= BarnOwl 1.6 release notes =

{{{
The BarnOwl Developers are pleased to announce the release of BarnOwl
version 1.6.

It has been installed in the Athena locker, and you can download it
from the website [1] or get the source from Github [2]. BarnOwl 1.6
contains various bug fixes and new features, including:

* BarnOwl's zcrypt implementation now supports AES encryption using
  GPG.

  Please see http://barnowl.mit.edu/wiki/zcrypt for documentation
  about how to use this feature.

* The 'narrow-related' variable has been added, which controls whether
  M-n and related commands include zephyr unclasses and instances when
  narrowing.

  Please note that by default, this feature changes the name of
  auto-generated filters; If 'narrow-related' is set, BarnOwl will
  generate filters of the form 'related-class-barnowl' to include '-c
  unbarnowl' and so on.

* When you are typing a command line, M-h will pop up help for the
  command being entered, while leaving your command line for you to
  return to once you're done reading help.

* The 'typewindelta' variable now only takes effect once you open an
  actual multiline text-entry area, not just when you open the command
  line.

* Many commands like :source that accept paths now do tab-completion.

The full Changelog is available online [3].

Thank you for using BarnOwl, and we hope you enjoy the new release. As
usual, any bug reports, questions, or feature requests can be directed
to the developers at <barnowl@mit.edu>.
