[Dovecot-news] Released Pigeonhole Sieve v0.1.16 for Dovecot v1.2.11

[Stephan Bosch]

Hello Dovecot users,

Pigeonhole development has slowed down significantly in the last few 
months due to the fact that I got swamped in work.

The plan is now to move active development of Pigeonhole to Dovecot 
v2.0, meaning that this will be the last release for v1.2 that contains 
significant development changes and new features. However, if a certain 
new feature is simple enough and there is a demand for it, I may 
backport it from v2.0 and release it along with any bugfixes that may 
still arise.

The main thing that this new release adds is full support for the 
spamtest, spamtestplus and virustest extensions. These extensions 
implement a uniform means of testing the content spam/virus status 
headers in mail messages:

http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/rfc5235/

Not many people have tested these new features yet and therefore these 
are currently considered experimental. Test these thoroughly before you 
start using them! Documentation is available in doc/spamtest-virustest.txt

Changelog Sieve v0.1.16:

   * Finished implementation of spamtest, spamtestplus and virustest
     extensions. These are not enabled by default and need to be
     activated with the sieve_extensions setting. Documentation available
     in doc/spamtest-virustest.txt
   + Vacation extension: the from address of the generated reply is now
     by default equal to whatever known recipient alias matched the
     headers of the message. If it is one of the aliases specified with
     :addresses, it is used in stead of the envelope recipient address
     that was used before.
   + Restructured and optimized the lexical scanner.
   + Added --with-docs configure option to allow disabling installation
     of documentation.
   - Accidentally omitted 'extern' in two declarations of global
     variables in header files, causing compile failures on certain
     systems.
   - Deprecated imapflags extension: fixed implicit assignment of flags.
     Turns out this never really worked, but the effect of this bug was
     obscured by the removeflag bug fixed in the previous release.
   - Fixed various memset argument mixups in enotify extension. This
     caused warnings on certain systems, but luckily no adverse effects
     at runtime.

The releases are available as follows:
