[announce] DIMP H3 (1.0.1-RC1)

[slusarz at horde.org]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the
Dynamic Internet Messaging Program (DIMP) version H3 (1.0.1).

DIMP (Dynamic Internet Messaging Program, or Dynamic IMP) is a PHP-based
webmail system and a component of the Horde project.  DIMP is a version of the
webmail client IMP utilizing AJAX-like technologies to allow a more dynamic
user experience than traditionally offered via IMP.

DIMP requires at least Horde version 3.2 and IMP version H3 (4.2) to run.
Although not required to upgrade either Horde or IMP, it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED you do as any bugfixes to core functionality will occur in
these applications.

Barring any problems, this code will be released as DIMP H3 (1.0.1).
Testing is requested and comments are encouraged.
Updated translations would also be great.

Major changes compared to the DIMP H3 (1.0) version are:
   * Improved UI for message list checkboxes.
   * Improved message list scrollbar.
   * Improved drag/drop javascript library, fixing several bugs and allowing
     the ability to move folders.
   * Fixed error when purging deleted messages.
   * Fixed buggy behavior on various browsers, including right-clicks on
     Firefox/Mac, mousewheel on Safari, various display issues on  
Opera 9.5, and
     dynamic resizing on IE 6.
   * Highlight search criteria text in message list.
   * Allow multiple compose/message popup windows to be open.
   * Added Brazilian Portuguese translation.
   * A large amount of bugfixes and performance/stability improvements.
