 * As the upstream web page explains, "Prayer was designed to work
-
 
9
   with the Washington IMAP server, which has the most problems
7
experimental distribution, was heavily patched to add UTF-8 and IPv6
10
   associated with transient IMAP connections. Consequently, the user

11
   interface distinguishes between mailboxes and directories: this will
-
 
12
   not work well with servers which provide dual use mail folders."

   A simple patch from Jonathan McDowell at least makes leaf folders

14
   be treated as folders.

 * This packaging adds IPv6 support. However, prayer-session uses
-
 
17
   libc-client to connect to the IMAP server, and IPv6 support can only 
-
 
18
   be achieved there by building with the version of libc-client
8
support among other things. All that has been incorporated and
19
   currently in experimental.

 * This packaging adds international character support, including

22
   encoding and decoding of modified-UTF-7-encoded folder

23
   names. However, the folder filter still works on the UTF-7 level,
-
 
24
   meaning, for example, that a "-" will match any folder with an 
-
 
25
   encoded character in it, since "-" is the shift-out character that

improved by upstream in 1.1.0. The remaining patches concern changes

28
   Where it was hardwired to ISO-8859-1 it has been re-wired to UTF-8,

29
   but I may have missed some spots and ISO-8859-1 is still the hardcoded
-
 
30
   fallback character set.

31
-
 
32
 * The decoding of RFC2047 encoded words has been relaxed, accommodating 
-
 
33
   to some common encoding errors: spaces are accepted in the encoded
10
to default configuration regarding directory structure, and minor
34
   text, as are overlong encoded words.

cosmetic changes to the folder list.
