group=nasmail
Thanks for your cooperation with this. That helps us to make sure 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 development code already.
Any questions about installing or using NaSMail can be directed to our user
support list:
