Greetings, We are hereby pleased to announce the availability of PowerMail 4.2 beta 8/final candidate 4, which can be directly downloaded from: ============================================= <http://www.powermailtech.com/pm4.2b8fc4.sit> =============================================
This release is NOT public; it is exclusively aimed at members of the PowerMail-discuss and PowerMail-testing lists, as well as to folks who kindly tested b1 and reported items that we may have fixed below: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What's new in the PowerMail 4.2b8/final candidate 4 (from version 4.2b6) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - The preferences for indexing are now functional, and we ask that you test PowerMail with indexing DISABLED as well as enabled. (The ability to disable indexing is especially useful in tight memory conditions on Mac OS 9-8) - Updated the command-key shortcuts for mark read/unread and show simple header; this way, Mac OS X's Hide Others command key now works again in PowerMail - Added a command-key shortcut for view unread - Fixed a memory allocation problem as well as another leak in a search buffer - Fixed Mac OS 8.6 compatibility for good - there was a crash when displaying search results - PowerMail no longer imports contacts from the Apple address book which contain no e-mail addresses - Increased the default memory allocation under Mac OS 9-8 - PowerMail no longer requires Mac OS X spell-checking to be fully initialized and therefore can be auto-launched on startup by Mac OS X login items - If a database was used by a prior beta version, we recalculate message count for folders on first use in order to ensure that prior negative values are cleared. Known limitations: This release is not packaged as a disk image but simply as a Stuffit archive - Command-F should select the search field (when the search window was already opened in background) - The final version will also have other localized languages * * * * * * * Please discuss your findings either: - on the PowerMail discussion list - using the "Send a message to PowerMail support" option in the Help menu of registered versions - if needed, by private post to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Possible crash logs - with a description of the situations that might have lead to them, are also of interest. Thanks in advance, and kind regards, The PowerMail development team
