Change Log

All notable changes to aerc will be documented in this file. The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

Unreleased

Fixed

• :pipe -m git am -3 on patch series when Message-Id headers have not been generated by git send-email.

0.13.0 - 2022-10-20

Added

• Support for bindings with the Alt modifier.
• Zoxide support with :z.
• Hide local timezone with send-as-utc = true in accounts.conf.
• Persistent command history in ~/.cache/aerc/history.
• Cursor shape support in embedded terminals.
• Bracketed paste support.
• Display current directory in status-line.render-format with %p.
• Change accounts while composing a message with :switch-account.
• Override :open handler on a per-MIME-type basis in aerc.conf.
• Specify opener as the first :open param instead of always using default handler (i.e. :open gimp to open attachment in GIMP).
• Restored XOAUTH2 support for IMAP and SMTP.
• Support for attaching files with mailto:-links
• Filter commands now have the AERC_MIME_TYPE and AERC_FILENAME variables defined in their environment.
• Warn before sending emails that may need an attachment with no-attachment-warning in aerc.conf.
• 3 panel view via :split and :vsplit
• Configure dynamic date format for the message viewer with message-view-this-*-time-format.
• View message without marking it as seen with :view -p.

Changed

• :open-link now supports link types other than HTTP(S)
• Running the same command multiple times only adds one entry to the command history.
• Embedded terminal backend (libvterm was replaced by a pure go implementation).
• Filter commands are now executed with :~/.config/aerc/filters:~/.local/share/aerc/filters:$PREFIX/share/aerc/filters:/usr/share/aerc/filters appended to the exec PATH. This allows referencing aerc's built-in filter scripts from their name only.

Fixed

• :open-link will now detect links containing an exclamation mark
• outgoing-cred-cmd will no longer be executed every time an email needs to be sent. The output will be stored until aerc is shut down. This behaviour can be disabled by setting outgoing-cred-cmd-cache=false in accounts.conf.
• Mouse support for embedded editors when mouse-enabled=true.
• Numerous race conditions.

0.12.0 - 2022-09-01

• Set default collapse depth of directory tree with dirlist-collapse.

Changed

• Aerc will no longer exit while a send is in progress.
• When scrolling through large folders, client side threading is now debounced to avoid lagging. This can be configured with client-threads-delay.
• The provided awk filters are now POSIX compliant and should work on MacOS and BSD.
• outgoing-cred-cmd execution is now deferred until a message needs to be sent.
• next-message-on-delete now also applies to :archive.

Fixed

Changed

• The filters have been rewritten in awk, dropping the Python dependencies. w3m and dante are both still required for HTML email, but the HTML filter has been commented out in the default config file.
• The default keybindings and configuration options have changed considerably, and users are encouraged to pull the latest versions out of /usr/share and re-apply their modifications to them, or to at least review the diff with their current configurations. aerc may not behave properly without taking this into account.
