IMAP Expunge Threshold, Reply Address Fix

MailNews: The expunge threshold for IMAP accounts only marking mail as deleted is now configurable through a pref (Bug 399835) and replying to a mail sent with another identity uses the correct identity now (Bug 377998).

Certificates And Exceptions

The changes made in Bug 327181 (see post Simplification And Complication) leads to a number of improvements being addressed:

Bug 398718 improved the wording of the SSL error pages, Bug 401575 enabled the user to force-accept certificates by defining exceptions, Bug 402420 brought the relevant styling for SeaMonkey and Bug 402369 further improved the wording for exceptions. Then, Bug 399696 introduced temporary (session-only) exceptions and Bug 402726 finally allowed to view certificates on SSL error pages.

However, defining exceptions from SSL error pages does not yet work in SeaMonkey. Before that can be addressed, Bug 403800 needs to fixed first.

There's also some discussion whether SSL error pages for domain mismatches should link to the correct site (Bug 402210) and whether the Add Exception dialog should pre-fetch the certificate and/or pre-populate the URL field (Bug 402207, already has approval [update: checked in]).

More Regressions Fixed

MailNews: Compose windows appearing from the -compose command line switch are resizable again (Bug 398904)

General: PalmSync is being built again (Bug 322568)

Drag Feedback And MailNews Fixes

MailNews: Clicking a column header no longer switches threading off (Bug 397928) and opening a message in an existing window correctly refreshes the view now (Bug 173228)

General: Drag feedback for text and images (like browser tabs or messages from the MailNews list) has been available for Mac and UNIX/Linux since March (Bug 178513) and is now also available on Windows (Bug 374593). Previously, such items were represented by a simple small rectangle near the mouse cursor. On GTK platforms such as Linux, the drag feedback is still opaque, though (Bug 376238).

Regressions Fixed, AUS Idle Timer

Compiling: You can link against a local Cairo library again (Bug 368844) and DBUS is activated by default on Linux/UNIX now (Bug 388743), changing the available configure option switch from "--enable-dbus" to "--disable-dbus".

MailNews: The news://host/mid newsgroup post URI scheme is working again (Bug 404389).

General: The software update (AUS) dialog appears only after a idle timeout now (Bug 323041).

Info Bars, Source L10n and More

MailNews: Bug 401947 added a status bar to MailNews view source (this fix will also be part of SM 1.1.7), Bug 397498 introduced a shutdown task manager backend for MailNews (not yet used) and now that Bug 368325 is fixed, a password prompt for an encrypted mail no longer leads to a crash.

Browser: Normal text zoom (as opposed to the recently added full-page zoom) has been reinstated (Bug 401214) and Page Info displays the page rendering mode ("quirks" vs. standards compliant) again (Bug 386361).

Info bars: Bug 270443 brought Firefox's info bars to SeaMonkey and thanks to the fix for Bug 393108, those are used now when an add-on installation is blocked.

Add-on Manager: The "Install Now" button has been removed (Bug 342806) and the list of installed plugins is now updated when a plugin has been installed (Bug 391625).

Finally, Robert Kaiser announced that "Source L10n" is now available for SeaMonkey trunk (see his blog entry). The first set of locales contained in CVS (in addition to en) include, in order of appearance: de, sk, cs, nl, fr and ru. There is no discrimination between countries anymore (like de-AT vs. de-DE). In addition to the broken preferences window (Bug 394522), the download and password manager are not functional in those builds yet, as is the Windows system integration.
