PEGASUS MAIL FOR WINDOWS
VERSION 4.5

 

25-May-08:

Changes in beta 15: This build includes a new transcript generation option (on the "Special" page of the message editor). This function requires Mercury/32 and will add an "X-Transcript-to:" header to the outgoing message. There is now automatic size and placement memory for the message editor window. The "Save window size" option on the menu has been removed. There are some changes to the way the help works: when you invoke help, it now attempts to open the "Contents" list to an appropriate point, either by expanding the list in such a way that the topic itself is selected, or if the topic is not present in the contents list, so that the most relevant topic group is selected.

Recent changes in the program There is now a function to reindex addressbooks: * If the index file is simply absent, the program will automatically reindex the addressbook when it attempts to open it. * The "Book..." button menu now has a "Reindex addressbook" command that will unilaterally rebuild the index. Because the index only ever holds a snapshot of the data stored in the master record, reindexing is a completely safe operation. These two actions will deal with the majority of cases where people have problems with addressbook indexes becoming damaged.

Some things did change during the process of moving the codebase to Visual C++ and beta testing after that move: A completely redesigned help system had to be made because Microsoft has stopped supporting the hlp help system on Vista. The "Reply" button has become a button with an option selector (a little down-pointing arrow at the right-hand side). If you click in the option selector (it changes to green to indicate that a click will activate it), you'll get a context menu that allows you to select from "Reply with options", "Quick reply using last settings", "Reply-to-all using last settings", and "Reply using a template'. There are also three more menu options that allow you to set the default behaviour of a normal button click (so, you can have the default behaviour of a click be any of the three basic reply options). For keystroke accelerators, You can select a conventional reply-with-options by pressing 'R', a quick reply by pressing 'Q', and a reply-to-all by pressing 'A'. The subject line is now checked by the Spellchecker. In some cases the address in the default identity would not be removed when using reply-to-all. Fixed now. The Ctrl+ and Ctrl- functions to resize column widths are now remapped to Ctrl+Shift + and Ctrl+Shift - Ctrl+ and Ctrl- (numerical keypad) are now used to move to next/prev unread message in the folder. Links with a dot in the url could cause crashes, fixed. There was a serious memory leak when using a specific group-view in folders. Fixed

From Jul-06 till Dec-07:

Pegasus Mail has been made ready for compiling using newer tools, nothing is visible at the surface. When you are interested in some of the problems, just read David's blog on the community site.

28-Jul-06:

The pop-up parser error information window, which is much more frequently shown in version 4.4.1. is replaced by an entry in the System Messages debug window. So it will no longer interrupt downloading mail.
