[Basilix-users] [ANNOUNCE] BasiliX-1.1.1 released

[Mike P. <ba...@ic...>]

***********************************************************
**************  BasiliX-1.1.1 Released  **************
***********************************************************

Firstly, apologies that this has taken so long, especially as it is mainly only a maintainance release. Due to circumstances beyond my control I was left without internet access for the last 2 weeks. Anyway here it is. 

This release fixes a few bugs in the message search and some attatchment and security related fixes submitted by Christofer Algotsson as well as some cosmetic changes. From docs/NEWS:

	- Find Message enhancements
	- Option to hide available domains
	- Cancel message compose
	- Improvements to internationalisation
	- Several languages added
	- Many bug and security fixes.
	- Administrative changes.

For a full list of changes in this release please see the new CHANGELOG file in the source root directory.

The main reason for this release is that I wish to make a push for BasiliX-1.2.0 (or even 2.0.0. Thoughts?) and in order to do that there need to be major changes made  in the back end which will inevetibly result in temporary breakage in some components. I wanted to get a stable release out before this happens.

The features I will be pushing for in 1.2.0 include:

* registered_global off support, this will be the cause of most of the initial breakage along with....
* more secure, modular session handling (will allow easier integration with other applications/modules).
* an API to support addition of *optional* modules and 3rd party application integration (the last thing I want to do is bloat the BasiliX core but I'd like to see the possibility of integration with other apps or modules)
* Improved search capabilities.
* Filters.
* Improved address book functionality including import/export between other mail programs
* and more.....

Suggestions and comments are, as ever, welcome.

Enjoy,
