| | 4 | The BarnOwl Developers are pleased to announce the release of BarnOwl |
| | 5 | version 1.7. In addition to new features, it contains security fixes |
| | 6 | on top of BarnOwl 1.6. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | It has been installed in the Athena locker, and you can download it |
| | 9 | from the website [1] or get the source from Github [2]. BarnOwl 1.7 |
| | 10 | contains various bug fixes and new features, including: |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | * Several quoting bugs in filter generation have been fixed, which |
| | 13 | allowed a message to crash BarnOwl or call an arbitrary perl |
| | 14 | function when narrowed. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | * The Twitter module has been merged in. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | * :unsub should no longer fail when .zephyr.subs is a symlink, thanks |
| | 19 | to new developer Jason Gross. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | * The editwin now supports soft line-wrapping. edit:maxwrapcols and |
| | 22 | edit:maxfillcols no longer forcibly take the width of the screen |
| | 23 | into account. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | * BarnOwl now has an ncurses-based windowing system to replace our old |
| | 26 | ad-hoc code. As a result, the popwin should now resize appropriately |
| | 27 | when your terminal does. Resizes should also flicker less on slow |
| | 28 | terminals. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | * When displaying keymaps, :show now displays ancestor keymaps as well. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | * Tabs in incoming messages display better. |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | * It is now possible to search in popless windows. Default keybindings |
| | 35 | should configure /, ?, n, and N to act similarly to less. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | * There is now a built-in random_zephyr_signature function. Set |
| | 38 | zsigfunc to BarnOwl::random_zephyr_signature and place your zsigs in |
| | 39 | ~/.zsigs. |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | The full Changelog is available online [3]. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | Thank you for using BarnOwl, and we hope you enjoy the new release. As |
| | 44 | usual, any bug reports, questions, or feature requests can be directed |
| | 45 | to the developers at <barnowl@mit.edu>. |
