v1.2.rc6 released
by Timo Sirainen 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc6.tar.gz.sig I think it's time to get v1.2.0 released soon. There is apparently still one rare crashing bug in virtual plugin, but unless someone can reproduce the bug I'm not going to delay v1.2.0 because of it. The release plan is: - Release v1.2.rc7 next Friday (assuming there have been some fixes) - Release v1.2.0 the next Monday I'll be giving a Dovecot talk in Berlin on July 2nd, and I really want to have v1.2.0 released by them. So July 1st is the absolute final deadline for v1.2.0. :) Changes since rc5: * imap proxy: Pass through to client unexpected untagged replies from remote server (e.g. alerts). * Solr: Don't use "any" copyfield, it doubles the index size. * mail_location: Allow using ":" characters in dir names by escaping it as "::". - mbox: Don't crash with invalid From_-lines. - IMAP: Don't crash if IDLE command is pipelined after a long-running UID FETCH or UID SEARCH. - ACL / shared mailbox fixes - Some metadata files were incorrectly getting 0666 permissions.

19 Jun '09

Hello Dovecot users, After more than a week on one of the Dutch islands, I finally managed to update the Sieve and Managesieve packages for the new v1.2.rc5 release. Sorry for the delay. Changelog Sieve v0.1.6: * Adjusted to changes in Dovecot to make it compile against v1.2.rc5 * Made default of sieve_dir setting match the ManageSieve implementation. - Fixed a few problems in de body extension that caused assert failures in specific situations. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.5: * Incorporated various changes from imap-login into managesieve-login. This includes changes in the proxy support. -- The releases are available as follows: Sieve: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.6.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.6.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve (package + patch): http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.5.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.5.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.rc5-managesieve-0.11.5.diff… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.rc5-managesieve-0.11.5.diff… -- Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

v1.2.rc5 released
by Timo Sirainen 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc5.tar.gz.sig Some small fixes mainly. I guess I'll still have to release rc6 and rc7 after all. I've been a bit busy with v2.0 changes recently. BTW. I'm leaving tomorrow to San Francisco and I'm going to check out what's happening in Apple WWDC next week. * auth_cache_negative_ttl is now used also for password mismatches (currently only with plaintext authentication mechanisms). + Added support for EXTERNAL SASL mechanism. + FETCH X-SAVEDATE can now be used to get messages' save timestamps + deliver_log_format: %s is now in UTF8 - If message body started with a space, some operations could have assert-crashed. - Fixed using LDAP support as a plugin - Fixes to virtual mailboxes.

v1.1.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.16.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.16.tar.gz.sig Fixes a couple of bugs in v1.1.15's changes. Hopefully the last v1.1 release before v1.2.0. - v1.1.15 could have crashed if mailbox-closing command was pipelined after a mailbox-accessing command. - v1.1.15's zlib plugin may have caused crashes when fetching INTERNALDATE. - Maildir: If messages had been deleted externally from new/ directory and mailbox was opened with EXAMINE, Dovecot didn't immediately notice that the messages were deleted. - If message body started with a space, some operations could have assert-crashed.
