v2.0.14 released

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.14.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.14.tar.gz.sig It's been a while since the previous release.. I've been a bit busy with my newly created Dovecot support company, but it was also summer and I wasted some time doing nothing useful. :) Most of my recent time has gone to adding new features to v2.1 branch. I'm planning on releasing v2.1.alpha1 somewhat soon and the final v2.1.0 sometimes later this year. This v2.0.14 release also contains one larger new feature: Ability to list and kick imap/pop3 proxy connections. This is done via a new "ipc" process where all proxying login processes connect to, which allows doveadm to communicate with them. If you're not using these features, this change (and its potential bugs) should be pretty much invisible. BTW. I know there are still mails I haven't read & replied to. I'll try to get to them eventually, but you may as well re-send anything you want me to read sooner rather than 6 months from now. Some of the largest changes since v2.0.13: + doveadm: Added support for running mail commands by proxying to another doveadm server. + Added "doveadm proxy list" and "doveadm proxy kick" commands to list/kick proxy connections (via a new "ipc" service). + Added "doveadm director move" to assign user from one server to another, killing any existing connections. + Added "doveadm director ring status" command. + userdb extra fields can now return name+=value to append to an existing name, e.g. "mail_plugins+= quota". - script-login attempted an unnecessary config lookup, which usually failed with "Permission denied". - lmtp: Fixed parsing quoted strings with spaces as local-part for MAIL FROM and RCPT TO. - imap: FETCH BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (..)] may have crashed or not returned all data sometimes. - ldap: Fixed random assert-crashing with with sasl_bind=yes. - Fixes to handling mail chroots - Fixed renaming mailboxes under different parent with FS layout when using separate ALT, INDEX or CONTROL paths. - zlib: Fixed reading concatenated .gz files.

Hello Dovecot users, As promised, I hereby release new versions of Sieve and ManageSieve for Dovecot v1.2. These releases consist entirely of (backported) bugfixes and introduce no new features.

Changelog Sieve v0.1.19: - Enotify extension: fixed inappropriate return type in mailto URI parse function, also fixing ARM compiler warning. - Vacation extension: fixed handling of sendmail errors. It produced an additional confusing success message in case of error. - Removed header MIME-decoding to fix erroneous address parsing. Applies to address test and vacation command. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.13: - ManageSieve: fixed bug in UTF-8 checking of string values. The releases are available as follows: Sieve http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.19.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.19.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.13.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.13.tar.gz.… ManageSieve patch http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.17-managesieve-0.11.13.diff… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.17-managesieve-0.11.13.diff… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot wiki for more information.

Dovecot Solutions company
by Timo Sirainen 13 May '11

13 May '11

I recently created Dovecot Solutions Oy (Ltd) company with two other guys. We sell Dovecot support, development, etc. I was planning on announcing this only after we get an actual web site, but since I already told about it in Linuxtag today, I might as well tell everyone. The upcoming web site should have some more details, but if you already know you want to buy something, let me know. :)

v2.0.13 released
by Timo Sirainen 11 May '11

11 May '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz.sig I've almost managed to read my email backlog, but there are still some unanswered mails. Feel free to resend if you think I should have answered some of your mails. The most important changes since v2.0.12: + Added "doveadm index" command to add unindexed messages into index/cache. If full text search is enabled, it also adds unindexed messages to the fts database. + added "doveadm director dump" command. + pop3: Added support for showing messages in "POP3 order", which can be different from IMAP message order. This can be useful for migrations from other servers. Implemented it for Maildir as 'O' field in dovecot-uidlist. - doveconf: Fixed a wrong "subsection has ssl=yes" warning. - mdbox purge: Fixed wrong warning about corrupted extrefs. - sdbox: INBOX GUID changed when INBOX was autocreated, leading to trouble with dsync. - script-login binary wasn't actually dropping privileges to the user/group/chroot specified by its service settings. - Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names that contained NUL characters.

Released Pigeonhole v0.2.3 for Dovecot v2.0.12
by Stephan Bosch 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hello Dovecot users, It's been a while since the last Pigeonhole release. This new release adds support for the new vacation-seconds extension, which allows the vacation extension to reply more frequently than every day and allows specifying this interval in seconds instead of days. I've also fixed quite a few bugs that were reported in the last couple of months. Changelog v0.2.3: * Sieve-filter tool: finished implementing basic functionality. It is not quite ready yet, but it is available for those willing to experiment with it (needs --with-unfinished-features config to compile). Also includes man page. + Vacation extension now inhibits replies to messages from sender listed in :addresses, thus preventing replies to one of the user's other known addresses. + Vacation extension: implemented the (draft) vacation-seconds extension. This also adds min/max period configuration settings. Refer to doc/vacation.txt for configuration information. - ManageSieve: fixed bug in UTF-8 checking of string values. This is done by discarding the original implementation and migrating to the Dovecot API's UTF-8 functionality. - Sieve command line tools now avoid initializing the mail store unless necessary. This prevents sievec and sieve-dump from failing when executed by root for example. - Enotify extension: fixed inappropriate return type in mailto URI parse function, also fixing ARM compiler warning. - Vacation extension: fixed handling of sendmail errors. It produced an additional confusing success message in case of error. - Removed header MIME-decoding to fix erroneous address parsing. Applies to address test and vacation command. - Fixed segfault bug in extension configuration, triggered when unknown extension is mentioned in sieve_extensions setting. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.3.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.3.tar.gz.sig 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, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

12 Apr '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.12.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.12.tar.gz.sig Many small fixes, plus some more noticeable: + doveadm: Added "move" command for moving mails between mailboxes. + virtual: Added support for "+mailbox" entries that clear \Recent flag from messages (default is to preserve them). - dbox: Fixes to handling external attachments - dsync: More fixes to avoid hanging with remote syncs - dsync: Many other syncing/correctness fixes - doveconf: v2.0.10 and v2.0.11 didn't output plugin {} section right BTW. I'm moving again next weekend, this time to Helsinki. Hopefully I'll be living there for a while. :)

v2.0.11 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.11.tar.gz.sig Looks like v2.0.10 was a bit troublesome release. I expect this one to last longer. * dotlock_use_excl setting's default was accidentally "no" in all v2.0.x releases, instead of "yes" as in v1.1 and v1.2. Changed it back to "yes". - v2.0.10: LDAP support was broken - v2.0.10: dsyncing to remote often hanged (timed out in 15 mins)

v2.0.10 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.10.tar.gz.sig I thought it was finally time to make a new v2.0 release. Or probably it was a while ago already, but I've been a bit lazy this year. Maybe it's because this is the first time in last 5 years when all branches of Dovecot have been quite stable and I haven't been stressing on it. Of course there are some v2.0 features that still have some bugs, but few people are complaining about them. v2.1 development branch also appears to be pretty good shape. I'm hopeful that v2.1.rc1 will be out before summer. * LMTP: For user+detail@domain deliveries, the +detail is again written to Delivered-To: header. * Skip auth penalty checks from IPs in login_trusted_networks. + Added import_environment setting. + Added submission_host setting to send mails via SMTP instead of via sendmail binary. + Added doveadm acl get/set/delete commands for ACL manipulation, similar to how IMAP ACL extension works. + Added doveadm acl debug command to help debug and fix problems with why shared mailboxes aren't working as expected. - IMAP: Fixed hangs with COMPRESS extension - IMAP: Fixed a hang when trying to COPY to a nonexistent mailbox. - IMAP: Fixed hang/crash with SEARCHRES + pipelining $. - IMAP: Fixed assert-crash if IDLE+DONE is sent in same TCP packet. - LMTP: Fixed sending multiple messages in a session. - doveadm: Fixed giving parameters to mail commands. - doveadm import: Settings weren't correctly used for the import storage. - dsync: Fixed somewhat random failures with saving messages to remote dsync. - v2.0.9: Config reload didn't notify running processes with shutdown_clients=no, so they could have kept serving new clients with old settings.

v2.0.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.9.tar.gz.sig I'm still lagging behind in my email, but I guess it's time to release v2.0.9 anyway. - Linux: Fixed a high system CPU usage / high context switch count performance problem - Maildir: Avoid unnecessarily reading dovecot-uidlist while opening mailbox. - Maildir: Fixed renaming child mailboxes when namespace had a prefix. - mdbox: Don't leave partially written messages to mdbox files when aborting saving. - Fixed master user logins when using userdb prefetch - lda: Fixed a crash when trying to send "out of quota" reply - lmtp: If delivering duplicate messages to same user's INBOX, create different GUIDs for them. This helps to avoid duplicate POP3 UIDLs when pop3_uidl_format=%g. - virtual storage: Fixed saving multiple mails in a transaction (e.g. copy multiple messages). - dsync: Saved messages' save-date was set to 1970-01-01.
