A new version of the popular Geary open-source email client for GNU/Linux distributions has been made available for download earlier today, August 28, 2016.

Geary 0.11.2 is now the latest stable release of the email client used by default in the elementary OS distro and available in the software repositories of numerous other GNU/Linux operating systems, a maintenance update that promises to improve the display of RTL (Right-to-Left) emails and fix lots of other annoying bugs.

According to the internal changelog, Geary 0.11.2 is here to improve support for displaying Right-to-Left (RTL) email messages when the direction isn't set as RTL, as well as to update the composer to display Right-to-Left emails as RTL, and to no longer add double spaces after automatic completion of the email address.

Various encoding problems with non-ASCII, Latin-1, and UTF-8 email headers reported by users have been resolved in Geary 0.11.2, and there are also fixes for various crashes that will improve archiving or delete of certain emails, better support the tiscali.it and poste.it Dovecot email servers, and address window size settings.

More bug fixes, updated UI translations

Being mainly a bugfix release, Geary 0.11.2 also makes the maximized state keep its settings, improves the notification functionality, no longer relies on the icon of the Gedit text editor for the Draft folder, adds better support for non-Latin text in emails, and addresses various other critical warnings and errors reported since Geary 0.11.1.

Last but not least, Geary 0.11.2 is here to update multiple language translations, in particular, the Hungarian, Indonesian, Finnish, Czech, Portuguese, Serbian, Serbian Latin, Polish, Slovenian, Hindi, and Japanese ones. The Geary 0.11.2 sources are available for download right now via our website, but you should check the software repositories of your distribution for the updated version in the coming days.
