So glad to see development being pushed out to us Beta users again.
I've noticed an inconsistency with the way messages are displayed. In the
Folder View Mode I've got Expand All Threads and Group By Date selected in
the view mode. However sometimes when I move to another folder and then back
they will not be expanded. Then at other times they will be expanded.
THanks,
Art

We are releasing the first alpha version to TBBETA list. This alpha is
still not stable or reliable as our previous alphas, so use it with
caution, you can experience bugs or even lose mail.
The Bat! 5.0.0.99 ALPHA is available at
http://www.ritlabs.com/download/files3/the_bat/a-5/tb50099.rar
What's new in 5.0.0.99 alpha since 5.0.0.98 alpha:
[-] Advanced Search was not working correctly on IMAP folders (Beta issue)
[-] IMAP search for text with non-ASCII characters was not working correctly
(Beta issue)
[*] The view mode changed exit confirmation is now not displayed when
only sorting order or column widths have changed, in this case the changes in
sorting and widths are discarded.
[*] The about box is simplified
[-] (#0008151) 5.0.0.x Alpha Two hints in Message Editor (BETA issue)
[-] Some HTML hints were improperly displayed (BETA issue)
What's new in 5.0.0.99 alpha since v4.2.36.4:
Major Changes (not a complete list yet)
===
[!] The Bat! uses Intel Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Instructions
Set to improve the speed of AES algorithm, that is used in TLS and S/MIME.
Intel AES instructions are a new set of instructions available beginning
with the all new 2010 Intel Core processor family based on the 32nm Intel
micro-architecture codename Westmere. To test whether your CPU supports the
new instruction set, run The Bat! with /AES_BENCHMARK command line
parameter, which must be the single command line parameter, and it must be
case-sensitive. It will also show the performance difference between the old
and new instructions.
[!] Instant Counters: The Bat! displays the number of messages in accounts
and folders immediately upon startup
[!] Faster startup time for multi-core processors.
[!] Increased speed of The Bat! start-up. The Bat! now performs
time-consuming startup routines (like loading of plug-ins, parsing of
interface definition files) in parallel. The performance boost is noticeable
on old single-core CPUs, because disk and processor operations now run
simultaneously. On multi-core CPUs and multiprocessor systems the boost is
even higher because processor operations are combined. Besides that, we've
done optimizations in slower parts of code by implementing fast algorithms,
which increases speed regardless of number of CPUs or cores, by 0.5 to 4
seconds, depending on processor speed.
New Features and improvements
=
[+] Alt+Drag to for rearranging groups of the address book.
[+] In address book/group tree added column to display address count
[+] The %RANDOMNUMBER macro to return a random number consisting of decimal
digits ('0'-'9'). The macro may have a parameter which specifies the value,
so the returned number will always be less than this value. The returned
number is not sticky, i.e. its behaviour is the opposite to %TRACKINGNUMBER
[+] Internal NTLM implementation is supported by POP protocol (/NTLM_INTERNAL
command-line switch)
[+] Google Contacts can be imported into Address Book
[+] Address book can be exported to Google Contacts
[+] (#0007527) Added some new CA certificates to the Trust Root CA address
book
[+] Plugin interface to access message content
[+] Plugin interface to make reply to message
[+] In S/MIME internal implementation, added support for Signing
Certificate Attribute Definition Version 2 (SigningCertificateV2)
[+] Plugin interface to access accounts, folders and messages
[+] Plugin interface to forward/redirect messages
[+] Plugin interface to copy/move/delete messages
[+] Unicode SmartPad
[+] Plugin interface to create new messages
[+] Plugin interface for working with lists of messages and mail addresses.
[+] Plugin method to get version info about host application.
[+] Plugin method to sort list of messages.
[+] Ability to register plugin notifications about current
account/folder/message changed.
[+] IMAP now closes unnecessary connections and does not open the connections
that it doesn't need
[+] IMAP now uses the UNSELECT command, if supported by the server
[+] Instant message counters at startup
[+] Support for IMAP IDLE extension
[+] Streaming ability for ITBPStringProvider and it's descendants
[+] The Inbox folder on IMAP now has priority over other folders when
updating counters
[+] When The Bat! did remove antivirus and antispam plugin as a cause of
their failure to load properly, it now preservers the configuration files,
