Manual
------
* A new and completely rewritten manual has been added.
It is accessible using your browser by clicking '/Help/Manual' on
the main toolbar.
Icon legend
-----------
* An icon legend window has been added to the Help menu, accessible
by clicking '/Help/Icon legend' on the main toolbar.
Priting
-------
* Attached images can now be printed along with the message when using
the optional libgnomeprintui support.
Command line usage
------------------
* '--exit' has been added.
* '--subscribe' has been added.
Calling sylpheed-claws --subscribe '%s' will ask the loaded plugins
if they can handle the type of URL passed as a parameter. Thus, if
using the RSSyl or vCalendar plugins, for example, the user will be
able to subscribe RSS feeds or Webcals from the browser.
* sylpheed-claws email@domain.com is now equivalent to --compose
* sylpheed-claws proto://blah.com is equivalent to --subscribe
GUI improvements
----------------
* HIG compliant button order has been implemented.
* Several dialogues throughout have been improved.
Main Toolbar
------------
* Text can now also been displayed next to the icons.
* Quick mail retrieval from any account is now possible due to the
account submenu which has been added to the 'Get All' button.
Compose window
--------------

to the standard GtkTextView menu instead of replacing it.

Quick Search
------------
* In Extended mode, a '...' button has been added, this provides the
user with a dialogue enabling the quick formation of search
criteria.
* Do not refocus quick search after executing (Esc or Enter). This
enables using the '/' shortcut key, search for something, then move
up/down in the message list, and then Esc a search and be back in
the folder list.
* When quick search is activated, the entry box is given a yellow
background for greater visibility.

using '*'.
