Ruim twee jaar geleden maakte Qualcomm bekend zijn e-mailclient Eudora aan de opensourcecommunity te doneren. Mozilla heeft het beheer over het project overgenomen en in september 2007 resulteerde dat, onder de codenaam Penelope, in de eerste bètarelease van Eudora 8. Veel gehoorde kritiek was toen dat het niet meer dan Mozilla's eigen Thunderbird-client in een Eudora-jasje was. Inmiddels is er een hoop veranderd. Het programma nu ook beschikbaar voor Linux, is het importeren van gegevens uit een oude versie van Eudora sterk verbeterd en werkt het doorsturen van e-mails weer zoals dat voorheen in Eudora werkte. Vandaag is de vijfde bètarelease van Eudora 8 uitgekomen en de release notes van deze nieuwe versie kunnen hieronder worden gevonden:
Changes in 8.0.0b5
- Includes Penelope version 0.5a2.
- Using Thunderbird 3.0b1 source code.
Mailbox window
- "Show message preview pane" setting added to Penelope pref panel. If on (which it is by default), then the preview pane is shown at its last saved position. If it's off then both the preview pane and the splitter before it are hidden.
- Fixed bug where double-clicking on a mailbox in a folder view other than "All Folders" (i.e. "Unread", "Recent", or "Favorites") would not open the mailbox.
- Added prefs for opening mailboxes/messages in tabs rather than separate windows.
- Fix for Bug 466046 - MsgOpenNewTabForMessage() broken when specifying a message
- Added middle click to open folder/message in a tab.
- Fixed bug 429440 - Preview pane must be visible for tabs to render.
- Tabs are now hidden in the Mailboxes window.
- Prevent opening windows in tabs in the Mailboxes window.
- Added mail.tabs.autoHide setting, which hides the tab if there is just one in a window (default value is true).
- Fix for Alt+click for group selection causing the menu to get the focus.
- Fixed bug where double-clicking on the scroll bar of the thread pane would cause a message to be opened in a new tab.
- Fixed Transfer menu and Transfer mailbox buttons on toolbar.
- Added shift key modifier to the Transfer menu items and toolbar buttons to do copy vs. move.
- Holding down alt/option when clicking on an open mailbox toolbar button will now do a transfer.
- Keep thread pane scrolled to same place when switching tabs and back.
Toolbars
- Fixes to Mac Customize Toolbar dialog to allow it to open multiple times.
- Added "Cancel" functionality to the Customize Toolbar dialog on the Mac.
- Added the Restore Default Set button to Windows and Linux Customize Toolbar dialog.
- The default Penelope toolbar doesn't show text on the buttons, so when restoring the toolbar to the default state set the mode to icons only.
- Fixed bug 417081 - Send Later toolbar button mapped incorrectly
Importing
- Extra settings now imported from Classic Eudora: default mail check, mail check interval, skip big messages, skip big message threshold, submission port send, and SSL send and receive.
IMAP
- Fix for Bug 369964 "subscribe to IMAP folders window doesn't allow subscribing to folders below 2nd level". Turns out Exchange doesn't like LIST commands without a trailing % on the path.
Miscellaneous
- Fixed open In/Out mailbox toolbar buttons.
- Added Babelfish language translation to the default list of Selected Text URL tools.
