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

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

07 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

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.

Released Pigeonhole v0.2.2 for Dovecot v2.0.8
by Stephan Bosch 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hello Dovecot users, The new Dovecot v2.0.8 release has a few changes that prompted changes in Pigeonhole as well. This means that a new release of Pigeonhole is also necessary, because otherwise things will not compile anymore. Apart from a few rather minor bugfixes, some of which originate in Dovecot, one TODO item has finally been resolved: the reject action uses the LDA mail reject API, meaning that the associated LDA settings now also work for Pigeonhole, as would be expected. Changelog v0.2.2: * LDA Sieve plugin: started using Dovecot LDA reject API for the reject extension. This means that the LDA reject_reason and reject_subject settings now also work for Pigeonhole's LDA Sieve plugin. * Did some work on the new sieve-filter tool. It is mostly functional, but it is not finished yet. * Dovecot change: services' default vsz_limits weren't being enforced correctly in earlier v2.0 releases. Now that they are enforced, you might notice that the default limits are too low and you need to increase them. This problem will show up in logs as "out of memory" errors. See default_vsz_limit and service { vsz_limit } settings. - Imap4flags: fixed segfault bug occurring in multiscript context. - Added version checking to the ManageSieve settings plugin. This plugin was forgotten when the LDA plugin was updated with this change in the previous release. - LDA Sieve plugin: fixed memory leak at deinitialization. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.2.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.2.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

v2.0.8 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.8.tar.gz.sig There are many small fixes all around, plus some more noticeable changes: * Services' default vsz_limits weren't being enforced correctly in earlier v2.0 releases. Now that they are enforced, you might notice that the default limits are too low and you need to increase them. This problem will show up in logs as "out of memory" errors. See default_vsz_limit and service { vsz_limit } settings. * LMTP: In earlier versions if mail was delivered to user+detail@domain address, LMTP server always attempted to deliver the mail to mailbox named "detail". This was rather unintentional and shouldn't have been the default. lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes setting now preserves this behavior (default is no). + Added systemd support (configure --with-systemdsystemunitdir). Based on patch by Christophe Fergeau. + Replaced broken mbox-snarf plugin with a new more generic snarf plugin. - dbox: Fixes to handling external mail attachments - verbose_proctitle=yes didn't work for all processes in v2.0.7 - imap, pop3: When service { client_count } was larger than 1, the log messages didn't use the correct prefix. Last logged in user's prefix was always used, regardless of what user's session actually logged it. Now the proper log prefix is always used. - MySQL: Only the first specified host was ever used

v2.0.7 released
by Timo Sirainen 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.7.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.7.tar.gz.sig * master: default_process_limit wasn't actually used anywhere, rather the default was unlimited. Now that it is enforced, you might notice that the default limit is too low and you need to increase it. Dovecot logs a warning when this happens. * mail-log plugin: Log mailbox name as virtual name rather than physical name (e.g. namespace prefix is included in the name) + doveadm dump: Added imapzlib type to uncompress IMAP's COMPRESS DEFLATE I/O traffic (e.g. from rawlog). - IMAP: Fixed LIST-STATUS when listing subscriptions with subscriptions=no namespaces. - IMAP: Fixed SELECT QRESYNC not to crash on mailbox close if a lot of changes were being sent. - quota: Don't count virtual mailboxes in quota - doveadm expunge didn't always actually do the physical expunging - Fixed some index reading optimizations introduced by v2.0.5. - LMTP proxying fixes
