I'll probably release v2.1.0 pretty soon, unless people report some new
bugs. I know v2.1 is already being used to serve mails to tens (or
hundreds?) of thousands of users, so it should be pretty stable.
Most of the changes since v2.1.beta1 have been for rather small issues.
Many of the fixed bugs exist also in v2.0, but since they are so minor I
didn't bother backporting the fixes.
As new features since v2.1.beta1 there are the things I did also for
v2.0.16, and:
* ssl_client_cert/key: Proxying can now send SSL certificate to backend
server
* ssl_crypto_device for enabling hardware encryption
* SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication mechanism support by Florian Zeitz
* passdb/userdb checkpassword: Export all auth %variables to AUTH_*
environment.
* maildir_broken_filename_sizes setting for people upgrading from other
maildir servers that wrote tons of broken S=<size> values
And as a reminder, here are the biggest new things since v2.0:
* Plugins now use UTF-8 mailbox names rather than mUTF-7:
acl, autocreate, expire, trash, virtual
* auth_username_format default changed to %Lu. If you really want
case sensitive usernames, set it back to empty.
* Solr full text search backend changed to use mailbox GUIDs instead of
mailbox names, requiring reindexing everything. solr_old backend can
be used with old indexes to avoid reindexing, but it doesn't support
some newer features.
+ imapc (= IMAP client) storage allows using a remote IMAP server to
be used as storage. This allows using Dovecot as a smart (caching)
proxy or using dsync to do migration from remote IMAP server.
+ Mailbox indexing via queuing indexer service (required for Lucene)
+ Lucene full text search (FTS) backend rewritten with support for
different languages
+ FTS finally supports "OR" search operation
+ FTS supports indexing attachments via external programs
+ IMAP FUZZY extension, supported by Lucene and Solr FTS backends
+ Mailbox list indexes
+ Statistics tracking via stats service. Exported via doveadm stats.
+ Autocreate plugin creates/subscribes mailboxes physically only when
the mailbox is opened for the first time. Mailbox listing shows the
autocreated mailboxes even if they don't physically exist.
+ Password and user databases now support default_fields and
override_fields settings to specify template defaults/overrides.
- listescape plugin works perfectly now
Hello Dovecot users,
Before I move active development of Pigeonhole to Dovecot v2.1, I first
release all the pending bug fixes and small improvements.
Changelog v0.2.5:
+ Sieve vacation extension: made discard message for implicit
delivery more verbose
- The sieve-test tool: mixed up original and final envelope recipient
in implementation of command line arguments.
- Sieve vacation extension: resolved FIXME regarding the use of
variables in the :handle argument. Variables are now handled
correctly.
- Sieve body extension: fixed handling of :content "message/rfc822".
This now yields the headers of the embedded message as required by
the specification. Handling of :content "multipart" remains to be
fixed.
- LDA Sieve plugin: fixed problem with recipient_delimiter
configuration. Now it falls back to global recipient_delimiter
setting if plugin/recipient_delimiter is not set.
The release is available as follows:

Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.0 wiki for
more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate
to notify me when there are any problems.
Regards,

I only now noticed that the VSZ limits weren't being enforced with
earlier v2.0.x releases (or they were set 1024 times too high). So if a
Dovecot process was leaking memory, it wasn't being killed by kernel.
Now that this enforcing is done, some installations will probably start
seeing errors about reaching these limits in normal operation. The
default_vsz_limit is 256 MB. You may want to increase it in larger
installations to 1 GB just in case.
Besides the changes listed below, a lot of smaller fixes were done.
v2.0.16 2011-11-17 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi>
* VSZ limits weren't being enforced for any processes. On server with
large mailboxes you may now see errors about it if the limits aren't
high enough. To fix them, either increase individual service {
vsz_limit } values or simply increase the default_vsz_limit setting.
* Proxying: If using ssl=yes or starttls=yes with a hostname (not IP)
as proxy destination, require that the certificate matches the given
hostname.
* LMTP: Changed default client_limit to 1. This should improve LMTP
throughput with default settings.
* dsync: Quota is no longer enforced (i.e. dsync can't fail because
user is over quota).
+ Added "auto" mail storage driver, which can be used to autodetect
mailbox location and format. This behavior is already the default
for empty mail_location setting, so this change is mainly useful for
shared namespace's location setting.
+ checkpassword: Export all auth %variables to AUTH_* environment.

Here's the first beta release of Dovecot v2.1. This version has already
been tested quite a lot, so I'm not expecting any major bugs. So please
upgrade and see if you can find any problems. I'm optimistic about
getting rc1 released this year and perhaps even v2.1.0.
Since alpha2 there have been a lot of fixes, especially to imapc
backend. There are probably also some small new features, but nothing
huge.
As a reminder, here's the largest changes since v2.0:
* Plugins now use UTF-8 mailbox names rather than mUTF-7:
acl, autocreate, expire, trash, virtual
* auth_username_format default changed to %Lu. If you really want
case sensitive usernames, set it back to empty.
* Solr full text search backend changed to use mailbox GUIDs instead of
mailbox names, requiring reindexing everything. solr_old backend can
be used with old indexes to avoid reindexing, but it doesn't support
some newer features.
