http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc2.tar.gz.sig I'm assuming that most of the bugs are now found and fixed, so the final 2.2.28 should be out in a day or two. Changes since rc1: * Reverted [UNKNOWN-CTE] -> [PARSE] change + pop3c: Added pop3c_features=no-pipelining setting to prevent using PIPELINING extension even though it's advertised. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit didn't work if userdb changed username - Fixed various bugs that were introduced in rc1 Here's the full list of changes again: * director: "doveadm director move" to same host now refreshes user's timeout. This allows keeping user constantly in the same backend by just periodically moving the user there. * When new mailbox is created, use initially INBOX's dovecot.index.cache caching decisions. * Expunging mails writes GUID to dovecot.index.log now only if the GUID is quickly available from index/cache. * pop3c: Increase timeout for PASS command to 5 minutes. * Mail access errors are no longer ignored when searching or sorting. With IMAP the untagged SEARCH/SORT reply is still sent the same as before, but NO reply is returned instead of OK. + Make dovecot.list.index's filename configurable. This is needed when there are multiple namespaces pointing to the same mail root (e.g. lazy_expunge namespace for mdbox). + Add size.virtual to dovecot.index when folder vsizes are accessed (e.g. quota=count). This is mainly a workaround to avoid slow quota recalculation performance when message sizes get lost from dovecot.index.cache due to corruption or some other reason. + auth: Support OAUTHBEARER and XOAUTH2 mechanisms. Also support them in lib-dsasl for client side. + auth: Support filtering by SASL mechanism: passdb { mechanisms } + Shrink the mail processes' memory usage by not storing settings duplicated unnecessarily many times. + imap: Add imap_fetch_failure setting to control what happens when FETCH fails for some mails (see example-config). + imap: Include info about last command in disconnection log line. + imap: Created new SEARCH=X-MIMEPART extension. It's currently not advertised by default, since it's not fully implemented. + fts-solr: Add support for basic authentication. + Cassandra: Support automatically retrying failed queries if execution_retry_interval and execution_retry_times are set. + doveadm: Added "mailbox path" command. + mail_log plugin: If plugin { mail_log_cached_only=yes }, log the wanted fields only if it doesn't require opening the email. + mail_vsize_bg_after_count setting added (see example-config). + mail_sort_max_read_count setting added (see example-config). + pop3c: Added pop3c_features=no-pipelining setting to prevent using PIPELINING extension even though it's advertised. - Index files: day_first_uid wasn't updated correctly since v2.2.26. This caused dovecot.index.cache to be non-optimal. - imap: SEARCH/SORT may have assert-crashed in client_check_command_hangs - imap: FETCH X-MAILBOX may have assert-crashed in virtual mailboxes. - imap: Running time in tagged command reply was often wrongly 0. - search: Using NOT n:* or NOT UID n:* wasn't handled correctly - director: doveadm director kick was broken - director: Fix crash when using director_flush_socket - director: Fix some bugs when moving users between backends - imapc: Various error handling fixes and improvements - master: doveadm process status output had a lot of duplicates. - autoexpunge: If mailbox's rename timestamp is newer than mail's save-timestamp, use it instead. This is useful when autoexpunging e.g. Trash/* and an entire mailbox is deleted by renaming it under Trash to prevent it from being autoexpunged too early. - autoexpunge: Multiple processes may have been trying to expunge the same mails simultaneously. This was problematic especially with lazy_expunge plugin. - auth: %{passdb:*} was empty in auth-worker processes - auth-policy: hashed_password was always sent empty. - dict-sql: Merge multiple UPDATEs to a single statement if possible. - fts-solr: Escape {} chars when sending queries - fts: fts_autoindex_exclude = \Special-use caused crashes - doveadm-server: Fix leaks and other problems when process is reused for multiple requests (service_count != 1) - sdbox: Fix assert-crash on mailbox create race - lda/lmtp: deliver_log_format values weren't entirely correct if Sieve was used. especially %{storage_id} was broken. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit didn't work if userdb changed username

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.17.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.28.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hello Dovecot users, Several bugs were found in the course of the last few months, but no new features were created. So, this will be strictly a bug-fixing release. The previous Pigeonhole release should still work with the new Dovecot release, which means you are not required to upgrade. However, my advice would be to upgrade once this release candidate matures into a final release, since at least the first bug listed below is pretty severe. Changelog v0.4.17: - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed handling of an early explicit keep during multiscript execution. Action side-effects and the message snapshot would be lost at the final stage where the implicit keep is evaluated. This could result in the IMAP flags assigned to the message to be forgotten or that headers modified by the "editheader" extension would revert to their original state. - file script storage: Amended the up-to-date time stamp comparison for on-disk binaries to include nanoseconds. This will fix problems occurring when both binary and script are saved within the same second. This fix is ineffective on older systems that have no support for nanoseconds in stat() timestamps, which should be pretty rare nowadays. - file script storage: Improve saving and listing permission error to include more details. - imapsieve plugin: Make sure "INBOX" is upper case in static mailbox rules. Otherwise, the mailbox name would never match, since matching is performed case-sensitively and Dovecot only returns the upper-cased "INBOX". - imapsieve plugin: Fixed assert failure occurring when used with virtual mailboxes. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crash when setting Sieve script via attribute's string value. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.27.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.27.tar.gz.sig Note that the download URLs are now https with a certificate from Let's Encrypt. * dovecot.list.index.log rotation sizes/times were changed so that the .log file stays smaller and .log.2 is deleted sooner. + Added mail_crypt plugin that allows encryption of stored emails. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailCrypt + stats: Global stats can be sent to Carbon server by setting stats_carbon_server=ip:port + imap/pop3 proxy: If passdb returns proxy_not_trusted, don't send ID/XCLIENT + Added generic hash modifier for %variables: %{<hash algorithm>;rounds=<n>,truncate=<bits>,salt=s>:field} Hash algorithm is any of the supported ones, e.g. md5, sha1, sha256. Also "pkcs5" is supported using SHA256. For example: %{sha256:user} or %{md5;truncate=32:user}. + Added support for SHA3-256 and SHA3-512 hashes. + config: Support DNS wildcards in local_name, e.g. local_name *.example.com { .. } matches anything.example.com, but not multiple.anything.example.com. + config: Support multiple names in local_name, e.g. local_name "1.example.com 2.example.com" { .. } - Fixed crash in auth process when auth-policy was configured and authentication was aborted/failed without a username set. - director: If two users had different tags but the same hash, the users may have been redirected to the wrong tag's hosts. - Index files may have been thought incorrectly lost, causing "Missing middle file seq=.." to be logged and index rebuild. This happened more easily with IMAP hibernation enabled. - Various fixes to restoring state correctly in un-hibernation. - dovecot.index files were commonly 4 bytes per email too large. This is because 3 bytes per email were being wasted that could have been used for IMAP keywords. - Various fixes to handle dovecot.list.index corruption better. - lib-fts: Fixed assert-crash in address tokenizer with specific input. - Fixed assert-crash in HTML to text parsing with specific input (e.g. for FTS indexing or snippet generation) - doveadm sync -1: Fixed handling mailbox GUID conflicts. - sdbox, mdbox: Perform full index rebuild if corruption is detected inside lib-index, which runs index fsck. - quota: Don't skip quota checks when moving mails between different quota roots. - search: Multiple sequence sets or UID sets in search parameters weren't handled correctly. They were incorrectly merged together.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.16 for Dovecot v2.2.26.0.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.16 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. The reported replication issues are still open, since we haven't been able to reproduce them so far. Changelog v0.4.16: * Part of the Sieve extprograms implementation was moved to Dovecot, which means that this release depends on Dovecot v2.2.26+. * ManageSieve: The PUTSCRIPT command now allows uploading empty Sieve scripts. There was really no good reason to disallow doing that. + Sieve vnd.dovecot.report extension: + Added a Dovecot-Reporting-User field to the report body, which contains the e-mail address of the user sending the report. + Added support for configuring the "From:" address used in the report. + LDA sieve plugin: Implemented support for a "discard script" that is run when the message is going to be discarded. This allows doing something other than throwing the message away for good. + Sieve vnd.dovecot.environment extension: Added vnd.dovecot.config.* environment items. These environment items map to sieve_env_* settings from the plugin {} section in the configuration. Such values can of course also be returned from userdb. + Sieve vacation extension: Use the Microsoft X-Auto-Response-Suppress header to prevent unwanted responses from and to (older) Microsoft products. + ManageSieve: Added rawlog_dir setting to store ManageSieve traffic logs. This replaces at least partially the rawlog plugin (mimics similar IMAP/POP3 change). - doveadm sieve plugin: synchronization: Prevent setting file timestamps to unix epoch time. This occurred when Dovecot passed the timestamp as 'unknown' during synchronization. - Sieve exprograms plugin: Fixed spurious '+' sometimes returned at the end of socket-based program output. - imapsieve plugin: Fixed crash occurring in specific situations. - Performed various fixes based on static analysis and Clang warnings. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.16.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.16.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

The version number is also a little bit weird, but had to be done this way (although 2.2.26.0.1 could have been another possibility). - Fixed some compiling issues. - auth: Fixed assert-crash when using NTLM or SKEY mechanisms and multiple passdbs. - auth: Fixed crash when exporting to auth-worker passdb extra fields that had empty values. - dsync: Fixed assert-crash in dsync_brain_sync_mailbox_deinit

v2.2.26 released
by Timo Sirainen 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.tar.gz.sig There were some changes since rc1: https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/54d654098032d96975b70749b505fae538e9… Mainly there are quite a lot of director fixes and improvements. Here's the full list of changes: * master: Removed hardcoded 511 backlog limit for listen(). The kernel should limit this as needed. * doveadm import: Source user is now initialized the same as target user. Added -U parameter to override the source user. * Mailbox names are no longer limited to 16 hierarchy levels. We'll check another way to make sure mailbox names can't grow larger than 4096 bytes. + Added a concept of "alternative usernames" by returning user_* extra field(s) in passdb. doveadm proxy list shows these alt usernames in "doveadm proxy list" output. "doveadm director&proxy kick" adds -f <passdb field> parameter. The alt usernames don't have to be unique, so this allows creation of user groups and kicking them in one command. + auth: passdb/userdb dict allows now %variables in key settings. + auth: If passdb returns noauthenticate=yes extra field, assume that it only set extra fields and authentication wasn't actually performed. + auth: passdb static now supports password={scheme} prefix. + auth, login_log_format_elements: Added %{local_name} variable, which expands to TLS SNI hostname if given. + imapc: Added imapc_max_line_length to limit maximum memory usage. + imap, pop3: Added rawlog_dir setting to store IMAP/POP3 traffic logs. This replaces at least partially the rawlog plugin. + dsync: Added dsync_features=empty-header-workaround setting. This makes incremental dsyncs work better for servers that randomly return empty headers for mails. When an empty header is seen for an existing mail, dsync assumes that it matches the local mail. + doveadm sync/backup: Added -I <max size> parameter to skip too large mails. + doveadm sync/backup: Fixed -t parameter and added -e for "end date". + doveadm mailbox metadata: Added -s parameter to allow accessing server metadata by using empty mailbox name. + Added "doveadm service status" and "doveadm process status" commands. + director: Added director_flush_socket. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director#Flush_socket + doveadm director flush: Users are now moved only max 100 at a time to avoid load spikes. --max-parallel parameter overrides this. + Added FILE_LOCK_SLOW_WARNING_MSECS environment, which logs a warning if any lock is waited on or kept for this many milliseconds. - master process's listener socket was leaked to all child processes. This might have allowed untrusted processes to capture and prevent "doveadm service stop" comands from working. - login proxy: Fixed crash when outgoing SSL connections were hanging. - auth: userdb fields weren't passed to auth-workers, so %{userdb:*} from previous userdbs didn't work there. - auth: Each userdb lookup from cache reset its TTL. - auth: Fixed auth_bind=yes + sasl_bind=yes to work together - auth: Blocking userdb lookups reset extra fields set by previous userdbs. - auth: Cache keys didn't include %{passdb:*} and %{userdb:*} - auth-policy: Fixed crash due to using already-freed memory if policy lookup takes longer than auth request exists. - lib-auth: Unescape passdb/userdb extra fields. Mainly affected returning extra fields with LFs or TABs. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit>0 setting was logging unnecessary anvil errors. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit is now checked before quota check with lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes to avoid unnecessary quota work. - lmtp: %{userdb:*} variables didn't work in mail_log_prefix - autoexpunge settings for mailboxes with wildcards didn't work when namespace prefix was non-empty. - Fixed writing >2GB to iostream-temp files (used by fs-compress, fs-metawrap, doveadm-http) - director: Ignore duplicates in director_servers setting. - director: Many fixes related to connection handshaking, user moving and error handling. - director: Don't break with shutdown_clients=no - zlib, IMAP BINARY: Fixed internal caching when accessing multiple newly created mails. They all had UID=0 and the next mail could have wrongly used the previously cached mail. - doveadm stats reset wasn't reseting all the stats. - auth_stats=yes: Don't update num_logins, since it doubles them when using with mail stats. - quota count: Fixed deadlocks when updating vsize header. - dict-quota: Fixed crashes happening due to memory corruption. - dict proxy: Fixed various timeout-related bugs. - doveadm proxying: Fixed -A and -u wildcard handling. - doveadm proxying: Fixed hangs and bugs related to printing. - imap: Fixed wrongly triggering assert-crash in client_check_command_hangs. - imap proxy: Don't send ID command pipelined with nopipelining=yes - imap-hibernate: Don't execute quota_over_script or last_login after un-hibernation. - imap-hibernate: Don't un-hibernate if client sends DONE+IDLE in one IP packet. - imap-hibernate: Fixed various failures when un-hibernating. - fts: fts_autoindex=yes was broken in 2.2.25 unless fts_autoindex_exclude settings existed. - fts-solr: Fixed searching multiple mailboxes (patch by x16a0) - doveadm fetch body.snippet wasn't working in 2.2.25. Also fixed a crash with certain emails. - pop3-migration + dbox: Various fixes related to POP3 UIDL optimization in 2.2.25. - pop3-migration: Fixed "truncated email header" workaround.

They all had UID=0 and the next mail could have wrongly used the previously cached mail. - doveadm stats reset wasn't reseting all the stats. - auth_stats=yes: Don't update num_logins, since it doubles them when using with mail stats. - quota count: Fixed deadlocks when updating vsize header. - dict-quota: Fixed crashes happening due to memory corruption. - dict proxy: Fixed various timeout-related bugs. - doveadm proxying: Fixed -A and -u wildcard handling. - doveadm proxying: Fixed hangs and bugs related to printing. - imap: Fixed wrongly triggering assert-crash in client_check_command_hangs. - imap proxy: Don't send ID command pipelined with nopipelining=yes - imap-hibernate: Don't execute quota_over_script or last_login after un-hibernation. - imap-hibernate: Don't un-hibernate if client sends DONE+IDLE in one IP packet. - imap-hibernate: Fixed various failures when un-hibernating. - fts: fts_autoindex=yes was broken in 2.2.25 unless fts_autoindex_exclude settings existed. - fts-solr: Fixed searching multiple mailboxes (patch by x16a0) - doveadm fetch body.snippet wasn't working in 2.2.25. Also fixed a crash with certain emails. - pop3-migration + dbox: Various fixes related to POP3 UIDL optimization in 2.2.25. - pop3-migration: Fixed "truncated email header" workaround.
