v2.2.beta2 released
by Timo Sirainen 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/beta/dovecot-2.2.beta2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/beta/dovecot-2.2.beta2.tar.gz.sig A ton of fixes since beta1. Especially the new dsync and the replication server related to that should really work now. It also works correctly now for shared mailboxes with private \Seen flags. And the replication server uses incremental syncing after the initial full sync, so it should be pretty efficient also. I've only two things left to do before v2.2.rc1: 1. Implement dsync to work via TCP and TCP+SSL sockets. This is pretty easy to do actually, since it can use the existing doveadm-server to start up. 2. Read up all the pending mails from Dovecot mailing list and fix up the reported issues. Actually I guess most of those are for v2.1, but still I should get around to it. :) There shouldn't be any major bugs left, so I'm expecting v2.2.rc1 out in maybe a week or so, hopefully followed by the final v2.2.0 soon afterwards. Please test and report any bugs found!

v2.1.14 released
by Timo Sirainen 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.14.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.14.tar.gz.sig If you've been waiting for a fully stable release after the recent cache file troubles in v2.1.11+, this release should be the one. Hopefully there won't be v2.1.15 anytime in near future. (v2.2.rc1 does look close though.) BTW. I know there are quite a lot of mails I haven't replied to in dovecot list. Too busy for now.. + doveadm acl recalc command added - v2.1.11+ had a race condition where it sometimes overwrote data in dovecot.index.cache file. This could have caused Dovecot to return the same cached data to two different messages. - mdbox: Fixes to handling duplicate GUIDs during index rebuild

v2.2.beta1 released
by Timo Sirainen 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/beta/dovecot-2.2.beta1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/beta/dovecot-2.2.beta1.tar.gz.sig Lots of fixes since 2.2.alpha1, especially related to dsync. Also dsync now supports syncing private message flags when INDEXPVT is used. Here's again the list of all the major changes in v2.2: * When creating home directories, the permissions are copied from the parent directory if it has setgid-bit set. For full details, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions * "doveadm auth" command was renamed to "doveadm auth test" * IMAP: ID command now advertises server name as Dovecot by default. It was already trivial to guess this from command replies. * dovecot.index.cache files can be safely accessed only by v2.1.11+. Older versions may think they're corrupted and delete them. + Implemented IMAP MOVE and BINARY extensions + Implemented IMAP CATENATE, URLAUTH and URLAUTH=BINARY extensions (by Stephan Bosch). + Implemented IMAP NOTIFY extension. Requires mailbox_list_index=yes to be enabled. + Redesigned and rewritten dsync. The new design makes the syncing faster, more reliable and more featureful. The new dsync protocol isn't backwards compatible with old dsync versions (but is designed to be forwards compatible with future versions). + All mailbox formats now support per-user message flags for shared mailboxes by using a private index. It can be enabled by adding :INDEXPVT=<path> to mail location. This should be used instead of :INDEX also for Maildir/mbox to improve performance. + Improved mailbox list indexes. They should be usable now, although still disabled by default. + Added LAYOUT=index. The mailbox directories are created using their GUIDs in the filesystem, while the actual GUID <-> name mapping exists only in the index. + LMTP proxy: Implemented XCLIENT extension for passing remote IP address through proxy.

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.12.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.12.tar.gz.sig The dovecot-config file installed by v2.1.11 was missing quotes, which broke building Pigeonhole. This release fixes that.

29 Nov '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.11.tar.gz.sig * lmtp/lda: dovecot.index.cache file is no longer fully mapped to memory, allowing mail deliveries to work even if the file is huge. * auth: userdb passwd lookups are now done by auth worker processes instead of auth master process (as it was documented, but accidentally didn't work that way). + lmtp: lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes setting checks quota on RCPT TO. - lmtp: After successful proxying RCPT TO, the next one to a nonexistent user gave tempfail error instead of "user not found". - lmtp proxy: Fixed hanging if remote server was down. - imap: Fixed crash when SEARCH contained multiple KEYWORD parameters. - doveadm: Various fixes to handling doveadm-server connections. - -i <instance name> parameter for Dovecot tools didn't work correctly. - director was somewhat broken in v2.1.10. This version also includes various reliability enhancements. - auth: passdb imap was broken in v2.1.10.

Commercial features in Dovecot future: Object storage, archive
by Timo Sirainen 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi all, Dovecot Oy’s web pages at www.dovecot.fi have been updated. The products page lists two features that will be available for commercial licensing, extending the functionality of the basic open-source version of Dovecot. * Storing emails to (high-latency) object storage, initially supporting Amazon S3, Caringo CAStor and Scality. * Email archive storage. See http://www.dovecot.fi/products/index.html for details. I’ve been developing Dovecot for over 10 years now. For a long time it was my primary motivation in life to create the best IMAP server available :) I think I've pretty much accomplished that by now. The future is looking very bright for Dovecot: we will continue the open source development stronger than ever, but in addition, for the long term it needs some additional licensed components that bring the money to cover the cost for future Dovecot development and to be able to build up the support in a professional way. These new features will be added as plugins on top of Dovecot to extend the functionality. Note that I’m not just randomly choosing which features will be open and which will be licensed. Only some specific features will be licensed where my company is going to make money with partnerships and in other measurable ways.

v2.2.alpha1 released
by Timo Sirainen 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/alpha/dovecot-2.2.alpha1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/alpha/dovecot-2.2.alpha1.tar.gz.sig I wanted to start stabilizing v2.2 release some months ago already, but I somehow got stuck adding more and more features. Now it looks like all of the necessary API changes are done, so everything I'm planning on near future can still be added to v2.2 without major changes. The redesigned dsync hasn't had much testing yet, so avoid running it with important mails. Would be nice if people started testing and reporting any bugs. I was going to create some kind of a test suite for testing all the possible syncing combinations and also doing some random stress testing, but I haven't had time for that yet. The new dsync supports doing very fast syncs by saving the resulting state and giving it as command line parameter to the next sync. So for example doveadm sync -s "" > new-state saves the state and doveadm sync -s `cat new-state` continues from the saved state. The replicator code doesn't yet support this. * When creating home directories, the permissions are copied from the parent directory if it has setgid-bit set. For full details, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions * "doveadm auth" command was renamed to "doveadm auth test" * IMAP: ID command now advertises server name as Dovecot by default. It was already trivial to guess this from command replies. + Implemented IMAP MOVE and BINARY extensions + Implemented IMAP CATENATE, URLAUTH and URLAUTH=BINARY extensions (by Stephan Bosch). + Implemented IMAP NOTIFY extension. Requires mailbox_list_index=yes to be enabled. + Redesigned and rewritten dsync. The new design makes the syncing faster, more reliable and more featureful. The new dsync protocol isn't backwards compatible with old dsync versions (but is designed to be forwards compatible with future versions). + All mailbox formats now support per-user message flags for shared mailboxes by using a private index. It can be enabled by adding :INDEXPVT=<path> to mail location. This should be used instead of :INDEX also for Maildir/mbox to improve performance. + Improved mailbox list indexes. They should be usable now, although still disabled by default. + Added LAYOUT=index. The mailbox directories are created using their GUIDs in the filesystem, while the actual GUID <-> name mapping exists only in the index. + LMTP proxy: Implemented XCLIENT extension for passing remote IP address through proxy.
