K-9 Mail 2.000 for Android
I'm pleased to announce the release of K-9 Mail version 2.000. This release represents several months of development and about 7000 lines of code changes.
The biggest "exciting new thing" in this release is Dan Applebaum's work to bring us true Push Mail using IMAP IDLE. I've been using it for about a month now and can no longer live without it. On top of that, we've closed about 50 bugs across all aspects of the application. I've included a list of bugs known to be resolved, as well as an abbreviated change list below.
You can download K-9 2.0 from the Android market. (There's a good chance that you're already using a 2.0 release candidate if you've been regularly updating K-9 from the market.)
As always, we welcome your feedback. The best place to report issues is at http://k9mail.googlecode.com. The best place to discuss K-9 is the k-9-mail mailinglist at http://groups.google.com/group/k-9-mail
