No bug reports since rc4, so here it is.
v0.99.10 2003-06-26 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi>
* Default PAM service name changed to "dovecot". This means that
if you're using PAM, you most likely have to do
mv /etc/pam.d/imap /etc/pam.d/dovecot
If you wish to keep using imap, see doc/auth.txt.
* ~/rawlog directory changed to ~/dovecot.rawlog
+ Faster and better maildir synchronization. We support read-only
maildirs and out-of-quota conditions are handled a lot better.
dovecot-uidlist file still isn't out-of-quota-safe though, but you
can keep it in another location where quota isn't checked. For
example:
default_mail_env = Maildir:~/Maildir:
INDEX=/noquota/%u:CONTROL=/noquota/%u
+ Read-only mboxes are supported now.
+ Only NOOP and CHECK now always do a mailbox sync checking. Other
commands sync max. once in 5 seconds, plus always from indexes.
This should reduce I/O a bit.
+ All NUL characters are translated to ascii #128 before sending to
client. RFC prohibits sending NULs and this is how UW-IMAP handles
it as well.
+ Make ENVELOPE, BODY and BODYSTRUCTURE replies more compact by
removing multiple LWSPs and translating TABs to spaces. RFC doesn't
specifically require this, but this seems to be the wanted
behaviour..
+ Added ANONYMOUS SASL mechanism.
+ More flexible user chrooting configuration in home directories:
"<chroot>/./<homedir>"
+ Added support for dynamically loadable IMAP/POP3 modules. See
INSTALL file for more information.
- Partial fetches were broken if mails had CR+LF linefeeds
- SEARCH DELETED didn't return anything if all messages were deleted
- OpenSSL support was broken in many installations because we were
chrooted and it couldn't open /dev/urandom.
- PAM: Giving wrong password blocked the whole process for two
seconds. Now we create a new process for each check.
- Lots of other smaller bugfixes and better error handling
