Beam Version History   Go back to the Beam Page Original:   Version 1.1.2  License:   GPL  Updated:   March 27, 2008  Source:   Source Available By Request Beam 1.1.2 is a bugfix and maintenance release, with the following changes: added a warning before a mail without any subject is being sent turned a couple of logged errors into proper alerts, as they deserve that kind of attention (mail fields missing values) fixed a really bad bug that caused problems with mails that contained 0xA0 as part of UTF-8 sequences cleaned up (i.e. removed) several options for the SPAM-filter, as they should all be switched on at all times anyway added one more option that allows the user to select whether or not the SPAM-filter should stop processing the filter chain for mails considered SPAM used the free space in the SPAM-filter GUI to rearrange the options more pleasingly (for my liking, at least) fixed bug causing infinite flooding with change messages for ListID textcontrol, causing havoc and sometimes even crashes Fixed problematic copying of mail-header when copying mails (Edit As New...), which could lead to problems when the mail is being sent to a mailing list (that would be fooled into thinking the mail looped). Now we rebuild the mail header based only on the basic fields (Bcc, Cc, From, Reply-To, Subject, To). minor improvement with respect to handling of List-Post field when trying to determine the list address. when replying to a list, we now pay attention to the reply-to field, as this is required when a list redirects replies to another list added support for changing the shortcuts of a toolbar on-the-fly added two missing shortcuts (I am pretty sure more are missing) replaced very unreliable way of matching against identity aliases by a much more robust way. The basic idea was insane, as mails with mail-addresses that could not be used as regex would cause Beam to fail downloading this and any other mail from that specific account, doh! minor bugfix related to case-insensitivity of IMAP server responses fixed bug with SMTP not working when the user requests no authentication at all. adjusted POP3 and IMAP along the same lines, i.e. to work without authentication (although it is much more unlikely that this will ever be used). added support for setting the List-Id from within a matching filter. This is very handy in order to force mails to have come from specific lists (which sometimes is not the case if people do multiposting and the like). fixed bug with LearnAsSpam/Tofu-control not being usable at all applied several changes towards a more consistent style of GUI text (esp. considering the case style of labels) put the MailConverter-tool (which adds attributes to mail files that have come from non-BFS-partitions) back into a working state fixed problem when adding more than one mail-address via the address-popup (e.g. a group) improved handling of people files that have incomplete/inconsistent data fixed a crashing bug when editing the headers of a mail editing the subject now updates the window title, as it should replying to a mail that has more than one recipient automatically selects reply-to-all (unless reply-to-person has been selected explicitly) fixed endless loop in wrapping code that could be triggered by unusual amounts of whitespace (80 chars) in one line Intel Version - requires R5   (1.55 MB) 168 downloads   Download BONE   Download R5 PowerPC Version - requires R5   (962 KB) 52 downloads   Download PPC Version 1-1  License:   GPL  Updated:   May 27, 2006  Source:   Source Available By Request As it's been two and a half years since the last release, I can't remember all changes, but here's a list of some of them: Beam now offers a SPAM-filter. When writing mails, there now is auto-completion of addresses and it is now possible to create people files from the mail addresses contained in the mail. Beam has been integrated with Zeta such that it supports some features only available on that platform (e.g. ui-colors). Beam now supports secure transport by means of OpenSSL. Just make sure that OpenSSL is installed on your system and Beam should automatically make use of it if the mail-servers support it. There now is support for IMAP. Beam implements a fetcher of all new mail in the inbox only (aka IMAP-as-POP), but hey, it's a start ;o) ...and a lot of other usability enhancements and bugfixes have been included.

You can create and edit filters graphically or enter the SIEVE-script manually. Filters can be applied to inbound and outbound mail and you can filter the mails you have already downloaded, too. When writing mails, it is now possible to select to/cc/bcc-addresses from your people files. Just pick them from the structured popup-menu. Beam now supports identities, i.e. it separated the personal info (Name, mail-address, signature) from the network info (server, usename and password). Identities make it possible to use different personalities (like private / work) for one mail-account (i.e. Beam will automatically use the correct mail-address for a reply). Beam now runs on PPC. Basic support for mailing-lists is implemented, Beam tries to be smart about replying to lists and you can choose to reply-to-list or reply-to-person manually. The performance and memory-footprint for large mails has been improved. When replying to / forwarding multiple mails, you can now make Beam join all mails into one, join them by recipient or keep them separated. libiconv is now used for character-conversion, so now a lot more encodings are supported by Beam. charset mismatches are now automatically detected and Beam tells you where they occured and what to do about them. support for swatch internet time has been added. ...and a lot of other usability enhancements and bugfixes have been included.

Beam now handles empty group-lists (like "Undisclosed-Recipients:;" correctly finally found a way to let Beam delete messages no matter what Tracker is running (LocaleTracker, OpenTracker or R5-Tracker) Beam no longer complains about disappearing files during node-monitoring (this is especially useful when your system is running MDR2b4, which would trigger a lot of complaints in Beam 0.913) removed two compiler switches (-no-pic and -fomit-frame-pointer) that were supposedly used to optimize code-generation, but in fact were responsible for random but severe crashes with completely corrupted stack-crawls Any Processor - requires R5   (582 KB) 169 downloads   Download Source (for both R5 and Bone/Dano) Intel Version - requires R5   (769 KB) 291 downloads   Download Zip   Download Package Version 0.913  License:   GPL  Updated:   November 15, 2002  Source:   Source Available I had a couple of months off, since I moved into a new flat, but now I'm back on track developing Beam. This is a bugfix release, so there is NO MAIL-FILTERING yet, sorry. 2-byte encodings (like iso-2022-jp) are handled more reliably now handling of cached mails is much faster MailView now supports unlimited undo/redo preference-dialogs work better now encoding-problems within signatures are fixed now Beam now has a real deskbar-item (which does not crash the original R5 deskbar) dynamic signatures are now interpreted as a shell-script, not as one single command replaced BeOS-native base64-functions by the ones from MDR (which do not seem to crash) split Beam into two seperate projects for R5 and BONE/Dano and many other (minor) bugfixes, usability and GUI-enhancements (see changes.txt) Intel Version - requires R5   (779 KB) 258 downloads   Download Primary Location Version 0.912  License:   GPL  Updated:   April 14, 2002  Source:   Source Available better support for forwarding & replying to multiple messages at once, now you can choose whether or not to join the messages. added support for printing one or more messages. corrected some MIME-problems, increasing robustness and eliminating the compatibility-problems Beam had with other mail-programs (like Mail-It or Eudora). These programs now accept Beam-generated MIME-messages, including quoted-printables and attachments. doubleclicking a folder now opens the corresponding Tracker-window. deactivating the Desktop-icon does work now. added configurable delay before a shown mail is being marked as read. added option for using 8-bit-mime when constructing mails. added an option to switch between soft/hard-wrapping of the mailtext (Beam always used soft-wrapping before). when requested, Beam can now contact a POP3/SMTP-server and suggest the best (most "secure") authentication type. and other (minor) bugfixes, usability and GUI-enhancements. Note: This release should be the last of the 0.91x series. The next version (0.92) will contain mail-filtering.

If Beam crashes right upon startup, this version should fix things.

So now here we go: header-view contents are now selectable and draggable. added support for redirecting mails. signature support added (for static and dynamic signatures). added automatic mail-checking (every xx minutes). all shortcuts are now configurable via prefs. added better quoting-modes (simple, push-margin and auto-wrap) in order to reduce comb-like effect. added tooltips to all preferences-controls, which is one step on the way to better usability (but online-help is still missing). added a Deskbar-icon that indicates the presence of new mail. (This seems to constantly crash the R5 Deskbar, but it works for OpenTracker & Dano versions...) Display-font can now be selected when viewing/editing mails. added option to show in- & out-folders always at top. Beam should now work under Dano (BeOS 5.1), since I do not use Dano on a daily basis, your mileage may vary, but it *should* work. Beam can now set itself up as preferred email application. Beam now correctly shows BeOS standard-icons for mails, if it is preferred app. many more bugfixes, increased stability and other little improvements.

Being in a hurry to get 0.902 out of the door, I left Beam complaining about missing prefs-field 'BeMailStyle'. Fixed now. Sorry about that, people! If you have already downloaded Beam 0.902, just delete the file 'General Settings' in Beam's settings folder and the message should disappear. Removing this file will not harm your account-settings.

In this case, Beam now uses host/domain info from network settings-file. preferences window is now moved to front when a user tries to open it twice (instead of crashing, as before). recreating a mailfolder-cache now works. new prefs-flag that selects BeMail-compatible shortcuts. when a new node has been detected and seems to have zero size, we assume that an application is creating the mail-file directly inside the in-folder. In this case, we snooze for a short amount of time and then proceed to read the file, which hopefully is now completely written. This is no complete solution, but I hope that this will increase compatibility with MailDaemonReplacement and other programs. removed crashing bug when wildly moving through mailfolder-view. disabled selecting and invoking for the dummy-mailrefview used in prefs. make the reply-mode with selected text work (only selected text will be included in reply). fixed a couple of smaller redraw/layout issues dropped liblayout.so from the archive Intel Version - requires R5   (533 KB) 121 downloads   Download Primary Location Source Code - requires R5   (469 KB) 47 downloads   Download Primary Location Version 0.90  License:   GPL  Updated:   February 19, 2002  Source:   Source Available first public release, considered beta quality (usable but may contain a few glitches).
