[Geary] Announcing Geary 0.2.1

[Jim Nelson]

We’re pleased to announce the release of Geary 0.2.1, Yorba’s lightweight email client. Geary organizes your email by conversations rather than threads and offers full HTML composition, attachments, and more. Geary is compatible with Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and most IMAP servers. It’s written in Vala and features a fully-asynchronous engine for sending and receiving email.

Features and improvements for this release include:

* Save attachments FileChooserDialog now displays network mounts
* Adds support for SMTP PLAIN authentication
* Installs Italian translation (overlooked in 0.2.0)
* Adds three new translations: Czech, Telugu, and Turkish
* Preferences dialog and .desktop file now translated
* Icon and desktop file cache updated after uninstall
* Various translation fixes, including translations not being displayed
