v1.1.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.2.tar.gz.sig Development of new features in this release and the upcoming multi-master replication are sponsored by Directi (www.directi.com) Lucene indexing is currently deprecated in favor of the new Solr indexing. I'm even considering removing the Lucene C++ library support, so if you're interested in keeping it send me a mail. Note that the current fts-lucene is somewhat broken as well as non-optimal. Anyone interested in using zlib plugin with Maildir should read http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib. I'm hoping to get the first v1.2 betas out in a couple of weeks and an eventual v1.2.0 release in a couple of months. + Added full text search indexing support for Apache Lucene Solr server: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr + IMAP SORT: Added X-SCORE sort key for use with Solr searches. + zlib plugin supports now bzip2 also. + quota: All backends now take noenforcing parameter. + Maildir: Add ,S=<size> to maildir filename whenever quota plugin is loaded, even when not using Maildir++ quota. + deliver: Allow lda section to override plugin settings. + deliver: Giving a -m <namespace prefix> parameter now silently saves the mail to INBOX. This is useful for e.g. -m INBOX/${extension} + Added a new maildirlock utility for write-locking Dovecot Maildir. + dict-sql: Support non-MySQL databases by assuming they implement the "INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY" using an INSERT trigger. - SORT: Fixed several crashes/errors with sort indexing. - IMAP: BODYSTRUCTURE is finally RFC 3501 compliant. Earlier versions didn't include Content-Location support. - IMAP: Fixed bugs with listing INBOX. - Maildir: maildirfolder file wasn't created when dovecot-shared file existed on the root directory - deliver didn't expand %variables in namespace location settings. - zlib: Copying non-compressed messages resulted in empty mails (except when hardlink-copying between maildirs). - mbox-snarf plugin was somewhat broken - deliver + Maildir: If uidlist couldn't be locked while saving, we might have assert-crashed - mbox: Fixed an assert-crash with \Recent flag handling

v1.1.1 released
by Timo Sirainen 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.1.tar.gz.sig Hopefully this release lives a bit longer than v1.1.0. - Maildir: When migrating from v1.0 with old format dovecot-uidlist files, Dovecot may have appended lines to it using the new format and later broken with "UID larger than next_uid" error.

21 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.15.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.15.tar.gz.sig Still some last fixes to v1.0 series: - IMAP: SORT SUBJECT and THREAD didn't create base subjects correctly - Maildir: Expunged messages may have never gotten removed from dovecot-uidlist - mbox: Fixed a crash when adding a new X-IMAPbase: header with keywords. - Multiple "socket listen" auth blocks should have been possible, but Dovecot failed to start with a "With connect auth socket no other sockets can be used in same auth section" error.

v1.1.0 released
by Timo Sirainen 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.0.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.0.tar.gz.sig Two hours later than promised, I slept longer than intended. :) No changes since v1.1.rc13. Below are the largest changes since v1.0: * After Dovecot v1.1 has modified index or dovecot-uidlist files, they can't be opened anymore with Dovecot versions earlier than v1.0.2. * See doc/wiki/Upgrading.1.1.txt (or for latest changes, http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.1) for list of changes since v1.0 that you should be aware of when upgrading. + IMAP: Added support for UIDPLUS and LIST-EXTENDED extensions. + IMAP SORT: Sort keys are indexed, which makes SORT commands faster. + When saving messages, update cache file immediately with the data that we expect client to fetch later. + NFS caches are are flushed whenever needed. See mail_nfs_storage and mail_nfs_index settings. + Out of order command execution (SEARCH, FETCH, LIST), nonstandard command cancellation (X-CANCEL <tag>) + IMAP: STATUS-IN-LIST draft implementation + Expire plugin can be used to keep track of oldest messages in specific mailboxes. A nightly run can then quickly expunge old messages from the mailboxes that have them. The tracking is done using lib-dict, so you can use either Berkeley DB or SQL database. + Namespaces are supported everywhere now. + Namespaces have new list and subscriptions settings. + Full text search indexing support with Lucene and Squat backends. + OTP and S/KEY authentication mechanisms (by Andrey Panin). + mbox and Maildir works with both Maildir++ and FS layouts. You can change these by appending :LAYOUT=maildir++ or :LAYOUT=fs to mail_location. + LDAP: Support templates in pass_attrs and user_attrs + Support for listening in multiple IPs/ports. + Quota plugin rewrite: Support for multiple quota roots, warnings, allow giving storage size in bytes or kilo/mega/giga/terabytes, per-mailbox quota rules. + Filesystem quota backend supports inode limits, group quota and RPC quota for NFS. + SEARCH and SORT finally compare non-ASCII characters case-insensitively. We use i;unicode-casemap algorithm. + Config files support splitting values to multiple lines with \

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc13.tar.gz.sig There's always time for one more release candidate. :) I was planning on releasing v1.1.0 a couple of minutes before summer solstice (23:59 UTC according to Wikipedia). Maybe it'll bring luck to the release. :) - mbox: Fixed a crash when adding a new X-IMAPbase: header with keywords. - Message parser: Fixed assert-crash if cached MIME structure was broken. - Squat: Potential crashfix with mmap_disable=yes.

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc12.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc12.tar.gz.sig Sorry, one more RC because of the mbox+quota bug. v1.1.0 still planned for tomorrow. - mbox: Don't give "Can't find next message offset" warnings when plugin (e.g. quota) accesses the message being saved. - deliver: Settings inside protocol imap {} weren't ignored.

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc11.tar.gz.sig This is the final v1.1 RC. Tomorrow I'll change only the version number, update the documentation and call it v1.1.0. But please test this anyway to make sure I didn't happen to break anything since rc10 :) - dovecot-uidlist is now recreated if it results in file shrinking over 25%. - Some other minor fixes

v1.1.rc10 released
by Timo Sirainen 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc10.tar.gz.sig v1.1.0 will be released on next Friday if nothing horrible happens. * LIST X-STATUS renamed to LIST STATUS and fixed its behavior with LIST-EXTENDED options. It's now compatible with STATUS-IN-LIST draft 00. - Message parsing could have sometimes produced incorrect results, corrupting BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE replies and perhaps others. - SORT: Fixed several bugs - FreeBSD 7.0: Environment clearing wasn't working correctly. This caused "environment corrupted" problems at least with deliver trying to call sendmail and running Dovecot from inetd. - HP-UX: Several fixes to get it to work (by Christian Corti) - Fixes to using expire plugin with SQL dictionary. - dbox fixes

v1.1.rc9 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc9.tar.gz.sig Not many bug reports these last few days, so maybe this release will be a good one. + Maildir: When hardlink-copying a file, copy the W=<vsize> in the filename if it exists in the original filename. - mbox: With rc8 empty lines were inserted in the middle of saved mails' headers. - maildir: Fixed problems with opening newly saved messages which we saw in index file but couldn't see in dovecot-uidlist. Happened only when messages weren't saved via Dovecot (deliver or IMAP). - Several bugfixes to handling sort indexes - deliver: Boolean settings that were supposed to default to "yes" were set to "no" unless explicitly defined in dovecot.conf: dotlock_use_excl, maildir_copy_with_hardlinks, mbox_dirty_syncs, mbox_lazy_writes.

v1.1.rc8 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc8.tar.gz.sig I then decided to add the deliver -c feature to this release. Seems to work in my tests, but who knows if it breaks something.. Although most of the code is called only if -c parameter is given. Anyway we really should have a comprehensive test suite written some day (yes, help is really wanted for this :). So let's hope this is the last RC release. If there aren't any major problems I'll release v1.1.0 in a couple of weeks. I'll also try to merge all my different development trees into a single v1.2 code tree within a few weeks. v1.2.0 will probably be released this summer as well, since it mainly has new features that don't change existing code all that much (CONDSTORE is a bit invasive though). + deliver: Added -c parameter to provide path to delivered mail. This allows maildir to save identical mails to multiple recipients using hard links. - rc6/rc7 broke POP3 with non-Maildir formats - mbox: Saving a message without a body or the end-of-headers line could have caused an assert-crash later. - Several dbox fixes
