The release of the Geary email client 46.0 has been published, aimed at use in the GNOME environment. The project was initially founded by the Yorba Foundation, creators of the popular photo manager Shotwell, but later development shifted to the GNOME community. The code is written in Vala and is distributed under the LGPL license. Ready-to-use builds will be prepared soon in the form of a standalone flatpak package.
The goal of the project's development is to create a feature-rich product that is extremely easy to use and consumes minimal resources. The email client is designed for both standalone use and for working alongside web-based email services such as Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. The interface is implemented using the GTK3+ library. An SQLite database is used to store the message base, and a full-text index is created for searching through messages. For working with IMAP, a GObject-based library operates in asynchronous mode (email loading operations do not block the interface).
In the new version, notification messages have been simplified, navigation issues have been resolved, message delivery continues after data transfer errors, accurate counting of unread messages has been established, translations have been updated, and minor improvements have been made to the interface.
