04/11/08 21:32 Filed in: Odysseus
We’re pleased to announce the release of Odysseus
1.0 Beta 7!
This build continues to improve on existing features, while adding a couple of critical ones...
Email Download
- Added progress download when downloading email with attachments
- Improved compatibility with POP3 servers
- Odysseus no longer hangs when downloading attachments
Email Import
- Improved speed when importing Eudora email in tandem with large Attachment folder
Encoding
- Fixed crash when encountering malformed/improperly encoded HTML email
- Improved Unicode support
Address Book
- Added ability to import multiple Nickname files
- Added Apple Address Book autofill
Message Viewing
- Corrected Date sort for Search results
- Message Window remembers size and location
- Added message title to Message Window
- Added Unified Preview option (similar to implementation in Classic)
- Fixed issue where fonts weren’t properly updated when opening new Classic windows
Message Composition
- Improved formatting of message replies
- Moved insertion point for Replies, Signatures, and Stationery
- Fixed issues that could cause HTML emails to not display correctly
Misc Fixes
- Fixed a number of issues that could cause crashes
What’s left? For the remainder of this week, we will be focusing on Filters, IMAP, and Windows Interface, leading up to 1.0 next week. If you don’t see a favorite feature in Odysseus as it stands right now... don’t be discouraged. We will be continuing to implement the remaining features in subsequent releases. Our goal right now is simply to get 1.0 out the door with the most commonly used features, with the remaining to follow shortly thereafter.
We want to especially emphasize the amount of work that will be going into the Windows version over the next few days. While both version share feature parity already, the Windows version needs considerable work in the Interface Department. We’ve already started, and will continue, so that by next week both versions will have not only feature parity, but interface parity as well.
