After a year and a half of development, releases of a lung and fast mailing customer, Claws Mail 3.20 and 4.2.0, have been published. Claws Mail separated from the project Sylpheed in 2005, after developing jointly from 2001 to 2005. Claws Mail was used to test future innovations of Sylpheed. The Claws Mail interface is built using GTK and the code is spread under the GPL license. Branches 3.x and 4.x develop parallelly and differ in the version of the GTK library used: GTK2 in the 3.x branch and GTK3 in the 4.x branch.
