Hello Dovecot users,
It has been about two months since the last release of the new Sieve
implementation and the ManageSieve service for Dovecot v1.2. Therefore,
this release contains quite a few changes. It adds new sieve features
like the enotify extension and multiscript support. Also, quite a few
(user-reported) bugs were fixed since the last release.
Changelog Sieve v0.1.3:
* Adapted to changes in Dovecot, making this release dependent on
Dovecot >= 1.2.beta1
* Made mail address comparison fully case-insensitive. This is
particularly noticeable for the :addresses argument of the vacation
command.
+ Finished enotify extension. Currently, only the mailto notification
method is implemented. All still needs to be tested thoroughly.
+ Implemented multiscript support. It is now possible to execute
multiple Sieve scripts sequentially. Administrator-controlled
scripts can be executed before and after the user's script. Still
needs to be tested thoroughly.
+ Implemented support for configuring the available Sieve extensions.
+ Made the subaddress extension (partially) configurable using the
sieve_subaddress_sep setting, which allows specifying a
(multi-charater) separator other than '+'.
+ Compiler now warns about invalid header field names used for the
header and address tests.
+ Vacation extension now properly generates a References header for
the response message.
+ Added testing of basic result execution to the test suite. Also
added support for testing the outgoing messages produced by the
Sieve interpreter.
+ Included execution of the actual result in the sieve-test command
line tool. The undocumented sieve-exec tool that existed for this is
now removed as planned.
+ Added support for the now obsolete 'imapflags' extension for
backwards compatibility with CMUSieve. This also implements the
mark/unmark commands.
- Fixed bugs in the regex extension: 1) if an optional match value did
not in fact match, subsequent match values would get unexpected
indexes. 2) fixed segfault bug occuring when regex is freed.
- Fixed bug in the use of the :from agrument for the vacation command.
If this address included a phrase part, the response would not be a
valid RFC822 message.
- Plugged a theoretical security hole occuring when a directory is
opened as a Sieve binary.
- Cleaned up and fixed various log messages.
- Fixed bug in the outgoing address verification. Addresses ending in
',' were erroneously accepted.
Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.3:
* Changed the SASL service name from "managesieve" into "sieve" as
required in the protocol specification. Don't forget to adjust your
configuration if your authentication mechanism depends on this
service name.
* Adapted to changes in Dovecot, making this release dependent on
Dovecot >= v1.2.beta1.
* Adapted to changes in the new Sieve implementation, making this
release dependent on Dovecot Sieve >= v0.1.3 if used. The old
cmusieve plugin is still supported.
+ Implemented making the SIEVE and NOTIFY capability fully dynamic,
meaning that the sieve_extensions setting that was introduced for
the new Sieve plugin properly affects the ManageSieve daemon as
well.
+ Added support for the CHECKSCRIPT command. In terms of the supported
commands, the ManageSieve daemon now complies with protocol VERSION
1.0 as listed in the CAPABILITY response.
- 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 a segfault bug in the authentication time-out. Bug report and
trace provided by Wolfgang Friebel.
- Fixed handling of ~/ in use of mail-data for script location.
- Fixed small problems in the login proxy support.

I thought about saying this in v1.2.beta1 release annoouncement, but
looks like it'll take a few more days. So I've moved to Blacksburg,
Virginia and I'm now working for Mailtrust the rest of this year. Here's
some talk about it:
http://mailtrust.com/blog
(A bit stupid looking picture, but then again all my pictures seem to be
that way so I didn't bother getting a new one taken.)
And if it's not clear from that blog: Pretty much everything I do here
will be Dovecot improvements that will be released as open source.
Mailtrust has actually been paying for Dovecot features for about 3
years now.

Hopefully this v1.1 release will last a few months.
- IMAP: PERMANENTFLAGS list didn't contain \*, causing some clients
not to save keywords.
- dbox: INTERNALDATE and save date was returned wrong for converted
maildir files.
- auth: Using "username" or "domain" passdb fields caused problems
with cache and blocking passdbs in v1.1.8 .. v1.1.10.
- userdb prefetch + blocking passdbs was broken with non-plaintext
auth in v1.1.8 .. v1.1.10.
- If mail_chroot is set, don't fail at startup in dump-capability.
