What's New in Evolution 1.4

If you're already familiar with Ximian Evolution 1.2, there are a number of new features in this version. Most of the changes, however, have been made behind the scenes, as we moved to the GNOME 2 platform. Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange also has new features, described in the Section called What's New in Connector 1.4 in the chapter called The Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange. You can find a complete list of bugs fixed and features added in the Evolution release notes at the Ximian Developer Website. Some of the features include:

Better Fonts

Ximian Evolution 1.4 uses the same font smoothing technology as the rest of your GNOME 2 desktop.

Cleaner Shutdowns

We have fixed several bugs that caused Evolution to continue to occupy system resources when it was not running.

Mail Composer HTML Improvements

The message composer has continued to improve.

New Graphics and Icons

We've added new graphics and icons.
