--------------------------------

The pre-release 0.0.4 can be found here:
http://tinymail.org/files/releases/pre-releases/v0.0.4


Sergio Villar Senin  <svillar igalia com>:

 * libtinymail-maemo/tny-maemo-conic-device.c:
   (tny_maemo_conic_device_connect): 
   (tny_maemo_conic_device_connect_async): added a new parametter
   called user_requested that specifies whether or not the connection
   was requested by an user or by an automatic system (like a daemon).
   This allows the connection not to succed when the device is
   sleeping.
 * libtinymail-maemo/tny-maemo-conic-device.c: 
   Added a new API to allow asynchronous connections in the Maemo conic
   device. This patch is a new version of an initial patch developed by
   pvanhoof with some changes. Splitted the Maemo connic device in two
   files, one for the actual device and the other one for a dummy device
   (useful for sbox devel) Fixed a problem when linking the maemo conic
   device.

Philip Van Hoof  <pvanhoof gnome org>:

 * Updating attachment flags after downloading of message
 * Bugfix, bug detected by Milan Crha (alloc must be a alloc0)
 * Fixed a crasher
 * Changed a hard reference into a weak reference, although I'm not
   sure that this was necessary.
 * Fixed two bugs: first that for transport-account the
   tny_camel_account_set_online's callback was never called for, second
   that the TnyCamelSendQueue was making TnyCamelFolder crash since
   yesterday's reference count fixes
 * Weak references for TnyHeader instances in TnyCamelMsgHeader
 * Reference counting mistakes in TnyGtkFolderStoreTreeModel
 * Reference counting mistakes in TnyGtkAccountListModel
 * Tryout lockup fix

Matthew Barnes  <mbarnes redhat com>:

 * Mark a bunch exception messages for translation.
 * A few new argument guards here and there (e.g. g_return_if_fail).
 * Tons of little whitespace and coding style fixes.

Vivek Sekar  <viveksekar gmail com>:

 * Renamed the control files with respect to the new maemo versions.

Jose Dapena Paz  <jdapena igalia com>:

 * libtinymail-camel/tny-camel-common.c: (split_recipients): now we
   strip the obtained addresses to avoid adding unmeaningful spaces to
   addresses.
