Content Tagged with seamonkey + mailnews

The move to hg went quite smoothly (thanks to the preparatory work of KaiRo and others). Now that SeaMonkey and MailNews have their own repository shared with Thunderbird and Calendar, tracking changes is a lot easier. However, the loss of Bonsai still hurts a bit. Bug 394669 has been fixed but it still needs to be pushed live (Bug 448459). While you are waiting for that, take a look at what is possible with a bit of client-side PHP and RegEx:



Progress

• Download manager: make toolkit dlmgr buildable by suite (backend prerequisite) (Bug 440932)
• Preferences window: Composer / New Page Settings (Bug 435079), MailNews / Return Receipts (Bug 445011), MailNews / Junk Mail (Bug 445010), MailNews / Character Encoding (Bug 445012); enable using filefield elements (Bug 448106)

MailNews

• update saved search folders' unread count when deleting mail without reading it (Bug 300487)
• allow filters to move a mail after copying it (Bug 376235)
• implement highlightNonMatches in Toolkit autocomplete (to show that email address could not be found in address book) (Bug 441526)
• do not report "Mail server is not an IMAP4 mail server" if server says BYE (Bug 408861)
• filter news based on any headers [original fix had been backed out due to regressions] (Bug 16913)
• add confirmation dialog for Empty Trash (Bug 179891)
• make sure removing tags from local messages survives rebuild index (Bug 439132)
• set default for MDN confirmation dialog to No (i.e. Do Not Send) (Bug 166164)
• support IMAP RFC 4551 - CondStore extension (Bug 436151)
• do not issue IMAP fetch CHANGEDSINCE unless using CondStore (Bug 448558)
• do not remove new messages from view after changing tag (Bug 444815)
• do not clear messages and thread panes when compacting a folder other than the selected one (Bug 271988)
• turn off error pages for MailNews windows (XML Parsing Error: no element found/netError.xhtml on newsgroup message download timeout) [will probably also be fixed in SM 1.1.12] (Bug 327510)

Breakpad

• disable email field after submission (Bug 427034)

CSS

• support CSS3 'word-wrap' property (breaks long lines) (Bug 99457)
• implement CSS3 column-rule-* (Bug 271586)
• implement W3C Selectors API (querySelector and querySelectorAll) (Bug 416317)
• implement parsing of @font-face rules (Bug 441469)

Compiling

• actually support --skip-calendar in comm-central's client.py (Bug 447225)
• add configure option to l10n repositories (Bug 447619)
• change build process to generate unique BuildIDs (including minutes and seconds) (Bug 431270)

General

• use separate accesskey for "Search Web for " menu item (Bug 447833)
• save form inputs' state with Save Page As (Bug 293834)
• add Ogg Theora backend for HTML5 video element (Bug 422538)
• do not show "Content Encoding Error" page when redownloading a previously cancelled .tar.gz file (Bug 426273)
• show file:// directories containing files >= 2GB on Linux (Bug 278738)
• do not try to retrieve image when img src="" and image URI equals document URI (Bug 444931)
• utilize min-height on fieldset tag (Bug 210094)
• check for left/top start position on startup to prevent overlapping widgets like the Dock (Bug 433358)

Crashes

• do not crash and lose mails if Rebuild Index is executed while compacting folder is in progress (Bug 392015)

Progress: Customizable toolbars are getting nearer through a change of elements used to display buttons (Bug 407931) and more Preferences panes have been migrated to the new dialog (images: Bug 410950, history: Bug 411028).

Compiling: Default optimization options (for --enable-optimize) are set internally now instead of the default mozconfig file (Bug 410414). The monospaced font for MozillaBuild has been set to "Courier New" now to prevent correct display (Bug 382760).

Composer: A button image in the table properties dialog has been finally fixed (Bug 406416).

JavaScript Debugger: Watches can be opened beyond the first level now (Bug 410943).

GTK/Linux: GTK shutdown code should be a little faster now (Bug 409471), hints for Internet Explorer users will now be hidden on Linux (Bug 396105) and the size of tree view expanders has been corrected (Bug 408990).

MailNews: Some operations on a large number of messages should be faster now (Bug 410369) and wrapping information (Bug 155622), return receipts and vCard information (Bug 216479) be preserved when re-editing messages. More messages and attachments should be displayed correctly now that messages containing mixed upper/lower case (Bug 409962) or empty (Bug 155537) content types are processed accordingly. Attaching messages no longer adds an ".eml" extension that could confuse virus scanners (Bug 380354). Mail folders with special characters should be displayed correctly in the Location field of mail folder properties now (Bug 398117). Finally, the "Card For" prefix has been removed from the print view of address books (Bug 396588).

ChatZilla: ChatZilla is now built as a SeaMonkey add-on (Bug 351715). The userlist is updated correctly even when it was hidden now (Bug 411013). The new auto-away feature (Bug 382085) was optimized for providing only useful information (Bug 410974). All columns except the one containing actual messages prevent wrapping now (Bug 388155).

General: Problems with special characters in application directory path names (Bug 396052) and local file names (Bug 410610) have been fixed, search plugins should be taken care of during profile migration (Bug 386337) and JSON is supported natively now (Bug 387522).

Progress: The fix for Bug 403800 paved the way for a certificate override UI and a checkin for Bug 394522 migrated the mouse wheel preferences panel, together with support for full page zoom, the backend of which was covered in Bug 405133.

UI: Bug 386629 corrected a minor glitch with toolbar buttons and Bug 257722 brought visual feedback for autocomplete scrollbar buttons (such as in the location bar).

MailNews: Bug 132340 fixed local body search for Base64-encoded mail bodies.

General: Bug 397150 updated the English spell checking dictionaries (Aspell-based) and Bug 346994 made it that any leading dots are removed from suggested download filenames.

UNIX/Linux: Bug 379430 fixed print preview hang on X, Bug 404495 and Bug 404493 brought native GTK styles for menu checkboxes and arrows, Bug 405219 updated the version checks for system NSPR, NSS and Cairo and Bug 405561 fixed a dependency with GnomeVFS.

MailNews: Compose windows appearing from the -compose command line switch are resizable again (Bug 398904)

General: PalmSync is being built again (Bug 322568)

MailNews: Bug 401947 added a status bar to MailNews view source (this fix will also be part of SM 1.1.7), Bug 397498 introduced a shutdown task manager backend for MailNews (not yet used) and now that Bug 368325 is fixed, a password prompt for an encrypted mail no longer leads to a crash.

Browser: Normal text zoom (as opposed to the recently added full-page zoom) has been reinstated (Bug 401214) and Page Info displays the page rendering mode ("quirks" vs. standards compliant) again (Bug 386361).

Info bars: Bug 270443 brought Firefox's info bars to SeaMonkey and thanks to the fix for Bug 393108, those are used now when an add-on installation is blocked.

Add-on Manager: The "Install Now" button has been removed (Bug 342806) and the list of installed plugins is now updated when a plugin has been installed (Bug 391625).

Finally, Robert Kaiser announced that "Source L10n" is now available for SeaMonkey trunk (see his blog entry). The first set of locales contained in CVS (in addition to en) include, in order of appearance: de, sk, cs, nl, fr and ru. There is no discrimination between countries anymore (like de-AT vs. de-DE). In addition to the broken preferences window (Bug 394522), the download and password manager are not functional in those builds yet, as is the Windows system integration.

The fix for Bug 180546 adds the address of a folder (e.g. newsgroup server path) to the respective properties dialogs in MailNews.
