All about this release
======================

This version is third official NaSMail release. It introduces cookieless mode 
support, fixes some issues, cleans scripts for better performance and corrects 
string parsing in some calls. See ChangeLog for a more details.

This NaSMail version adds new configuration variables and has some performance 
optimizations in configuration file. If you use configuration file from older 
NaSMail version, rebuild it. You can do that by opening configuration utility 
and saving configuration.


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 version does not include any security fixes.

Major updates
=============

* Added cookieless mode support.
* Code cleanup.

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 need user 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interface is used in standard mode with cookies, outdated plugins should work 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.

You can find more information about compatibility between NaSMail and plugin 
versions at http://www.nasmail.org/docs/compatibility.shtml.

About Release Name
==================

"No cookie for you" release name indicates introduction of cookieless mode 
support in NaSMail.


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:
