Version 1.0.0 (2014-06-28):

  • Mailnag is desktop-independent now (was GNOME3-only)
  • Added plugin system to allow easy extensibility
  • Cut down the core daemon functionality to mail checking only and moved everything else to plugins
  • Released GNOME 3/Ubuntu Unity extension/plugin for a tighter desktop integration
  • Added account assistants for popular email providers like Gmail
  • Added DBUS service (for remote control/integration in other apps)
  • Redesigned and simplified config UI
  • Added propper logging (log messages are sent to stdout and the system log now)
  • Heavy code cleanup & refactoring
  • Reduced disk write access, other performance improvements
  • Fixes for various major and minor bugs
  • New icon by Reda Lazri

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The fileformat of the config file has changed.
It's highly recommended to rename/backup your
current config file (~/.config/mailnag/mailnag.cfg).

Version 0.5.2 (2013-01-06):

  • Fixed path of the autstart file
  • Minor other fixes

Version 0.5.1 (2012-12-23):

  • Restored translated strings (previously available in mailnag <= 0.4.3)
    that were removed due to a bug in the gen_po_template script
  • Fixed a race condition that can lead to mutliple mailnag instances

Version 0.5.0 (2012-12-05):

  • Bugfix: (really) don't crash on session start if the notification DBUS interface isn't available yet
  • Migrated to the new keyring gir binding
  • Removed evolution account import (not working anymore)
  • Minor other fixes
  • Updated translations

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Packagers should incorporate the new dependecy list.
  • The new keyring binding stores credentials in ~/.local/share/keyrings instead of in ~/.gnome2/keyrings.
    So you probably have to fire up mailnag_config and re-enter your mail account password(s).
