http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.6.tar.gz.sig I didn't have time to look into the latest reported dsync replication bugs, but this release should have been done a long time ago already and I'm busy for next few days, so no more waiting. Things seem to be working quite well in general though. * acl: If public/shared namespace has a shared subscriptions file for all users, don't list subscription entries that are not visible to the user accessing it. + doveadm: Added "auth lookup" command for doing passdb lookup. + login_log_format_elements: Added %{orig_user}, %{orig_username} and %{orig_domain} expanding to the username exactly as sent by the client (before any changes auth process made). + Added ssl_prefer_server_ciphers setting. + auth_verbose_passwords: Log the password also for unknown users. + Linux: Added optional support for SO_REUSEPORT with inet_listener { reuse_port=yes } - director: v2.2.5 changes caused "SYNC lost" errors - dsync: Many fixes and error handling improvements - doveadm -A: Don't waste CPU by doing a separate config lookup for each user - Long-running ssl-params process no longer prevents Dovecot restart - mbox: Fixed mailbox_list_index=yes to work correctly

v2.2.5 released
by Timo Sirainen 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.5.tar.gz.sig So, I'm back from the first vacation I've had in about 10 years. (Well, maybe there were a few short ones.) I was planning on coding it the whole time, but looks like I didn't manage to get anything at all done. Maybe that's a good vacation?.. Anyway, I've still a few more pending things to look into, but it's been too long since v2.2.4 so here are the fixes so far. + SSL: Added support for ECDH/ECDHE cipher suites (by David Hicks) + Added some missing man pages (by Pascal Volk) + quota-status: Added quota_status_toolarge setting (by Ulrich Zehl) - director: Users near expiration could have been redirected to different servers at the same time. - pop3: Avoid assert-crash if client disconnects during LIST. - mdbox: Corrupted index header still wasn't automatically fixed. - dsync: Various fixes to work better with imapc and pop3c storages. - ldap: sasl_bind=yes caused crashes, because Dovecot's lib-sasl symbols conflicted with Cyrus SASL library. - imap: Various error handling fixes to CATENATE. (Found using Apple's stress test script.)

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.1 for Dovecot v2.2.4.
by Stephan Bosch 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hello Dovecot users, Now that I am not preoccupied anymore, I quickly release a new version of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2. This consists mainly of bug fixes. One new feature is that the Sieve plugin will try to pass temporary failures (e.g. from mail storage) back to LDA/LMTP as much as possible. However, this change turned out a little bigger than I would have liked, so experiment with it a bit before you deploy it in production. Changelog v0.4.1: + Added support for handling temporary failures. These are passed back to LDA/LTMP to produce an appropriate response towards the MTA. - Sieve storage: Removed PATH_MAX limitation for active symlink. This caused problems for GNU/Hurd. - Fixed line endings in X-Sieve headers added by redirect command. - ManageSieve: Fixed '[' ']' stupidity for response codes (only happened before login). - Fixed setting name in example-config/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf. - Sieve extprograms plugin: Fixed interaction between pipe command and remote script service. The output from the script service was never read, causing a broken pipe error at the script service. Apparently, this was broken since the I/O handling for extprograms was last revised. - Fixed assertion failure due to datastack problem in message header composition. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.1.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.1.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

v2.1.17 released
by Timo Sirainen 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.17.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.17.tar.gz.sig Hopefully among the last v2.1.x releases. + zlib: Keep the last read mail uncompressed in a temporary file. This significantly improves performance when IMAP client does small partial fetches for a large mail. + acl: Optionally get default ACL's for private/shared namespaces from user's INBOX (plugin { acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes } - Case-insensitive unicode character comparisons weren't all working as they should. - maildir: Fixed handling over 26 keywords in a mailbox. - auth: Don't crash in non-PLAIN/LOGIN auth mechanism if master user login is attempted without any master passdbs configured.

v2.2.4 released

25 Jun '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.4.tar.gz.sig OK, this should be a pretty good and stable version. + doveadm: Added "flags" command to modify message flags. + doveadm: Added "deduplicate" command to expunge message duplicates. + dsync: Show the state in process title with verbose_proctitle=yes. - imap/pop3 proxy: Master user logins were broken in v2.2.3 - sdbox/mdbox: A corrupted index header with wrong size was never automatically fixed in v2.2.3. - mbox: Fixed assert-crashes related to locking.

v2.2.3 released
by Timo Sirainen 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.3.tar.gz.sig This is a pretty important upgrade for v2.2 users, because of the IMAP ENVELOPE reply fix. * LDA/LMTP: If new mail delivery first fails with "temporary failure", tempfail the whole delivery instead of falling back to delivering the mail to INBOX. (Requires new Pigeonhole as well.) * doc/solr-schema.xml was updated to Solr v4.x format. Also the default analyzers were changed, hopefully for the better. Note that the schema can't be changed for existing Solr indexes without rebuilding everything. * Solr plugin does only soft commits from now on. You'll need a cronjob to send a hard commit command to it every few minutes. + Added %N modifier for variables as %H-like "new hash" + sdbox, mdbox: Support POP3 message order field (for migrations) + Added mailbox { driver } to specify a different mail storage format for the mailbox than generally used within the namespace. + Added initial lib-sasl library for client side SASL support. Currently supports only PLAIN, LOGIN and plugins. Used currently by IMAP and POP3 proxying when authenticating to the remote server. - IMAP: If subject contained only whitespace, Dovecot returned an ENVELOPE reply with a huge literal value, effectively causing the IMAP client to wait for more data forever. - IMAP: Various URLAUTH fixes. - imapc: Various bugfixes and improvements - pop3c: Various fixes to make it work in dsync (without imapc) - dsync: Fixes to syncing subscriptions. Fixes to syncing mailbox renames.

v2.2.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 20 May '13

20 May '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.2.tar.gz.sig It's been a while since v2.2.1. I think all of the bad bugs in v2.2 series should be fixed by now, so here's a new release. I think there are still some small URLAUTH bugs left though, so you might want to wait before enabling it in production (imap_urlauth_host is empty by default, which disables it). + zlib: Keep the last mail cached uncompressed in a temp file. This fixes performance when doing small partial fetches from a large mail. + acl: If plugin { acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes } is set, get the default ACLs for private and shared namespaces from the user's INBOX. (This probably will become default in v2.3.) + pop3: Added pop3_deleted_flag setting to switch POP3 deletions to only hide the messages from POP3, but still be visible via IMAP. - ACL plugin: Mailbox creation wasn't actually checking any ACLs and always succeeded (due to some v2.2 API changes). The created mailbox couldn't have been accessed though, so this couldn't have caused any data leak. - IMAP: Various URLAUTH fixes. - IMAP: Fixed a hang with invalid APPEND parameters. - IMAP LIST-EXTENDED: INBOX was never listed with \Subscribed flag. - mailbox_list_index=yes still caused crashes. - maildir: Fixed a crash after dovecot-keywords file was re-read. - maildir: If files had reappeared unexpectedly to a Maildir, they were ignored until index files were deleted. - Maildir: Fixed handling over 26 keywords in a mailbox. - Maildir++: Fixed mail_shared_explicit_inbox=no - namespace { prefix="" list=no } was listing mailboxes. - imap/pop3-login proxying: Fixed a crash if TCP connection succeeded, but the remote login timed out. - Case-insensitive search/sort didn't work correctly for all unicode characters, as specified by i;unicode-casemap comparator. If full text search indexes were used, they need to be rebuilt for old mails to be handled correctly. (This bug has existed always in Dovecot.)

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.0 for Dovecot v2.2.1.
by Stephan Bosch 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hello Dovecot users, I finally release the first version of Pigeonhole v0.4 for Dovecot v2.2. The main reason for the delay was that some unexpected (design) problems occurred with the new doveadm-sieve plugin, which allows synchronizing sieve scripts using doveadm sync. One important change is that I incorporated the extprograms plugin into the main Pigeonhole release. With this plugin it is possible to execute administrator-controlled external programs (shell scripts) from the Sieve interpreter, e.g. for special message delivery, filtering and string manipulation. The list of new features is not that impressive. I've been working on IMAP URLAUTH, IMAP CATENATE and HTTP support for Dovecot. Currently, I'm building an SMTP submission proxy server. After all that I plan to spend more time on Sieve development. One of the most important issues on my list is implementing support for using alternative types of storage (e.g. a database) for Sieve scripts, rather than only a filesystem directory as it is now. Changelog v0.4.0: + Added doveadm-sieve plugin that provides the possibility to sync Sieve scripts using doveadm sync along with the user's mailboxes. + Added the Sieve extprograms plugin to the main Pigeonhole package. It is still a plugin, but it is now included so that a separate compile is no longer necessary and distributors are likely to include it. The extprograms plugin provides Sieve language extensions that allows executing (administrator-controlled) external programs for message delivery, message filtering and string manipulation. Refer to doc/plugins/sieve_extprograms.txt for more information. + Added debug message showing Pigeonhole version at initialization. Makes it very clear that the plugin is properly loaded. + Finished implementation of the Sieve include extension. It should now fully conform to RFC 6609. The main addition is the new :optional tag which makes the include command ignore missing included scripts without an error. + Finished implementation of the Sieve environment extension as much as possible. Environment items "location", "phase" and "domain" now also return a usable value. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.0.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.0.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Released Pigeonhole v0.3.5 for Dovecot v2.1.16
by Stephan Bosch 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hello Dovecot users, Before I release the first version of Pigeonhole v0.4, I quickly release a few small but important fixes for Pigeonhole v0.3. Changelog v0.3.5: - Sieve editheader extension: fixed interaction with the Sieve body extension. If used together, the deleteheader action could fail after a body test was performed. - Test suite: fixed a time zone dependency in the Sieve date extension tests. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.1/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.5.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.1/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.5.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.
