http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.10.tar.gz.sig v1.1.9 wasn't such a great release. Once again: Would be great if someone started a proper testing suite so releases could be tested.. - Maildir: Keyword handling was somewhat broken in v1.1.9 - userdb prefetch was broken with blocking passdbs in v1.1.9 - dict process didn't always die with the rest of Dovecot - dict quota was somewhat broken with pgsql

Released ManageSieve v0.10.5 for Dovecot v1.1.9
by Stephan Bosch 27 Jan '09

Hello Dovecot users, Because there was a crash bug in the ManageSieve v0.10.4 login daemon, I made a new release of the ManageSieve service for Dovecot v1.1. This release includes two other small fixes as well. Changelog v0.10.5: - Fixed a segfault bug in the authentication time-out. Bug report and trace provided by Wolfgang Friebel. - Fixed maximum permissions for uploaded scripts; was 0777. This was shielded however by the default umask (not documented to be configurable), so the actual permissions would never have been 0777. - Fixed handling of ~/ in use of mail-data for script location The following files are released: ManageSieve package: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.5.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.5.tar.gz.s… ManageSieve patch: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9-managesieve-0.10.5.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9-managesieve-0.10.5.diff.g… Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl IRC: Freenode, #dovecot, S[r]us

v1.1.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 24 Jan '09

24 Jan '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9.tar.gz.sig Lots of small dbox fixes, hopefully migrations from Maildir are now working correctly. I'm also planning on releasing v1.2.beta1 in a few days. + Sending SIGUSR2 to dovecot-auth now also logs statistics about cache inserts. This could help figuring out auth cache size. + deliver: Added rejection_subject setting, which is used for rejected mails. + pop3: Prevent clients from looping forever trying to fetch an expunged message. + If login process crashes, log the IP address that (maybe) caused it. + If core dump limit is 0, add "core dumps disabled" to startup log line. + Log better messages for "Permission denied" errors - mbox: Fixed assert-crash with pop3_lock_session=yes - dbox: Fixes to handling maildir-converted files. - Auth cache wasn't working correctly for all fields (e.g. allow_nets) with blocking passdbs (e.g. mysql). - pgsql: Handle reconnecting to server without failing auth lookups. - Berkeley DB memory/resource leak fixes. - maildir: Fixes to handling over 26 keywords.

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.8.tar.gz.sig Most importantly mbox bugfixes. v1.1 should finally be as stable with mboxes as it was with v1.0. Hopefully we'll also soon have the first v1.2 beta release and the final v1.2.0 somewhat soon after that. - mbox: Several bugfixes. Fixes "next message unexpectedly lost" errors and perhaps some other problems as well. - deliver: It wasn't possible to override boolean settings in lda section by setting them to "no". - Maildir++ quota didn't correctly check if maildirs had changed during recalculation. - kqueue notify: Fixed assert-crash in some situations - dbox: Several fixes to handling Maildir migrations - Logging/error message improvements
