* The configuration option, "Don't popup error dialog on receive error"
has been changed to "Show error dialog on receive error". Your previous
choice will be automatically changed to the new format.
* The option "Warn when pasting files as attachments" has been added to
the Compose/Writing preferences page. This option was previously
hidden.
* chmod 0600 is now set on *history files in the configuration directory.
* A new preference has been added to enable setting the chmod value of
saved attachments: "Save attachments with chmod [ ]", found on the
Other/Miscelleanous preferences page. The default value is 600.
* The creation and updating of .mh_sequences files in MH mailbox folders
is now optional and disabled by default. This is controlled by a new
hidden preference, mh_compat_mode. If you were previously relying on
this feature, set mh_compat_mode=1 in clawsrc before running this
version.
* A new hidden preference has been added, passphrase_dialog_msg_title_switch.
This switches the placement of the dialogue message with the dialogue
title in the passphrase dialogue. This can be useful for interacting with
third-party programs such as KeePassXC.

set custom hotkeys for any items in this menu you will need to re-set
them.
