--- v0.3 development series --- - New keyboard shortcut: hold "shift" while clicking the "open thread in new tab" button (either in the main toolbar, the message header toolbar or the conversation toolbar) to display the conversation full-screen (without the message list). - Deleting a conversation using the conversation toolbar now also deletes messages that aren't in the current folder. - Revamp printing. Messages now flow properly accross pages (warning: no HTML message printing). - New keyboard shortcut: h to hide a given message (before printing a whole conversation, for instance). - More visual improvements. - Added a keyboard navigation mode. Use tab to jump from the message list to the individual messages in the conversation. Use the O key to open/close a given message. Use tab/shift-tab to move to next/previous message in the conversation. Use backspace to move back to the conversation view. - Added an "icons-only" mode for the buttons in the conversation view. This should make it easier for narrow screens to properly display the conversation title. Added native icons on Linux, Mac and Windows. - Added a "back" button to easily switch back to the single message view that was displayed before the conversation. - Dropped large parts of the code, in order to simplify maintenance. plain/text messages are now displayed using the standard Thunderbird display code. This means they will use the default font, they will have standard
s around quotations instead of >s. - Dropped support for "use HTML for viewing messages whenever possible". The extension now follows the Thunderbird global policy: select View > Message Body As > [whatever you want] to achieve the same effect. GMail Conversation View 0.3beta2 -------------------------------- - Various bugfixes from Justin Hileman: Makefile fixes, monospaced text wrapping... - Visual refresh of the conversation view, many thanks to Justin Hileman. - Fix the Makefile to be compatible with older versions of zip. - Be compatible to some degree with options mail.correct_threading and mail.strict_threading (the "open in new tab" feature won't work though). - Add an option to display message snippets using a monospaced font. - Fix issues with the options dialog size on Mac. - Display proper icons in the "Customize palette" dialogs. - There is now an indication for messages that are drafts. GMail Conversation View 0.3beta1 -------------------------------- - Fix packaging bug. All development builds between 03/01 and 03/07 won't work. - Fix the visual appearance of the button in the mail header toolbar. - Fix a bug where error messages would remain stuck on the screen. - Added an option (disabled by default) to mark the whole thread as read when the conversation view is loaded. - The extension now uses a jar file for better performance. - Revamped options dialog (much better). - The extension's icon is now visible in Thunderbird 3.0.x (only in 3.1 before) GMail Conversation View 0.3alpha3 --------------------------------- - Make the extension still work when the "Global search and indexer" is disabled. You won't get all the features but it should improve your experience anyway. - Added more meaningful error messages. - Warn people when "Global search and indexer" is disabled (this prevents the extension from working). GMail Conversation View 0.3alpha2 --------------------------------- - Conversations are now automatically pulled by default (this can be disabled in the options dialog). This means that if you reply to someone's message, although there is no thread in your inbox, the conversation view will appear whenever you select that message. This adds some extra stress on Thunderbird so this can be disabled in the add-on's options. - Added links to reply (and other actions) to an email in the conversation directly (it's not necessary to open the message first anymore). You can hold shift while clicking the links, it will work as expected. - Added support for viewing messages as HTML (now enabled by default). Many rounds of improvement. This should be perfectly usable now modulo bug 540911. - Added folding support for HTML emails, added some heuristics to detect more types of quotes than Thunderbird does by default (Hotmail-style, Outlook-style, "----- Original message -----"-style...). Please report any false positives. - Many improvements to the way HTML messages are displayed: JS, displaying images now follow the global content policy, inline images are properly displayed, HTML is sanitized, and many more... - Added a small button that allows you to toggle between monospaced and regular font for viewing plain/text messages. Useful for Bugzilla emails for instance. - Added an option to reverse the order of messages (last -> first) - Fixes a bug where a thread would be incorrectly summarized as more than one conversation. This is actually a bug in Thunderbird, see bug 538750. - Fixed a bug that would render tab characters incorrectly in plain/text messages with fixed-width fonts. - Fixed a nasty bug where dates were displayed using a wrong character set. - "Mark all read" now also marks your own messages as read. The menuitem was sometimes incorrectly grayed out. This is now fixed. - Improve the look of printed messages (many more improvements). GMail Conversation View 0.3alpha1 --------------------------------- - Added a small paperclip icon next to messages that have "real" attachments (a "false" attachment is an attachment you can display in the conversation view such as texts, forwarded emails, old emails, etc.) - Added a context-menu to the multi message view, that allows you to *print* conversations. There's an associated "print style". Other various actions are available through the context menu. - Added extra buttons (+ preferences) when viewing a conversation : unfold all, fold all, mark all read, open in new tab. There buttons only appear if viewing a conversation, not a summary of messages scattered accross different threads. - Added an option that allows you to focus the first unread message when viewing a conversation (if all messages are read, focuses to the last message). This should be working perfectly now. - Fixed a bug when the add-on failed to retrieve certain messages and displays "..." instead of the message's text. - Fix some performance issues (optimize array accesses, remove jQuery animations as it would considerably slow down unfolding of long emails). - For GMail accounts, since the same message is in multiple folders, useless changes of folders were performed when trying to display a specific message by clicking on the sender's name. This is now fixed. - For GMail accounts, clicking on a message *you* had sent would take you to the "Archives" folder. This is now fixed and sends you to the "Sent" folder. - Fixed some inconsistencies for GMail, such as: in the folder corresponding to a label, the thread would select the messages in "Archives" instead of the messages in the current folder, thus sometimes creating inconsistencies regarding the read/unread status. - Localized (only en-US for now)
