Discussed and ok'd in thread starting at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2009/06/30/msg003546.html
* A "consider new mail as read" action has been added.
* An optional message count has been added over the icon.
* A "Play a sound when new mail arrives" option has been added.
* Passwords are now stored using GNOME Keyring.
* Gmail label support has been added.
* Yahoo! Mail support has been added.
* Windows Live Hotmail support has been added.
* A number of minor issues have been fixed.
* And more, see the NEWS file.
* Core changes:
* The mail summary popup has been replaced by
libnotify message popups. These new message popups
also provide actions such as "Open" and "Mark as Spam"
* Mozilla products (Mozilla, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, ...)
mailboxes are now supported
* The mailbox properties dialog has been redesigned
* A new click action has been added: open the latest
message
* A MN icon set has been designed by Josef Vybíral
(#18198)
* A --print-summary command line argument has been
added, allowing to access message data from an
external program
* A mail-changed GConf command setting has been added
(it is executed when new mail is received or when a
message is read)
* Handling of the GNOME mail reader command: instead
of stripping %s, the first word of the command is
now used; moreover, mozilla and evolution are now
handled specially (#18257)
* The /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/needs_terminal
GConf key is now respected
* Could no longer close the about dialog with recent
GTK+ versions: fixed (#18252)
* POP3 changes:
* Messages kept on the server but marked as read are
now discarded. Note that this only works with
servers which send Status headers; most don't
(#18164).
notable pkgsrc-relevant changes:
* Since support for non-system sound events has been removed from
GNOME 2.14, the mail-notification.soundlist file is no longer
installed
* desktop file forced to share/applications from etc/xdg/autostart
(see below)
Other changes:
[various translations updated]
* Evolution changes:
* Evolution crashed when a message without Subject or
From header was received: fixed
* Mail Notification could crash when removing an
Evolution mailbox: fixed
* Core changes:
* An alternate, compact mail summary has been added
* A "Display seen messages" option has been added
* The status icon can now be displayed permanently
* The "Delay between mail checks" option is now
mailbox-specific
* The properties dialog has been reorganized
* The main window has been removed
* The status icon is now activated with a single click
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148829)
* The GTK+ bugs
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321886)
which caused occasional crashes have been worked
around
* If the MAIL environment variable is not defined or
invalid, the system mailbox is now looked up in
/var/spool/mail/username and /var/mail/username
(based on a patch from Benoît Rouits)
* Since ~/.gnome2/mail-notification/mailboxes.xml may
contain sensitive information, it is now saved with
permissions set to 0600 (useful for systems where
home directories have lax permissions)
* The "cannot enable immediate notification" error
dialog has been removed
* The --list-features command line option has been
removed (feature information is now displayed in the
output of the --version option)
* The message handling performance has been improved
* If there are no mailboxes on startup, the properties
dialog is now displayed
* The "Start Mail Notification on GNOME login" option
no longer worked with GNOME >= 2.14 and has been
removed: a .desktop file is now installed in the xdg
autostart directory instead
* The mail reader setting has been removed; the mail
reader configured in GNOME (Desktop -> Preferences
-> Preferred Applications) will now be used
* The tooltip width is now limited to the screen width
* When coupled with a patched GNOME Panel (as shipped
by FreeBSD and Debian, for instance), the status
icon now supports panel transparency (patch
forwarded by Bernat Tallaferro)
* mbox, Maildir, POP3, IMAP, Evolution and Sylpheed changes:
* Messages are now classified as unseen and seen; seen
messages can be ignored by unchecking the "Display
seen mail" option
* mbox changes:
* Compressed mailboxes (gzip and bzip2) are now
handled transparently, and support immediate
notification
* POP3, IMAP and Gmail changes:
* A regression which allowed mail checks to overlap
has been fixed
* POP3 and IMAP changes:
* If the server advertises the STLS/STARTTLS
capability but replies ERR/BAD when the
STLS/STARTTLS command is issued, Mail Notification
now logs out instead of proceeding
* If multiple mailboxes have the same type, hostname,
port, connection type and username, Mail
Notification will now detect that the mailboxes
share the same account and will only prompt for the
password once per session (when the password is not
entered in the properties dialog, that is)
* POP3 changes:
* Non-UTF-8 server responses are now accepted
* IMAP changes:
* Non-ASCII server responses are now accepted (these
responses violate RFC 3501, but we follow the RFC
793 robustness principle "be liberal in what you
accept"); fixes connection problems with
internationalized Exchange servers, which violate
RFC 3501 by sending non-ASCII characters in their
greeting message
* Empty continuation responses are now allowed (fixes
authentication with some SASL mechanisms)
* Play nice with uncompliant servers by using
BODY.PEEK rather than BODY, so that they do not set
the \Seen flag (patch from Jacob Berkman)
* The IDLE mode is now cycled every 29 minutes, as
advised by RFC 2177
* Evolution changes:
* Support for the Evolution 2.4 and 2.6 branches has
been added; untested support for the Evolution
2.7/2.8 branch has been added; the Evolution source
tree is no longer needed for Evolution >= 2.4
* Sylpheed changes:
* With the help of a Sylpheed patch, Mail Notification
can now reliably avoid race conditions which could
occur when Sylpheed was running (see the
--enable-sylpheed-locking discussion in the INSTALL
file)
* New translations:
* Czech (Pav Lucistnik)
* Brazilian Portuguese (Claudio André)
* Dutch (Marcel J. Zwiebel)
* Japanese (Hiroshi Hasebe)
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
