SurgeWeb Change history

If you find a bug please report it to surgemail-support@netwinsite.com. Bugs that have already been reported and known major issues in full beta or production builds can be found in the list of known issues.

- New: (these changes will be enabled in new builds as soon as I have time to fully test them... ) Rewrite of the surgeweb session handling. This means sessions will survive surgemail restarts & upgrades, and long browser sleeps. Sessions should by default last up to 2 weeks if you are using surgeweb daily. Idle timeout default is 48 hours. These are both customisable.
- New: As part of the session handling changes, the session id's numbering scheme has been made "less guessable" to avoid possible abuse of this for XSS attacks (was already kind of unlikely but now is safer).
- New: As part of the session handling changes, a full record is kept of surgeweb login / logout events with SID + IP address + account information.

Fri 19 March 2010: Specials version 4.3f-3

- Fix: Multiline headers were not correctly decoded which meant that the subject line (or To / Cc headers probably too for that matter) could display non decoded text sometimes eg "=?utf-8?B?..." This does not fix any values already in the surgeweb header cache, manually reset the surgeweb cache to clear any existing bad entries.
- Fix: Fixes on the surgeweb login page and several other places to better protect against XSS attacks.

Mon 15 March 2010: Beta version 4.3e-1

- Fix: Download all can only zip up one set of messages at a time. If it cannot get it's lock in short order it was restarting surgemail now it shows a "try again soon" message to user.
- Fix: Download all was failing for 250+ attachments per message (32 bit machines) and 125+ attachments per message (64 bit machines)

Mon 8 March 2010: Specials version 4.3d-3

- Fix: (non surgeweb) The email that triggers the spam status email does not get listed in the status email (by design) but was getting purged if you pressed the "Purge" or "Spam All" links. Now it remains intact for the next time the status email gets sent.
- Fix: Labels with no ascii characters at all could result in crashes or odd behaviour. This now works for any UTF8 characters, but no attempt is made to try and correct any labels generated with previous "odd behaviour" as there is no easy way to fix these.

Mon 8 March 2010: Beta version 4.3c-1

- Fix: Several non surgeweb fixes (SMTP related crashes in 4.3a-1, DNS lookup bugs in 4.3b-3)

Sat 6 March 2010: Specials version 4.3b-3

- New: Now can rename / move whole folder trees including subfolders
- Fix: It was not possible to move sub folders "out of the folder" they were a subfolder of.
- Fix: Move folder was not fully encoding parameters which meant it did not work with folders with UTF8 characters etc in the name.

Thu 4 March 2010: Beta version 4.3a-1

- Fix: Hide the Email vCard button for now as it is not yet implemented.

Tue 2 March 2010: Specials version 4.2g-33

- New: Moved the Done folder to being a Top level folder by default (can be dropped back to "More folders" using arbitrary top level folders feature)
- New: Support for arbitrary top level folders (and the ability to drop system folders to "More folders" if desired).
- New: Improvements to the Templates folder. Rather than being obscure/hidden there is now an explanation and link to create it from the folders management page. Templates folder can be deleted, which was not possible before.
- Fix: (non surgeweb) several fixes to spam_held to friends_silent conversion code (if g_friends_default_mode was not yet set (to silent or list), friends spam score would get set to zero; accounts with no per user settings stay that way; log file generated; tellmail held2pend_email command to set spam email frequency for all users)
- Fix: Resend now keeps attachments
- Fix: It was not possible to do a forward_attach of an email with multipart related content (broken with changes a week or two back, resulted in a red javascript error when it tried to attach the email). Also tidied naming of forward_attach of messages with blank subject line.

Sat 27 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-32

- New: (non surgeweb) Tellmail command to convert accounts from spam_held to friends_silent spam quaranteening as noted in recommended spam quaranteening.
- New: Improved contacts organisation using drag and drop. Normal drag and drop still adds contacts to groups, however drag and drop between addressbooks now results in a copy of the contact information getting added to the other addressbook. This is useful for copying from shared addressbook to personal addresbook, and for editing shared addressbooks if you have edit permission. Also allows adding contact to groups in shared addressbooks using drag and drop (as has always been possible with personal contacts).
- New: Pressing Ctl+Alt on login (Ctl+Cmd on Mac) logs in without automatic message marking as read (same as ctl+alt folder selection previously already functional)
- Fix: Minor fix in formatting of login page which was being displayed oddly in IE with certain css formatting.
- Fix: Minor rewording of surgeweb spam handling related features (mostly the user.cgi dialog)
- Fix: In Chrome disabled "onbeforeunload" based warning when navigating away from email you are editing, as having these enabled seems to somehow trigger the Chrome browser bug which results in surgeweb frequently becomimg totally non responsive using Chrome. Bug noted here in google's documentation.
- Fix: Surgeweb logging related oddities when using (g_)url_alias which may _very possibly_ have been causing recent crashes.
- Fix: Fixed shift click handling when forwarding / replying to messages in tabbed mode (FF and Safari only). Notable broken behaviours: shift clicking for selection then doing message actions like forward did a popup whenit shoudl not have, shift clicking many actions that should have done a popup did not.

Tue 23 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-27

- New: When sending to multiple recipients try all before reporting failure error rather than failing on the first one. Prepend the error with the recipient address. This makes it a lot easier to find bad recipients when sending to multiple recipients or groups which may contain many addresses.
- New: Surgeweb now aplies g_bad_login* checks, and also the new g_honeypot_* checks to avoid password guessing.
- Fix: Select and sort menus were slightly messed up as a result of the language translation additions.
- Fix: (non surgeweb) Fixes so that html based status email get set out even if just using spam held. For more info see recommended spam quaranteening.
- Fix: Print screen did not explicitly have utf8 meta header. Mostly utf8 would display fine due to browser character set detection, but if there was any bad character encoding in the message it would default to ascii instead of utf8. Now will display as utf8 regardless.
- Fix: Focus stealing issue (IE only). When in popup windowing mode, under some circumstances, if reading/editing a message in a popup window, having new messages arrive would drop focus back to the main message list window. The code to center the message list on the old cursor was doing this - only under IE though. Now in this circumstance the "center on old cursor code" is disabled and focus is correctly retained in the message windows.
- Fix: The very last contact in a personal or shared addressbook could not be deleted via the "Edit" contact - "Delete" button.

Thu 18 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-23

- New: Full language translation support across "most" of the surgeweb interface as documented here. Please report to surgemail-support@netwinsite.com any phrases that are no longer displayed correctly or are incorrectly translated.
- New: Significantly speed improvements in the surgmail template parser (used by surgeweb / user.cgi / surgeplus / admin interface, but not old webmail). Template function processing and variable replacement is 2 to 3 times as fast now as it was.

Wed 17 February 2010: Release version 4.2d4-4

- Fix: (non surgeweb) Patch of current production release for crashing bug for certain oddly formatted spam messages, and have help pages correctly formatted.

Sat 13 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-19

- Fix: Further improvements to attachments handling. Attachments with really long filenames now get correctly disaplyed, and some attachment problems since the changes in build 4.2g-12 resolved (attachments with unusual formatting in headers were no longer getting displayed, and some text attachments were getting dispalyed inline instead of as attachments) .

Fri 12 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-18

- Fix: (Solaris8 64 bit only) Iconv conversion issue that notably resulted in redbox javascript warning in recent builds when going to "Options - Preferences". May well have affected other iconv usages (such as display of messages requiring character set conversion etc).

Fri 12 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-17

- New: Support full UTF8 based searching both surgeweb index based and IMAP body searches. This required some subtle changes to surgeweb indexes, and these will get recreated from imap after installing this updates (must click a folder to "display it once" before searching using surgeweb indexes).
- New: Made surgemail mbox raw message file attachments get handled the same way as attached email messages.
- Fix: Crash if really long links were encountered in messages.
- Fix: When doing a forward attach of other messages limit the filename (based on the message subject) to 40 characters.
- Fix: Tweaked the "new mail" star indicator to have lower priority than the replied / forwarded indicator.

Thu 4 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-14

- Fix: Make the mobile interface logo customisation work on the mobile interface login page as well as the actual mobile interface pages (for more info see help ).
- Fix: Domain shared addressbook caching mixup. If you used Domain addressbooks on multiple vdomains, surgeweb would try and cache these in the same file resulting that the last addressbook to be changed was getting displayed to all vdomains. (introduced 4.2e-4)
- Fix: Non surgeweb - further bug imap bug introduced in 4.2g-12, which was resulting in surgeweb any message "moved to a folder" getting dispalyed with a "new message" star indicator.

Wed 3 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-13

- Fix: Messages with long complicated javascript in the html parts were not getting correctly washed.
- Fix: Non surgeweb - two bugs introduced in yesterdays 4.2g-12 build (extra debug logging was slowing surgemail too much, and some strange imap message handling behaviours wrt read status of messages and messages "not deleting")

Tue 2 February 2010: Specials version 4.2g-12

- New: Support for messages with interleaved inline display parts. Notably some Apple devices and software send messages this way. Previously only the first text part was getting displayed and the images were getting displayed as normal attachments. Now all text parts get displayed and the images are displayed inline. Note: old attachment handling behaviour can be restored with "Preferences - advanced - Disable inline images", although this does display the additional text parts which never used to be displayed.
- New: Can now handle attached email messages from within surgeweb. Two options are presented when attached email messages are detected: 1) display the atached emails inline in the current message (allowing you to read / reply etc), or 2) store the attached emails as selfcontained messages in the current folder (allowing you to reply / file etc as appropriate).
- New: Better handling of reply / forwarding images in multipart related messages. If forwarded all multipart related content (ie generally images) gets forwarded as well (previously the images were not forwarded, and a warning to this effect was displayed to the user). When replying to messages containing mpr content, the images are replaced with the text "[ Image ]", rather than displaying broken links as it did previously.
- Fix: Really long subject support. If the subject was longer than a few hundred characters message send / save draft etc failed to work, fixed now.
- Fix: Sending to an email address with single quotes in the email address to text description by replying to a message resulted in an invalid contacts entry getting saved. This now creates a valid correctly encoded entry.

Fri 29 January 2010: Specials version 4.2g-7

- New: Rewrite of the way surgeweb deals with attachments and what to display from a message to support multipart related message sending, display of attached rfc822 / *.eml messages allowing viewing / replying to in surgeweb, and fancier mime formats that interleave multiple MIME parts inline. None of these features are actually enabled yet, but I will carefully test and enable these one by one over the next few days. Other than aforementioned features I think existing behaviour should stay the same. If you have any messages that used to display ok that no longer display correctly please notify surgemail-support@netwinsite.com.
- New: Allow any text to be customised when using english interface using language translation mechanism eg $$Some text$$. Add "custom_english_phrases true" setting to config_*.dat and then add appropriate "English:" entries to the lang_web.dat file.
- New: Resize support for icons at bottom of message for image attachments with IMAGE/JPG mime type, previously it only resized jpg images with IMAGE/JPEG or IMAGE/PJPG mime types.
- New: Changes to attachment handling so images that are part of multipart related messages but have no CID / "Content-ID" header get displayed as normal attachments.
- New: Display multipart/report emails correctly.
- Fix: If encoded (eg quoted printable) plain text parts contained naked CR characters the rest of the line was getting truncated when displaying the message in surgeweb. This now gets corrected and the rest of the line displayed.
- Fix: Keep spaces at start of lines. During plaintext to html conversion space characters at start of lines were lost. This would affect two main circumstances: 1) Viewing messages formatted in plaintext (either received emails or as sent using plain text mode)  2) Saving a message as draft (whilst in plaintext sending mode) and then reediting the message would lose space at start of lines.
- Fix: As part of the daily surgeweb directory expiry, actually delete bad attachments.zip as left by the bug fixed below, to reclaim the disk space :-)
- Fix: A certain case of dealing with "download all" of the attachments would fill your disk with a single large multi gigabyte "attachments.zip" file until surgemail noticed it was too busy and restarted; or your disk was full :-(

Thu 28 January 2010: Release version 4.2d3-3

- Fix: Get the "download all fix" noted above into the production release distributions. Possible signs of this issue having been hit: Major jumps in diskusage by the surgeweb folder, restart reports in startstop.log referring to MZIP mutex. Note: Subsequent to this build (4.2d3-3) it was noted that if this issue is hit, these temp folders files are not actually getting deleted after a few days as I thought they were, this is fixed is in builds 4.2g-6+ (or if this space needs to be recovered more urgently manually delete large attachments.zip files in the surgemail/surgeweb/work tree).

Wed 20 January 2010: Specials version 4.2g-2

- New: Print shows all recipients in a message rather than limiting each to/cc line to a maximum of 3 with "...xN more".

Wed 20 January 2010: Specials version 4.2g-1

- New: Surgeweb stores Bcc information with messages saved to the "Sent" and "Drafts" folders. This is shown when these messages are viewed using surgeweb (or other mail clients) and gets filled out when you are re-editing a draft message.

Fri 15 January 2010: Beta version 4.2f-1

- Fix: Deal with dragging message list / preview resizer to the very top of the screen. Message list is now always a minimum of two message lines.
- Fix: If ',' or ';' characters are entered in the Firstname or Lastname fields addressing when sending works correctly now.
- Fix: Replying to addresses formatted with doublequotes and containg a comma (eg "Bloggs, Joe") was sending these as doubly doublequoted eg (eg ""Bloggs, Joe"") which showed recipient addresses incorrectly dispalyed in the mail clients of the person receiving the email.
- Fix: Further fixes to UIDVALIDITY resets. I think the odd crashes some people have been seeing since just before Christmas are finally resolved now.
- Fix: Crash if you got two identical logout requests on the same surgeweb session and you were very unlucky with your timing.

Sat 9 January 2010: Specials version 4.2e-37

- Fix: Yesterdays attachments fix was a bit too severe, messages with atachments and message bodies was not displaying the message bodies at all anymore. Fixed now.

Fri 8 January 2010: Specials version 4.2e-36

- Fix: Multiplart/mixed messages with an attachment but no message body were displaying the attachment content as the message body, and not displayign the attachment.
- Fix: Message send request in Ajax interface had slightly invalid http formatting. This was fine in the browser and surgemail, but in the case of one customer network level http request washing was "eating" these so all surgeweb message sends would fail with "Communication error - server not reachable".

Thu 7 January 2010: Specials version 4.2e-35

- Fix: Several memory leaks surrounding surgeweb contacts handling, webmail contacts import into surgeweb, and some IMAP actions.

Wed 30 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-32

- Fix: Further fix related to UIDVALIDITY issues, that was crashing surgemail if you clicked on a messages that was the result of a cross folder search and this actioned the UIDVALIDITY reset of the surgweb folder cache.

Tue 29 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-31

- Fix: Drafts in the drafts folder that should be getting automatically deleted were no longer getting automatically deleted if you are not in the drafts folder. (ie usual case for autosaved drafts - broken with feature additions in 4.2e-26)
- Fix: UIDVALIDITY bug was actually a surgeweb fault mixing up folders on some commands. Mixing up of folders is fixed now, I'm pretty sure anyway... but will be doing further testing the next few days.

Sat 26 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-30

- Fix: Implemented workaround in surgeweb UIDVALIDITY code, as bug in imap code (yet to be fixed) was resulting in surgeweb having to invalidate its indexes way to frequently (and a variety of other errors in interface as a result).

Wed 23 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-29

- Fix: IMAP UIDVALIDITY based reset code in build 4.2e-26 would sometimes have multiple threads trying to reset a folder at the same time which would result in surgemail sporadically crashing in odd ways.
- Fix: The following character strings in a message ("$&" "$'" "$`") would have led to odd things displayed in message display ("%%the_msg%%" displayed or duplication of the message header)

Sun 20 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-28

- New: A new setting added "pref_nocontacts" to be manually added to a _user.dat file to troubleshoot a particular account for performance etc issues without any of the contacts information getting downloaded.
- Fix: Two signature handling fixes, using IE and popup message windows signature was not initialising correctly, and code to detect changes in signature text then switching signatures was not working correctly.
- Fix: If https is enforced and you connect usng http, you are redirected immediately rather than redirected "after the http login page is mostly loaded".
- Fix: Mime constructs that did not have a space character between "Content-Type:" and the actual content type were not getting identified properly. The issue that highlighted this was email enabled printer/scanner whose attachments were not showing.

Fri 18 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-26

- New: SurgeWeb now tracks IMAP UIDVALIDITY per folder (as it really should have done but never did), so "if UIDVALIDITY happens to change" on the server surgeweb will clear its message indexes and cached message files to avoid mixups in UIDS.
- New: A pref_reply email address gets used in the return-path header now too (it was already used in From header; and one still needs to explicitly manually specify the "allowed_from" in _user.dat to allow an account to use a from address that does not match email adress)
- New: In the message list, messages in the Sent folder are displayed in grey when searching across folders to make conversations easier to follow.
- New: "Draft emails" usable as templates without them getting deleted on send. Surgeweb now saves draft messages with imap draft flag and opening any message with the draft flag opens it for editing rather than for display. Copying draft messages to any folder other than Drafts folder means they will not be deleted when sending. Most usable is to create a folder named "Templates" (which will update the menubar with an edit button like the Drafts folder) and use this to store "template draft messages".
- Fix: Clicking a folder surgeweb dispalying new messages and then having background new_mail check happen later still displayed the audio / visual newmail indicator for messages that were already displayed due to manual folder refresh. This was confusing as you may well have already read these. The newmail audio / visual indicator only happens for new messages that arrive since last time the whole folder list was displayed.
- Fix: Deletion/move etc of a message then moving the cursor using the arrow keys in the direction that "the pending confirmation but hidden from display" message was no longer working (since the immediate hide in 4.2c-5). It was already "working again" as soon as confirmation was received the message was deleted / moved etc.

Sat 12 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-24

- New: Surgeweb shared addressbook updates get mirrorred, updates to contacts icon images (either shared or personal) now get mirrorred too.
- Fix: Global and domain shared addressbooks were no longer editable with surgeweb - additional shared addressbooks defined using g_abook settings were not affected by this bug.
- Fix: If html tags were used in signature, this sometimes results in some parts of these getting displayed in a rather odd format at the start of your signature - particularly using IE but I think it may well affect other browsers too (introduced with signature features of 4.1d-5).
- Fix: Contacts odd situation fixes: Ampersand characters were no longer working in group names (result could not add contacts to groups with ampersand in name); Webmail addressbooks with brackets in name were not treated correctly; Webmail addressbook entries with invalid address entries (eg in email address field: "User Name") were not treated nicely; Single quotes were not being correctly encoded for webmail import (result was unusable contacts - if any customer contacts fail to load, check if they have a group like "John's group" and replace this with "John\'s group" in their user.abk file - if it still fails pass me the user.abk file for further analysis.)
- Fix: If quoted printable encoding was triggered (eg high ascii characters) during a message send, and the message had attachments and the message was not html the quoted printable header was added to the wrong message part resulting in display of "=20" at the end of message lines.
- Fix: Several surgeweb memory leaks fixed

Sat 5 December 2009: Release version 4.2d2-2

- Fix: Several fixes already in the 4.2e-* builds

Sat 5 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-21

- Fix: Some combinations of contact address import were leaving the surgeweb contacts in an unusable state, addressbooks with this particular bad state will start working again with this build.
- Fix: (IE only) Made windows backspace key (same key as osx delete key) delete a message without browsing back to previous page in IE.

Fri 4 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-20

- New: (non surgeweb) Changes in surgemail webserver implementation to improve performance on systems with large numbers of processors.
- New: Print button is available in customisation options for dispaly on menubar in message list and in individual message display.
- Fix: (FF and Safari only) Bug in search field changes last week meant that in  keyboard shortcuts (like N for new message etc) were getting actioned whilst typing in the search field.

Tue 1 December 2009: Specials version 4.2e-17

- New: Settings to globally disable newmail checks and inbox caching ('global_nocache true' and 'global_nocheck true' to be added in config_*.dat files) - useful for troubleshooting excessive load circumstances.
- New: Significant tidyup of the contacts import functionality as documented infividually below.
- New: Improved & prettified import dialog with vcf, csv and webmail imports as part of same dialog. Contacts import is now a two step process, the first step uploads the file and shows how many new contacts and contact updates will be added, and then a second step to confirm or cancel the import.
- New: Webmail import can now be run multiple times without getting duplicates. Webmail distribution lists can be imported. Both webmail addressbooks and distribution lists get imported automatically and display of webmail contact tickboxes has been removed (old behaviour can be restored by adding "import_webmail manual" in config_*.dat files). In addition webmail imports can be triggered later using the import dialog.
- New: The most recent contacts import is added as a "Last Import" group. In addition to the "Last Import" group, the import dialog allows you to select another group to add your imported contacts to. Deleting a contact from a group now shows a dialog to choose between "removing contact from group" or "deleting contact" (ie removal from all groups). Deleting a group, now shows shows a dialog to choose from "delete group" or "delete group and all contacts in group".
- New: Additional minor tweaks and fixes surrounding contacts imports, including: contact groups now support single apostrophe character, crashing for non rfc compliant vcards.
- New: Allow the use of up and down arrow keys (to move the message cursor) directly whilst the search box has focus on the message list page without needing explicit message list selection. Pressing escape on message list level clears search just like pressing escape on search field.
- Fix: Logging out was no longer correctly terminating a session. The effect of this that was noticable, was that ticking the "remember me" on login page continued to work, even after the logout button was pressed.
- Fix: Firefox only error popup "unknown condition 2", if actioning a reply / forward to a message that was not yet cached browserside. The result was that the reply composition pane never fully initialised, and reply could not be edited / sent.
- Fix: Google chrome warning (see build 4.2e-14) was erroneously being displayed in IE when actioning a reply or a forward to a message that was not yet cached (ie using tickbox only to select inbox mesage with inbox caching disabled or other folder)
- Fix: Longstanding issue that in widescreen layout, using IE, and a scrollbar displayed on the message list the preview dropped downwards "offscreen".
- Fix: Reply-all was updating the message icon to a forwarded icon rather than a replied icon.

Wed 25 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-14

- New: User.cgi "Change password" and "Filtering and spam control" options pages now available in the basic interface.
- New: Google chrome 4.0.233.16 workaround in build 4.2e-11 turned into a warning, as the workaround in build 4.2e-11 did not work to isolate the Chrome fault. I think it will work now but I have yet to encounter the issue since this change.
- Fix: Binary data in vCard imports was not getting correctly handled
- Fix: Handle leak in initial background download thread of large folders.
- Fix: Forward attached emails are now actually sent as MIME type "message/rfc822" rather than ordinary file attachments - this means that outlook natively opens the message. Most mail clients were already natively opening these based on file extension previously.
- Fix: Error handling in "initial folder download background thread" could crash surgemail if connection to imap server failed. Notably this could happen in a frontend - backend configuration if the backend system was shutdown / unavailable.
- Fix: Weird dialog interactions, notably when receiving a "session no longer valid dialog" when already in one of the more complicated dialogs, but also got hit in other circumstances. Was not clearing the dialog properly, resulting in very odd dialog contents in some cases.
- Fix: If webmail addressbooks had email addresses defined as psuedo distribution lists eg "User Name <email@addres1.dom,email@addres2.dom>" (this would have worked in some places of the the old webmail interface) and this was imported into surgeweb, this resulted in invalid entries in the surgeweb addressbook. The invalid entries could not be deleted or removed from the "Webmail import" group. These entries now get identifed and corrected by turning them into surgeweb groups.

Sat 21 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-12

- Fix: (non surgeweb) Minor tweak in webdav implementation (which btw is pretty much fully fuctional now) broke all surgemail web interfaces other than webdav

Fri 20 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-11

- New: Delete added the the message context menu (right clicking message(s) in the message list)
- New: Workaround for Google chrome (notably version 4.0.223.16, but may affect other versions) getTime system function that is sometimes infinitely recursive, resulting surgeweb interface not actioning any ajax requests anymore, so seeming almost totally "locked up".
- New: Added advanced customisation documentation page for the "things you might want to change and are tempted to change in the tpl directory".
- Fix: Method for disabling Global & Domain shared contacts as per advanced customisation link above was resulting in errors for any actions rebuilding contacts information (eg import, message send, and a few others)
- Fix: Contacts fieldname clash was almost but not entirely resolved yesterday, resulting in errors when adding contacts to fixed groups and the contact gettting added to ALL fixed groups when adding to custom group.
- Fix: Added the setting "labels_disable true" advanced customisation setting that can be manually added config_*.dat files to completely disable surgeweb labels in the interface.
- Fix: More visible and less grating cursor colors per default.
- Fix: Improvements to the cursor handling during contacts drag and drop - still further contacts drag and drop improvements planned soon.

Thu 19 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-10

- Fix: Kinda nasty bug that resulted in unpredictable behaviour when trying to delete anything but the most trivial groups. Typical behaviour only some contacts removed from the group and the group not getting deleted, but could even result in surgemail crashing. This bug seems to have always existed.
- Fix: Contacts manager fieldname clash which meant that the fixed groups (by default Colleagues,Family,Friends) were sometimes not displayed and sometimes displayed with deletable icon next to them.
- Fix: If an account had custom deletable groups in personal addressbook, would fail to display contacts management interface straight after login - would start working later on though. (broken yesterday and now fixed)

Wed 18 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-9

- Fix: There was no way of deleting groups in your personal addressbook (again since the changes in build 4.2e-4)
- Fix: Contact removal from a group was actioning a contact delete (since the changes in build 4.2e-4)
- Fix: Disabled status warnings when logging out to prevent background requests like inbox caching etc requests showing javascript warnings because they were terminated because you are logging out.
- Fix: (IE7 only) In Spam preferences selections were not getting "greyed out" in the second selection box as disabled options are not supported in IE7. It now appears like they are disabled by coloring individual options grey or black.
- Fix: Refreshing of webmail abk files for readonly display in surgeweb was not working properly with surgeweb's addressbook caching. Fixed.
- Fix: Contact picker was not working anymore on popup message windows.

Tue 17 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-8

- Fix: Problem with the uploading of contact icon images fixed.
- Fix: Surgeweb's addressbook caching was not working properly with updates on the ldap and authentication database based addressbooks.
- Fix: Doing a search for a message across multiple folders, then selecting a message in the preview not in the folder you started in, then pressing "download all" attachments was resulting in bad request or empty file zip dependant on message uids.

Mon 16 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-6

- Fix: Additional warnings and button hiding for webmail contacts and shared contacts in the html interface.
- Fix: Selection handling had been slightly broken.
- Fix: Safari only issue where on "some" of the surgeweb pages pressing enter on the relogin dialog ws not actioning the relogin dialog. (I believe it worked for all pages in most browsers and most pages in safari already)
- Fix: Edit draft was not working on the html basic interface.
- Fix: Using https from surgeweb to user.cgi (using the surgemail.ini setting "surgeweb_backend_web https://1.2.3.4:7443") was not working quite right, resulting in issues on the preferences page.
- Fix: Spellchecker fixes in 4.2e-4 had not actually been committed to source control yet. They are part of the build now.

Sun 15 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-5

- Fix: Several bugs in the 4.2e-4 build fixed

Sun 15 November 2009: Specials version 4.2e-4

- New: Major rewrite of the surgeweb contacts handling to improve usability, improve efficiency and add a bunch of new features. Individual changes and features documented below.
- New: Print contact vCard and print contact list features now functional.
- New: Basic interface now has a contacts management interface. Similar tree interface to the new Ajax interface contacts management interface. Only provides access to a limited set of contact fields (name / email / phone / address).
- New: Surgeweb serverside level addressbook caching enabled. This should significantly lighten the server loading (particularly on backend imap server) of surgeweb addressbook handling actions and should also make addressbook actions slightly speedier browserside. If stale addressbooks / strange behaviour is encountered this can be disabled by adding "abook_caching_disable true" in the custom/config*.dat files. Additional improvements still to be made here :-)
- New: Support for separate browse and search modes for addressbooks. The search mode is designed for addressbooks that are too large to sensibly store browserside. This feature is only available for the LDAP and authentication database based surgeweb addressbooks for now. For auth and ldap addressbooks defaults to auto, which means browse if <200 addresses and search if >200 addresses. Modes and limits configurable in the ldap and auth addressbook configuration options.
- New: LDAP based surgeweb addressbooks. Options much like authentication database based addressbooks. This is only available on windows builds currently but should be fairly easy to add to unix builds too. Let us know if you have need for this on unix.
- New: Authentication database based surgeweb addressbooks. Variety of configuration options available from the configure link on the abook page once an addressbook is saved as auth or ldap. One notable feature for auth based addressbooks is to limit the contents by access group useful to say have a "list of students" and a separate list of "staff" for example.
- New: Icon images can be added to any personal or surgeweb shared contact entries.
- New: Core of the rewrite made active. This splits personal and shared contacts, and splits "groups" into addressbooks and distribution lists, and presents this as a tree in the interface on the contacts page.  In the background addressbooks are processed individually providing the facility for improved performance (performance improvements still to be enabled). The contact picker has been rehashed based on the same concepts and now has "All personal contacts", "groups from personal addressbook and directories" and "directories containing all shared addressbooks" the separate tabs. This change set has the potential to break any part of surgeweb but I have tested all things I can think of to work now... additional behaviour changes will be added soon.
- New: Multiple email addresses per contact are now all available / individually selectable in the contact picker and in the autocompletion dropdown list.
- New: vCard vcf contact files can now be imported using import in surgeweb pages or "tellmail import_vard ..." command. Both vcard and cvs import will now try and reuse exisiting contacts if it can (based on email address and username) so updates can more easily be applied without getting a zillion duplicate entries.
- New: Old webmail groups now displayed and usable as groups within surgeweb - still readonly, actual import of webmail groups still to be implemented (soon)
- New: Queued web request channels logs are available under the green info icon to troubleshoot permantly rotating icon issues.
- Fix: Minor tweak to the handling of numerical bullet points in html messages (as generated by MSWord) to display them tidier.
- Fix: Two recipient handling limits fixed in surgeweb. 1) During send if any of the to/cc/bcc fields were bigger than 1kb (20-40 addresses) the whole field was getting dropped; 2) display of recipients was limted to 5kb (100-200 addresses) and this was the maximum number of recipients replyall would put in the addressing fields. Now should be unlimited within surgeweb. The following have been tested to work fine up to 1000 recipient addresses per email (at which point surgemail's g_rcpt_max kicks in): recipients in to/cc/from fields, sending to groups (either browserside or serverside expanded), display of recipients list within email, recipients displayed when pressing reply all. note: one fix is template file based, the other surgemail binary based, so a full distribution is required to apply fix.
- Fix: Spellchecker fixes: some suggestion words were resulting in javascript error, and now deals better with apostrophes in words eg "Couldn't"

Thu 5 November 2009: Beta version 4.2d-1

- New: Ability to customise mobile interface logo image (manually add "mobile_custom_banner true" and then place banner_mobile.jpg in custom directories)
- Fix: Made suregweb more tolerant of spam body modification, spam body modification resulted in surgeweb pretty much always truncating the message for display.
- Fix: (non surgeweb) Several non surgeweb fixes as per surgemail changes

Wed 28 October 2009: Specials version 4.2c-5

- New: Messages get hidden immediately on message delete / move to make interface seem more responsive (tweaked version of setting introduced in build 4.2b-11). Can be disabled in advanced preferences.
- Fix: Minor rewording on "Filtering and Spam control" preferences page
- Fix: Made "lock_name_auth" apply to basic interface too.
- Fix: Actually made the delete key get actioned at the global level. After recent keyhandling changes just the delete key still needed explicit message list selection.
- Fix: After relogin using "relogin dialog" due to session timeout, save draft showed error even though the save actually succeeded. (may also have affected other commands)

Sat 24 October 2009: Specials version 4.2c-4

- Fix: Pressing NotSpam on messages in Spam folder was not training & cleaning messages correctly, sometimes resulted in multiple copies of the message in inbox, sometimes even the wrong message.
- Fix: Pressing Spam / NotSpam / Allow Once / Block Forever results in javascript error. Note the action was still actioned and a folder refresh gets display synchronised again. Not sure when broken, but is broken in 4.2a3-3 production release.

Sat 24 October 2009: Specials version 4.2c-3

- New: Tidied various aspects of the Preferences tabs, including list of keyboard and mouse shortcuts and removal of not yet implemented items from options menu.
- New: Surgemail disables relevant parts of interface for (g_)user_access settings "pass,fwd,fwdonly,exceptions". Also if none of the Filtering/Spam control features are enabled the tab gets completely hidden.
- New: New surgeweb setting "lock_options_basic true" (manually add to custom/config_*.dat) - Hide the screen layout and advanced tabs in Preferences to prevent users from "playing" with them.
- New: New surgeweb setting "lock_name_auth true" (manually add to custom/config_*.dat) - Prevent end users from changing their "from address details" and update full_name from authentication database on every session login.
- Fix: Emails with from addresses with a single quote character in the actual address were failing to display, and failing during "conversation history" searches. Both fixed.

Fri 23 October 2009: Specials version 4.2c-2

- New: Settings to refresh and target right column based google ads. more info
- New: Google Chrome 3 browser bugs warning, with optional drag and drop disable. more info
- New: New surgeweb setting "smtp_ssl_required" settable on the customisation page to force SSL on sending SMTP connections without the need to explicitly specify IP:port for each domain using the surgemail domain setting surgeweb_backend_smtp.
- Fix: Filtered out Cmd-Q so it has standard behaviour on OSX.
- Fix: Context menu on folders through "Ctrl clicking" was still not working on OSX.

Fri 16 October 2009: Specials version 4.2b-12

- New: Sending as text / html can be clicked to toggle mode during compose (interface probably still needs improving though). Several other related fixes including setting of html mode if color changes are made. Not setting of html mode if "remove all formatting" is clicked. Improved detection of replying in html mode if message is multipart alternative.
- Fix: The csv contacts import was no longer working due to recent cross site scripting changes. Fixed and now supports a lot more outlook fields to import and is smarter about dealing with fields it does not know about if "Add unrecognised data" is ticked.

Thu 15 October 2009: Specials version 4.2b-11

- New: Rewrite of selection handling (mainly keyboard selections), fixing many things - including: top  & bottom end of selection handling better, bunch of message actions (like keyboard based select all / delete / cache etc) can be done without first needing explicit message list selection, Ctl-A can be used to select all message body text in preview pane (click preview first to set focus), support for OSX Cmd key and Option modifier keys instead of Ctl to match normal OSX key behaviour, support for Ctl click on OSX to get context menus, Windows "menu alt keys" can be pressed without message actions triggering.
- New: Sort order remembered per session serverside, so new message notifications do not reset the client side displayed message sort order to reverse date. Also option to make sort order "sticky" so it will remember what it was set to (default is always revert to reverse date on a new login). Also sorting by to / from addresses fixed so it removes non printable characters like quotation marks before sorting.
- New: Experimental option to hide messages immediately instead of greying them out first when deleting etc (setting needs manual addition until we decide whether this is actually a sensible feature;-)
- Fix: Crash during html washing if a particular odd html construct was encountered
- Fix: Forwarding a message with attachments or forward attach was losing the attachment at send time if using the basic html interface.
- Fix: Tweaked the "Single line on reply" header slightly

Fri 9 October 2009: Beta version 4.2a3-3
(patched build for production release with several fixes already in 4.2b-* builds)

- Fix: Doing a "download all" of multiple attachments with no file extension and the same name crashed surgemail.
- Fix: Forwarding a message with attachments or forward attach was losing the attachment at send time if using the basic html interface.
- Fix: (non surgeweb) Friends processing bugfix

Tue 6 October 2009: Specials version 4.2b-7

- New: Header to quoted message text on replies is now a single line - there is an option to disable this and display same multiline header as forward like it used to.
- New: Made cross site scripting vunerability checking more rigorous. Note: be on lookout for these that may have been introduced as a result: 1) interface actions that not longer work 2) html messages that do not show correctly (due to stricter HTML washing, please pass the emails in original format from disk to surgemail-support@netwinsite.com for analysis)
- New: OSX Fluid user script to have multiple concurrent surgeweb accounts as "permanently online web applications" with always uptodate unread count in dock, automatic relogin on session timeout, and automatic start on bootup (I'll write some instructions and add to help and post a link here)
- New: Native support for "unread message count" (just like Apple mail - in OSX dock and application switcher) when running under OSX Fluid Site Specific Browser. (note: Fluid is a useful way to make any web page behave "like an application" under OSX)
- New: "Nice icon" on iphone when creating a "bookmark on home screen" to any of the surgemail web interfaces
- New: Support for Thunderbird fields for the contacts import of csv files
- New: A surgeweb reply to a dbabble generated email message is now sent plain text rather than multipart alternative html.
- Fix: Doing a "download all" of multiple attachments with no file extension and the same name crashed surgemail.
- Fix: Issue with the saving of preferences that enabled these advanced settings (sticky_menus, no_fancy_rcpt, no_replycolor, no_filtermenus) "for the rest of the session" if any preferences save was done.
- Fix: Make the message list icons (attachment, priority, security) & label alignment work nicely in IE7 (&IE8 compatibility mode)
- Fix: Make the delete key on the OSX apple keyboard delete a mesage and not "browse back" out of surgeweb.
- Fix: Rewrite of the menu handling code fixing a bunch of menu problems. Most notably right click context menus not working at all on firefox and safari. But other issues too. Menus should now mostly all work either as a "click(hold) - drag(to menu selection) - mouse up" or "click(with mouseup) - drag(to menu selection) - second click" action on all browsers.

Thu 24 September 2009: Beta version 4.2a2-2

- Fix: (non surgeweb) Recently added crashing bug in the archiving code (only seemed to affect some systems).

Wed 23 September 2009: Beta version 4.2a-1

- Change: References to "Ajax interface" changed to "Standard Interface" on login page and interface switching buttons. Documentation not yet reviewed.
- Fix: Clicking contacts seach field clear it ready for input (was broken some time back)
- Fix: No content was getting displayed for html messages with a <head> but no </head> tag (technically invalid html)
- Fix: Filehandle leak during send of plain format=flowed messages (introduced with format=flowed plain text features of build 4.1b-14)

Mon 21 September 2009: Specials version 4.1d-6

- New: Added example to extend.js of making the change password button point to your own password administration web page
- Fix: Problem with the language translation file. Any "brand new" surgemail installs since 4.1c-1 will have a badly formatted "surgemail/lang_web.dat" file (upgrade installs are not affected). Symptoms are garbage entry in "language drop down" on front page and "Remember me" displayed to right of language dopdown. For now fix is to manually replace the surgemail/lang_web.dat with the version from any new distribution (4.1d-6+) as this file does not get replaced on upgrades currently.
- Fix: Browser check tweaked to make it better able to detect Safari based browsers (such as Fluid)

Sat 19 September 2009: Specials version 4.1d-5

- New: Able to easily add signature to "just a few" or "not a few" messages. Selection done on compose pane and if "remember" sticky options are used on the compose pane this is remembered for next message. Without "remember", the show / noshow default can be set in Options - Preferences.
- Change: When replying to plain text message, plain text reply (format=flowed mode) is only enabled if message actually arrives with format=flowed formatting, else html (multipart alternative) is used to keep dumb microsoft mail clients happier.
- Fix: Recently added "Remember" sticky compose options work on popup message windows too now
- Fix: Minor changes to the way the html editor is initialised. Timing bug, which sometimes resulted in google Chrome sometimes having an uneditable compose pane should be fixed. If anyone encounters problems with the editor (particularly in older versions of firefox) please let me know.
- Fix: When using "download all" attachments feature, handle it more nicely if the all the attachments actually have the same filename

Tue 15 September 2009: Specials version 4.1d-4

- Fix: Have surgeweb "reply indenting" work better with plaintext messages with spaces between quote characters as per "> > > Original". Notably existing netwin webmail formats it replies like this.
- Fix: When sending emails with an ampersand character '&' this would get replaced by a random letter in the text part of sent messages. Bug has always existed but is more noticeable now that surgweb preferentially sends in plain text. Html parts of multipart/alternative messages not affected.

Mon 14 September 2009: Specials version 4.1d-3

- Note: Surgeweb will clear and regenerate its imap folder indexes first time a folder is used after this build has been installed (this may take up to a minute or so per 10000 messages in a folder but is done in the background)
- New: More options for hiding some of the interface elements (particularly surgemail spam related warnings if not using surgemail spam handling) using extension css file: extend.css
- New: Seperate Reply indicator into Reply / Forward / Reply+Forward
- New: Attachment, priority, security indicators as part of message list
- New: SurgeVault encryption integration for message sending (PRERELEASE - contact surgemail-support@netwinsite.com if you wish to try this)
- New: "Remember" tickbox in the message compose options that allows the message compose options to be "sticky". ie. display of cc/bcc/options and state of priority/confirmation
- New: Automatic timezone detection from browser
- Fix: If messages in the message list were clicked before list was fully displayed this resulted in javascript error.
- Fix: Tidied "marking as read" handling. In particular, if no preview was present or web mode was used it would mark as read when it shouldn't, or was not marking as read when it should in some situations.

Mon 7 September 2009: Beta version 4.1c-1

- Fix: Text part of multipart/alternative was missig a cr/lf if the event it it did not need to be quoted printable encoded
- Fix: Surgeweb generated plain/text messages with attachments had an extra mime header which displayed as part of the text content

Fri 4 September 2009: Specials version 4.1b-16

- Change: Keyboard "message send" shortcut is now Ctrl-Shift-Enter, it seems Shift-Enter was getting frequently accidentally hit just like Ctrl-Enter. Please let me know if it is improved now.
- Fix: Surgeweb "eating whitespaces sometimes". Primary problem affected sending using firefox after doing a copy and paste of text - affected both text and html parts of multipart mime messages. In the editor the message looked correct at time of sending. Other browsers not affected. Secondary problem affected all browsers but only possible sometimes if sending a plain text part generated from html display in editor (thus only possible since addition of plain text sending in 4.1b-14)
- Fix: Addition of square brackets around an email address in surgeweb prevented email from getting sent and resulted in contacts being completely broken. Note: on any accounts that contacts is broken for this reason, contacts should start working again with this fix.
- Fix: Html messages with multiple style blocks were no longer getting handled correctly (as of build 4.1b-11)

Mon 31 August 2009: Specials version 4.1b-15

- New: Create link button in the html editor toolbar
- New: Surgeweb html editor now supports setting of font color and background color in the message editor (includes blogs editor)

Sat 29 August 2009: Specials version 4.1b-14

- Note: If message formatting oddities are encountered with these changes please send me the actual message with bad formatting, and very importantly also the original message that was replied to / forwarded. I need both in raw format from disk for the troubleshooting of any issues here.
- New: Parts of the documentation updated. Notably these pages added: contacts documention (includes shared contacts), faq page and multiple server clustering configuration notes. Also installed surgemail help fixed wrt new netwinsite.com layout changes.
- New: Support for format=flowed plain/text only messages. The ajax interface surgeweb will default to sending messages in plain/text (rather than multipart related with html). Editing is still gets done in the html editor with colored reply indenting etc. If you use any of the html markup on the toolbar the message will automatically switch to getting sent as a multipart/related message with both text and html parts. If you reply to a message that starts of as an html message your message will be sent as html. (possibly need some more finer grained control but I suspect this is all that is needed)
- New: Surgeweb outputs the textpart of as nicely formatted format=flowed plain/text. In addition to this, if the text part contains a few UTF-8 characters quoted-printable content transfer encoding is also used. If the text part contains lots of UTF8, the whole text part is base64 encoded instead.
- Fix: A little of this code was mistakenly active in Thursdays builds which would have resulted in oddly formatted plain text parts in multipart alternative html messages (ie mostly would have been invisible to users).

Thu 27 August 2009: Specials version 4.1b-12

- New: CSV import can be imported direct to any shared addressbook you have permission to access. Number of records imported gets displayed to user.
- Change: Send mesage keyboard shortcut changed from Ctrl-Enter to Shift-Enter, it just happened too often that you pasted with Ctrl-V and followed that with the enter key and having surgeweb recognise that as "send the message now" because your finger was not off the Ctrl key yet.
- Fix: Minor fixes to display of multilevel quoted replies.
- Fix: The csv import was not importing the last field specified on the formatting line of the CSV file. Also if no ',' are found it will try to use the ';' as a field separator instead.

Thu 27 August 2009: Specials version 4.1b-11

- Fix: Crashing bug during friends bounce reply processing if the email had certain formatting. (introduced 4.1b-6)
- Fix: Make sure the surgeplus / user.cgi autologin works on frontend / back server combinations
- Fix: Text part processing issue that had some odd consequences as a result of browser quirks. If the source of a reply was a text part of another message (as opposed to html part), it would remove spaces between some words "during the send" even though it looked correct at in the browser at time of sending (only affected some browsers). The same issue was responsible for the addition of spaces after certain text lines which meant that the '\' line continuation character could not be effectively used in messages.
- Fix: Html part of multipart messages sent by surgeweb are a little tidier

Mon 24 August 2009: Specials version 4.1b-10

- New: Ability to hide "Remember me" tickbox on the front page - again requires css customisation and sample code in extend.css.
- New: Ability to display Filestore button as well as / instead of the Photos button to get to the top level of the surgeplus filesharing (needs to be enabled in extension css)
- New: Enabled skin styling and extension css / js for the basic interface and the stylings defined for ajax should apply mostly here.
- New: Received multilevel format=flowed text only messages get displayed nicely using indentation mechanism below.
- New: Blockquote based indentation when replying to make levels of reply easy to spot, with automatic "breakout" to outer level on pressing enter with cursor in text. As displayed in surgeweb first reply level is always blue, second reply level green, then light brown and the rest light grey (text color explicitly set in html does override this though). This mechanism is send/receive compatible with the reply indentations as displayed by other clients (notably thunderbird, osx mail, gmail). Note the colouring does not get explicitly set so what the destination message "looks like" in terms of colors depends on the destination mail client. (Only outlook does not have much of a visual cue yet...) There is a setting to revert old behaviour in preferences.
- New: (non surgeweb) html spam status email has facility for normally disabled "report all as spam" action link.
- New: (non surgeweb) html spam status email also displays summarised To header information to detect messages to multiple recipients / undisclosed recipients / bcc's etc.
- Fix: Crashing bug in the body searching code if the tcp connection was prematurely broken.
- Fix: If using g_maildir_netwin, pressing "Send >>Done" on a message already in the Done folder resulted in an error (which meant it was easy to resend the message as it was already successfully sent).

Fri 14 August 2009: Specials version 4.1b-5

- New: Chrome spell check fix earlier today, broke the chrome focus to message body on reply/forward etc code - focus now fixed.
- Fix: Folder names now have full UTF8 support. This means any folders with non ascii characters created in other mail client should show in surgeweb and visa versa. Folders with utf8 characters previously created from surgeweb were stored in imap with invalid foldernames, these are corrected and ambiguous characters replaced by '?' and suffixed by the text "- invalid name N".

Thu 10 August 2009: Specials version 4.1b-4

- New: Google chrome native browser spellchecker now works in the message editor when composing messages
- New: ICONV international / UTF-8 character set handling for linux64, freebsd7, solaris8, solaris_x86
- Fix: In basic html mode, delete & move when a message is displayed have never worked and move copy message in message list were recently broken.
- Fix: Menus that "would not go away" broken several weeks back. Let me know if there are any menus that disappear too soon now...
- Fix: Automatic contact addition when replying to emails with from header spread over multiple lines (notably happened for international characters =?iso encoded international characters from hotmail) would result in broken addressbooks.  Fixed for new address addition, and surgeweb addressbooks previously broken like this will start working again too.
- Fix: Strip inline html tag "position:" styles. Notably makes some yahoo groups messages display nicely in IE7 (message text was bleeding all over the whole page and not scrolling).

Thu 23 July 2009: Beta version 4.1a-1

- Fix: Messages containing unicode line separator characters would not display in FF & Safari
- Fix: Handle leak when attempting to send a message without any valid recipients having been specified
- Fix: Explicitly specifying the domain to login to using domain_ex variable made a bit nicer
- Fix: Setting to disable fancy recipient addressing did not work

Thu 16 July 2009: Specials version 4.0x-4

- New: IMAP based full body search is implemented

Tue 14 July 2009: Specials version 4.0x-3

- New: SurgeWeb disables appropriate parts of the surgeweb interface in response to 'friends' and 'spam' user_access settings.
- New: Changed the quota display in the Mail panel header to include quota limit.
- New: Make html editor automatically switch from markup to normal mode before sending/spellcheck/saving emails; in signature editor; and editing blog posts.
- Fix: Made edit in markup mode work for multiple concurrent messages in tabs.
- Fix: Messages with attachments or spam control buttons would not display in folders with a single apostrophe in the name
- Fix: Text "blurriness" removed from selected messages text in message list in non high contrast cursor mode
- Fix: Recent bug that had surgeweb display "(none)" in from column if a surgeweb label was applied (imap label was fine) or a message had a X-SpamDetect header (big-endian systems only ie Solaris sparc and OSX PPC)
- Fix: Links in top right of messages (prev/next, conversation, popup, raw/text/html) did not work if searching across multiple folders and dealing with a message not in the primary folder you started your search from
- Fix: IE only focus issue where edit fields in interface would sometimes become unselectable, very visibly the search box - and also other things like text could not be selected for copy paste. Happened under some conditions when caret focus was within an iframe that was closed (message body edit, signature edit, or any field in user.cgi dialog). Previously doing an action that explicitly set focus would already reset this focus issue (eg. compose, reply, forward, labels menu etc)
- Fix: Spellcheck "word correction menu" menu had border removed but shadow effect was not yet getting added.
- Fix: Reply actions (mark replied, moved to done folder etc) to messages listed in a folder based search (searches with folder column displayed) were getting applied to the wrong message. (first message in folder rather than the correct message)
- Fix: Labels menu was displaying "undefined"
- Fix: Labels menu was broken until you logged in again if you opened the labels menu on an account with no labels, closed the labels menu without creating a label and tried to open the labels menu again.
- Fix: Using 'ajax panel look' with borders, a gap appeared between top and left edges of dialog boxes and the shadow effect.
- Fix: Crash if another IMAP client had set custom IMAP labels before surgeweb had ever seen a folder and there were more than 200 messages in the folder in question.

Mon 6 July 2009: Beta version 4.0w-1

- New: Quota information gets displayed in basic interface too
- New: always_show_quota setting to allow quota to be displayed in interface if <80% of quota is being used
- New: Ability to create, delete and rename folders from the right click context menu on folders in left panel
- New: Changes to surgeweb's "spam" / "notspam" reporting. All combinations listed now do spam training. Spam training now works without the use of "g_imap_friends". (g_imap_friends is still required to view and deal with surgeweb's "Spam" folder)
- New: Menus prettified with shadows
- New: Message "copy/move to folder" menu is "searchable" for a specific folder now & keyboard navigable too (just like the Labels menu already was)
- New: (non surgeweb) status_html.eml status message is more complete (logging more complete, and now has "Block" link - report as spam and add address to usercgi block list)
- New: Closer integration between "quick search" and "folder search", see help . Menu selecting them is remembered as a preferences and defaults to Quicksearch again.
- Fix: Basic & Mobile interface "sent" folders were listing from address rather than to address
- Fix: "Challenge unknown senders" configure link had been broken some weeks back, although was going unnoticed in some browsers
- Fix: Tidied some of the warnings and error messages

Tue 23 June 2009: Specials version 4.0v-22

- Fix: "Tamed" the "folder count updated" message added yesterday that was getting displayed more often than intended
- Fix: Crash when doing notspam action in inbox (introduced a few days back)

- New: Ability to set read confirmation / delivery confirmation requests when editing messages for sending
- New: Unread message count display gets refreshed for all folders at login and every 10 minutes during a session
- New: Folder context menu that allows manual folder refresh of one or all folders (downloading headers for searching and flags if they have been set with another mail client)
- New: "Extra imap refreshes" setting works and does full flags update periodically (folder click requiring full update on large folders may be noticeably slower particularly on busy server)
- New: Slightly changed the way the flags updates get done making it faster 99% of the time
- Fix: To the way surgemail does its new mail check which sometimes meant that clicking folders shortly after login would not show new messages for up to 15 seconds sometimes
- Fix: Arrow key based message selection got reset after clicking message when message list spanning multiple folders was displayed
- Fix: Made background gradient prettier
- Fix: To the use of labelling on non surgemail IMAP servers

Sat 20 June 2009: Specials version 4.0v-20

- New: "Send >>Done" is now actioned as a single html request rather than two separate html requests.
- New: More sensible handling of the default flags created by other IMAP mail client (spam flags get hidden and recognised flags get initialised with label text and colours) and more functional "mail client mapping" on flags management page.
- Fix: Labels search in menu only applies to start of label string
- Fix: Occasional redbox "unknown javascript errors" when sending from popup windows after pressing the reply button within the popup window (fixed I think, as I was not able to repeat the fault myself)
- Fix: Label creation through menu "lower cased" the whole labelname (fix part two)

Fri 19 June 2009: Specials version 4.0v-19

- Fix: Label creation through menu "lower cased" the whole labelname
- Fix: Selection handling in message list when creating labels was confusing
- Fix: Message move to folder button / more actions menu was no longer working (broken with implementation of labels menu)
- Fix: Friend pending silent mode messages were not getting purged at g_friends_pending_keep days

- Fix: Labels color picker tidied

Wed 17 June 2009: Specials version 4.0v-18

- Fix: Messages copied to Sent folder when sending have unread status. (broken with labels implementation in 4.0v-17)

Wed 17 June 2009: Specials version 4.0v-17

- New: Full surgeweb message labelling (compatible with other IMAP clients) implemented. Allows multiple labels per message stored as imap flags or message headers. For more info see online help
- Fix: About four fixes to existing functionality not related to message labelling that I came across during development. Primarily related to searching and character encoding.

Wed 10 June 2009: Specials version 4.0v-14

- Fix: Much improved the dropdown autocompletion speed for popup message windows under IE
- Fix: Fixed a deadlock situation where a particular failed IMAP command would prevent further surgeweb index file updates for that folder until surgemail was restarted
- Fix: Reply button on popup message windows was no longer working (broken 4.0v-11)
