Hi all,
we are pleased to announce version 0.5 of Trojitá, a fast Qt IMAP e-mail client. More than 500 changes went in since the previous release, so the following list highlights just a few of them:

• Trojitá can now be invoked with a mailto: URL (RFC 6068) on the command line for composing a new email.
• Messages can be forwarded as attachments (support for inline forwarding is planned).
• Passwords can be remembered in a secure, encrypted storage via QtKeychain.
• E-mails with attachments are decorated with a paperclip icon in the overview.
• Better rendering of e-mails with extraordinary MIME structure.
• By default, only one instance is kept running, and can be controlled via D-Bus.
• Trojitá now provides better error reporting, and can reconnect on network failures automatically.
• The network state (Offline, Expensive Connection or Free Access) will be remembered across sessions.
• When replying, it is now possible to retroactively change the reply type (Private Reply, Reply to All but Me, Reply to All, Reply to Mailing List, Handpicked).
• When searching in a message, Trojitá will scroll to the current match.
• Attachment preview for quick access to the enclosed files.
• The mark-message-read-after-X-seconds setting is now configurable.
• The IMAP refresh interval is now configurable.
• Speed and memory consumption improvements.
• Miscellaneous IMAP improvements.
• Various fixes and improvements.
• We have increased our test coverage, and are now making use of an improved Continuous Integration setup with pre-commit patch testing.

This release has been tagged in git as "v0.5". You can also download a tarball (GPG signature). Prebuilt binaries for multiple distributions are available via the OBS, and so is a Windows installer.

We would like to thank Karan Luthra and Stephan Platz for their efforts during Google Summer of Code 2014.
