We have forums again! and we have upgraded to a better open source package than the home grown solution we were using. I don't know if I can import the existing posts but will try to. You will have to sign up for an account to post, but that is just to keep spammers away (hopefully!). We also have a new site design which was long overdue since the style has not been altered since the site first launched. The mantis bug tracker has also been updated to the latest version and both it and the forums have been integrated into the new design. Thanks to my employer's generous policy of allowing software engineers one day a year to dedicate themselves to open source projects I was able to take a paid day off from work and get all these improvements in place!

RC2 is out with a handful of improvements but most importantly some security fixes. We want to thank Bruno Teixeira for disclosing these. It is recommended that all users upgrade to mitigate any potential problems. You can read more about the specific issues at our security page. Here is the short change log since RC1:
The first release candidate for the next stable version of Hastymail2 is now available. There are a few more fixes since the last news update and still two known issues to resolve. The known issues are a display related problem with IE9 and certain themes, and a problem with the auto-save draft feature on the compose page with the EIMS IMAP server. We encourage all users to upgrade to this version as it has tons of fixes and improvements over the last stable release. Once the known issues are resolved, and assuming nothing new comes up, we will package up the final 1.1 version. Below are the changes since the last news post and a link to the release downloads:
I honestly can't believe it's been over 300 days since the last stable release. Development has been busy and as always I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to provide feedback. The change log since 1.01 was released is massive and includes a ton of fixes and improvements. We have some cool new plugins like a select range plugin that lets you use shift-click to quickly select multiple messages, and a message tags plugin that lets you organize your mail using tags. There are a couple of new themes as well, one of which provides a significantly different look. I plan to get a release candidate packaged up soon and if things look good an official release shortly after. Below is the full list of changes and a few screen shots.
We have a new stable release available to address a recently discovered cross site scripting issue. The only change to the code over the 1.0 release is this specific fix. It's unfortunate to have a security issue pop up so soon after the first stable release, but it does indicate that we are getting some increased publicity (sourceforge stats support this also). Having people searching for flaws in our code really helps us make Hastymail2 more secure. Read on for details of the specific issue and what can be done to resolve the problem.
We are happy to announce the immediate availability of the first stable release of Hastymail2. It has taken almost 3 years of development to reach this point and we are excited about the state of the project. Thanks to everyone who has supported us with testing and feedback. Development does not stop here, actually we already have some pretty cool stuff in the works. Here is the full change log since the RC9 release, as well as some interesting summary numbers about the project and it's development:
Things are really shaping up in SVN as we finalize the code for our first stable release. Many bugs have been addressed and a few small features added. Lots of fine tuning has been going on all over the code base. The plugin API documentation has been updated to include all the latest hooks and methods. The themes have had some clean up and we have a new theme called "moss" (screenshot below). TinyMCE, Soundmanager2, and htmLawed have been updated to their latest versions. Here is the full list of what's new since the last update:
Development has been busy since the last release, thanks to everyone who has supported the project through feedback. We have a lot of improvements and updates in SVN, enough that things need to settle for a week or two so any regressions can be identified. Overall things are looking good and we are on track for the next release being the first officially stable version. Here are the details of whats new since the last release:
It's hard to believe that 98 days have passed since the last Hastymail2 release, but development has been very active during this time. We are happy to announce that the ninth release candidate is now available for download from Sourceforge:
This WILL be the last of the release candidates. The next release will be our first stable package, and unless something really unexpected comes up I think the code in the first stable release will be very similar to this one. Thanks as always to everyone who supports the project. Here is the full list of changes and additions since RC8 came out:
