VDR Plugin 'Mailbox' Revision History -------------------------------------- 2014-10-26: Version 0.7.1 - All OsdMenus now set the MenuCategory - hopefully the correct ones :) - Modified the OsdMenu/MenuHelpKeys header-/inline files to work with newer gcc-compilers and makes plugin-compiler-flag "-O2" obsolete - Removed -O2 compiler option - Added mailbox-gtft.patch to improve cooperation with the Graphtft(Ng) plugin by adding the method MenuKind() to all OSD menus (patch provided by Jörg Wendel) 2013-03-21: Version 0.7.0 - Adapted Makefile for vdr >= 1.7.41. For vdr <= 1.7.33 use vdr-mailbox-0.6.0. The plugin may not work for versions between 1.7.33 and 1.7.41. - removed vdr-version dependent compilation: starting with version 0.7.0 the plugin is only tested with vdr >= 1.7.41 - Added compiler option -O2 to the Makefile to avoid "undefined symbol: Ax::VDR::OsdMenuBase::clearStatusMsg()" when starting vdr - code cleanup to remove some compiler warnings and to adapt coding conventions - cache the texts of the color buttons and status messages - Disabled some debug output - Updated Italian language texts (Thanks to Diego Pierotto, 2008-08-15) 2008-08-15: Version 0.6.0 - License: included GPL note "v2 or any later" to README. - Restricted the maximum interval for the background check to 35 minutes due to a bug in GetAbsTime() in vdr-1.4.7, 1.6.0 and 1.7.0. If the interval for the background check was set to an interval of 36 minutes or more, the plugin caused high cpu-load and hangup of vdr. If the bug was corrected in vdr *OR* the patch vdr-1.6.0-GetAbsTime-fix.diff in the patches subdirectory was applied to the sources of vdr, the usable interval may be increased with the parameter "-i ". - Pressing key 'Info' (or key '0' as before) displays online help for key mappings. - Added Italian language texts (Thanks to Diego Pierotto) - Added setup option for mail accounts of type INBOX which refers to the primary incoming message mailbox on the local system. Note: Selecting account type INBOX is equivalent to selecting type "User defined" and using "INBOX" as mailbox-string. - Mail accounts of type "User defined" may be used without a user name. (Reported by Torsten Weigelt) - Fixed saving the connection timeout to setup.conf. 2007-11-17: Version 0.5.2-pre3 - Added service call "MailBox-GetTotalUnseen-1.0" 2007-10-28: Version 0.5.2-pre2 - In mail-view the key '8' displays all parts of MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE mails. 2007-10-25: Version 0.5.2-pre1 - Pass the source of HTML-only mails to an external program to convert HTML to plain text and display the result. For mails with MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE only plain text parts are displayed. The plugin must be started with parameter '-c /path/to/mailconv.sh'; see README for further information. 2007-10-21: Version 0.5.0 - Added support for the new i18n system of vdr >= 1.5.7 - Check the used charset with cCharSetConv::SystemCharacterTable() when using vdr >= 1.5.3 - Added French language texts (thanks to Patrice Staudt) - Added call to cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem to make the message body visible with graphlcd/graphtft. - Added call cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() whenn scolling up/down in mail-view. - Added workaround for imap-servers not reporting attribute "charset=.." in "Content-Type:" lines. If charset is missing ISO-8859-1 is used. 2006-06-11: Version 0.4.0 - Version 0.4.0 released 2006-06-10: Version 0.4.0-pre3 - Added a remark about the required version of the c-client-library to the INSTALL file: Version 2004 of the c-client library is required. The plugin was developed with version 2004a of the library (contained in imap-2004a.tar.Z). The current version 2004g may work too, but was not tested by the author. - Added option to mail account settings to specify if new mails in the mail account should influence the state delivered by the internal service call which could be used e.g. to display a mail icon in replay and channel info. - Allow ':' in the hostname of mail accounts. - Added '-fPIC' to CXXFLAGS in Makefile (Suggested by Thomas Günther) - Fixed a bug which was introduced in pre2 which caused the background thread to display the message "New mail in XXX, open?" after every check. (Reported by Thomas Günther) 2006-06-05: Version 0.4.0-pre2 - Developed and tested with vdr-1.4.0 with Gentoo-Linux/gcc-3.4.6 - Update the color buttons when selecting another mail according to the status flags. - Avoid some warnings about missing translations for the keys 0..9 in the help screen. - The setting of vdr 'OSDMessageTime' is now used as the time to display the osd message "new mail in ..., open?". (Suggested by Ronny Kornexl) - Fixed some issues with gcc 3.2 (Thanks to Stephan Sachse for providing the patch) 2006-05-20: Version 0.4.0-pre1 - Developed and tested with vdr-1.4.0 with Gentoo-Linux/gcc-3.4.5 - Adopted changes to the Makefile as required since vdr-1.3.47 - Added a service-call "MailBox-HasNewMail-1.0" to allow other plugins to query if there is at least one new mail present. This call doesn't query the mail accounts at the mail server, instead it simply returns the currently known status for those accounts which have enabled the periodic check. There will be a patch for the Elchi-skin to use this call to (optionally) display a mail icon in the replay and channel info. - Added a new configuration option to the common settings to setup the connection timeout. A value of 0 uses the system default. A reasonable value would be somewhat smaller than the watchdog timeout of vdr (option -w when starting vdr). The default setting is 0. - Added new configuration option for every mail account to display an OSD message when unread mail is present. Pressing OK while the message is visible opens the mail account. It isn't necessary any more to use the external mailcmd.sh to simply display the "new mail in ..." message on the OSD. The feature of the external mailcmd.sh is still available and may be used for other ways to signal the arrival of new mail, e.g. switching on some LEDs. - Added new configuration option for every mail account to display the number of unseen mails in the main-menu entry of the plugin. - If necessary the plugin converts the mail (subject & body) using iconv from the charset used in the mail to the charset used by vdr. - Mail parts encoded in Base64 are decoded and displayed. - The Plugin now queries the width and font of the text area to make a nice word-wrapping (especially when wrapping quoted text). To use this feature, the skin has to implement the methods cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont() as the standard-skins Classic & ST:TNG and the Elchi-skin currently do. - The mail account passwords are now stored in an obscured way in the file accounts.conf. Note: There is is no real encryption; it is just to make the passwords difficult to read for humans. The warning from the README is still valid: ATTENTION: The account settings are stored in a plain text file in a directory 'plugins/mailbox' below the directory where vdr stores its setup files. The file will be created with umask 0x600, therefore only the user which executes vdr is able to read this file. If you consider this insecure, don't use this plugin. - Added a key in the Mailbox-View to refresh a single mailbox. - Added a new OSD-menu to display the communication log for accounts which have debugging enabled. The log is reachable in the following views: - Mailbox-View - Configuration of a mail account - IMAP folder selection view - Corrected a bug which caused that sometimes the last lines of mails were missing. - The background check for new mail is now stopped in the cPlugin::Stop() method of the plugin (according to the HISTORY of vdr-1.3.20) - Added a help-screen to all OSD-menus which displays a generated list of valid keys/actions. The help-screen is (currently) reachable with key 0 (if no element is active, which consumes the key 0). - Actions that aren't supported for the current account type aren't visible (e.g. setting the flag "/FLAGGED" or "/SEEN" for POP3 accounts) - Key-handling in the configuration menus is now similar to editing channels in vdr - Changed the configuration menus for mail accounts - several separate options instead of the long mailbox-string - accounts can now be duplicated - accounts can be tested directly within the configuration dialog - reordering of mail accounts is now possible - Completely restructured the OSD- and key-handling in all OSD menus. - Corrected a bug when fetching multipart mails. - More characters are usable for user name, password and account name. (Thanks to Peter Herold for reporting this one.) - Use proportial font to display the mail text instead of monospaced (DisplayMenu()->SetText(..., false)) - When started the Mailbox-View calls Display() before all mail accounts are checked - otherwise the status-message ("Checking mailbox xxx") is displayed below the main menu of vdr. (Thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting this one.) 2004-05-31: Version 0.3.0 - Supports VDR-1.3.8 and 1.3.9, vdr-versions <= 1.3.6 are no longer supported, 1.3.7 not checked (therefore the version bump to 0.3.x) - Removed the improved word wrapping and the font selection due to the changes in OSD-handling (skins) of vdr. - Corrected an error in decoding encoded words ('=?..?..?=') - Access restrictions: it is now possible to assign a numerical code to every mailbox and to configure if this code is necessary to enter the settings or even the mail view. - Removed the conditional compilation for the ElchiAIO-patch. - Introduced a small performance improvement when selecting another mail. - Limited the maximum number of mails to download to a configurable number to improve usability with big mail folders (until a 'fetch-mails-on- demand' or a 'fetch-only-unread' feature is implemented). The default maximum number is 100; 0 disables this feature. (Suggested by Frank Herrmann.) 2004-01-24: Version 0.1.6 - Works with vdr-1.3.2, vdr-1.3.2-QuickAIO, vdr-1.2.6 and vdr-1.2.6-ElchiAIO3c. - A separate thread checks for new mail in the background and starts an external program if the number of mails has changed since the last check. - The interval is configurable in the common settings OSD. (0 disables background checking) - The background checking must be enabled/disabled for every mail account in the account settings - The external command is set with the command line parameter (e.g. '-m mailcmd.sh') for the plugin. mailcmd.sh is a sample bash-script which calls svrdpsend.pl to display a message on the OSD. - Mail-View: Improved word wrapping at OSD boundaries to improve readability. There are 4 modes/levels to adjust the word wrapping: (higher levels include the lower levels) 0: wrapping as before 1: when a quoted line (a line that starts with one or more '>') must be wrapped at the OSD boundaries, the same number of quote- characters are prepended to the second part of the wrapped line. 2: Lines that end with 'soft breaks' (SPACE + CRLF) in mail parts that have the parameter "format=flowed" set, are treated as 'flowed lines' and therefore concatenated with the following line (see RFC 2646). 3: Two lines are concatenated if the first line ends with a lower character ('a'-'z') and the following line starts with a lower character. This also works inside quoted paragraphs. The mode for word-wrapping can be globally adjusted in the common settings. The default-value is 2 as (the implementation of) this level is more or less compliant to a standard. The mode can be switched temporarily within Mail-View with the key 0. - MailList-View + Mail-View: added a second page of buttons to change the status flags: Seen, Flagged and Deleted. (The flags Seen and Flagged don't work with POP3 accounts) - MailList-View: display progress in the status line while reading mail headers - Mail-view: the separator lines of multipart mails are displayed in a different color and are not wrapped. - Mail-View: a simple scroll-bar is displayed on the right. - Mail-View: the number of lines which are scrolled with cursor-up and cursor-down is configurable (1..5) in the common settings OSD. 2003-12-25: Version 0.1.4 - Fixed an illegal memory access that produced a segmentation fault when pressing Menu in MailList-View or Mail-View. (Reported by Peter Siering.) - Added installation notes for RedHat 7.3 (Thanks to Malcolm Caldwell.) 2003-12-22: Version 0.1.2 - Inverted the sort order in MailList-View that new mails are at the top (configurable) (Suggested by several users) - Updated the number of new and the total number of mails when returning from MailList-View to Mailbox-View. - Introduced new function "Refresh all" [Blue] in 'mailbox view' to refresh the number of new and the total number of mails. - Use a small font for 'mailbox view', 'mail list view' and 'mail view' if vdr is patched with ElchiAIO3c. (configurable) - Solved a display problem in 'mail list view' where the current mail wasn't visible. The patch ./patches/vdr-1.2.6-osdmenufix.diff needs to be applied to vdr. (The patch also works for vdr-1.2.6 with ElchiAIO3c.) - Improved the diagnostic output, see the section 'Troubleshooting' in the INSTALL file. - Added the ability to decode encoded-words ('=?ISO-8859-1?Q?...?=') in 'Subject' and 'From'-lines. (works for all characters of 'ISO-8859-1', almost complete for 'ISO-8859-15' (8 chars missing), 'Windows-1252' (16 chars missing) and the other 'ISO-8559-*' (only first 126 characters supported. All other encodings are not touched (~0.5% of all mails to vdr-ml since 03/2002). - Improved that parts of the subject are not displayed behind the sender, if the subject-string is very long and the sender-string is very short. - Mail-list-view now displays four imap-state flags 'NFAD' (New, Flagged, Answered, Deleted) in front of the subject. - Removed the '\recent' flag completely (from the OSD), as for POP3 accounts the \recent flag is always set and for IMAP accounts the flag isn't very useful (for reading mails). - Renamed several classes for a consistent naming sheme (and to be consistent with the names in the README). - Added sections 'Troubleshooting' and 'FAQ' to the INSTALL file. - Updated/modified the comments for Debian / Gentoo / SuSE (Thanks for the feedback). - Added clarification regarding the compile error about the missing linkage.c (Thanks to Mark Crispin). - Separated the installation instructions from the README into a separate file INSTALL. 2003-12-05: Version 0.1.0 - first public release 2003-11-xx: Versions < 0.1.0 for internal use only
