Hello Dovecot users,
The most important feature that this new release adds is the IMAPSIEVE
capability, which allows executing Sieve scripts at IMAP events. It also
adds the ability to obtain trace logs from Sieve execution at actual
delivery (or from IMAP), rather than only using the sieve-test command
line tool.
This release also fixes a bug in the Sieve extprograms plugin that has
been bothering a few people for a while now.
Changelog v0.4.14:
* The address test now allows specifying the X-Original-To header.
+ Implemented the Sieve imapsieve extension and its IMAP counterpart
(RFC 6785) as a set of plugins. This allows running Sieve scripts at
IMAP activity, rather than at delivery. There are also facilities for
the familiar sieve_before/sieve_after administrator scripts. A user
script is defined for a mailbox using an IMAP METADATA entry, whereas
administrator scripts are configured using mailbox matching rules
defined in the plugin settings.
+ Adjusted the Sieve ihave extension to allow capability tests to be
performed at runtime. This way, scripts can be written that work both
at delivery and from IMAP.
+ Implemented support for runtime trace debugging. This means that
detailed information about which commands, actions and tests are
performed is written to a file. That file is created in the
configured directory, but only if that directory exists. This way, a
particular user can be easily singled out for debugging. This works
much like the Dovecot rawlog facility. The trace output is identical
to what is produced using sieve-test with its "-t" command line
option.
+ Added a "sieve_user_email" setting that configures the user's primary
email address. This is mainly useful to have a user email address
available in IMAP, where envelope data is unavailable.
+ Implemented the dovecot-specific "vnd.dovecot.report" extension. This
allows sending report messages in the Message Abuse Reporting Format
(RFC 5965).
- extprograms plugin: Fixed epoll() panic caused by closing the output
FD before the output stream.
- Made sure that the local part of a mail address is encoded properly
using quoted string syntax when it is not a dot-atom.

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

This should be a good release. :)
* doveconf now warns if it sees a global setting being changed when
the same setting was already set inside some filters. (A common
mistake has been adding more plugins to a global mail_plugins
setting after it was already set inside protocol { .. }, which
caused the global setting to be ignored for that protocol.)
* LMTP proxy: Increased default timeout 30s -> 125s. This makes it
less likely to reach the timeout and cause duplicate deliveries.
* LMTP and indexer now append ":suffix" to session IDs to make it
unique for the specific user's delivery. (Fixes duplicate session
ID warnings in stats process.)
+ Added dict-ldap for performing read-only LDAP dict lookups.
+ lazy-expunge: All mails can be saved to a single specified mailbox.
+ mailbox { autoexpunge } supports now wildcards in mailbox names.
+ doveadm HTTP API: Added support for proxy commands
+ imapc: Reconnect when getting disconnected in non-selected state.
+ imapc: Added imapc_features=modseq to access MODSEQs/HIGHESTMODSEQ.
This is especially useful for incremental dsync.
+ doveadm auth/user: Auth lookup performs debug logging if
-o auth_debug=yes is given to doveadm.
+ Added passdb/userdb { auth_verbose=yes|no } setting.
+ Cassandra: Added user, password, num_threads, connect_timeout and
request_timeout settings.
+ doveadm user -e <value>: Print <value> with %variables expanded.
- Huge header lines could have caused Dovecot to use too much memory
(depending on config and used IMAP commands). (Typically this would
result in only the single user's process dying with out of memory
due to reaching service { vsz_limit } - not a global DoS).
- dsync: Detect and handle invalid/stale -s state string better.
- dsync: Fixed crash caused by specific mailbox renames
- auth: Auth cache is now disabled passwd-file. It was unnecessary and
it broke %variables in extra fields.
- fts-tika: Don't crash if it returns 500 error
- dict-redis: Fixed timeout handling
- SEARCH INTHREAD was crashing
- stats: Only a single fifo_listeners was supported, making it
impossible to use both auth_stats=yes and mail stats plugin.
- SSL errors were logged in separate "Stacked error" log lines
instead of as part of the disconnection reason.
- MIME body parser didn't handle properly when a child MIME part's
--boundary had the same prefix as the parent.
The git master branch starts tracking Dovecot v2.3 development from now on. There are soon going to be several API changes there that might break plugins. If you wish to keep tracking latest v2.2.x development instead, switch to master-2.2 branch.
The nightly releases at http://dovecot.org/nightly/ will also track v2.3 tree.
