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

v1.0.14 released
by Timo Sirainen 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.14.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.14.tar.gz.sig Since v1.1.0 release is getting near, this could well be the last v1.0 release. I'll still fix important bugs, but if the bugfix is large or affects only few people it'll probably get fixed only in v1.1 releases. * mbox: Enable mail_privileged_group while creating INBOX. - IMAP: Fixed a rare crash in FETCH BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE - IMAP: If mailbox is selected with EXAMINE, ignore flag changes - proxy: Login success reply was sent in two IP packets, which confused some IMAP/POP3 clients - ACL plugin leaked memory a bit - dovecot-auth: allow_nets setting with network masks didn't work correctly with big endian machines.

I can't think of anything I've done since rc5 that would have touched that part of the code though.

v1.1.rc6 released
by Timo Sirainen 30 May '08

30 May '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc6.tar.gz.sig This is it. The first v1.1 release that actually deserves the "release candidate" name. It contains everything I require from v1.1.0 release. There are two bugs left that I'd like to get fixed, but they won't block v1.1.0 release: * index_mailbox_set_recent_uid() assert (reported by Diego Liziero) * Maildir not always finding new messages and returning them as empty (reported by Anders). The major change in v1.1.rc6 release is the SORT indexing half-rewrite. I hadn't much stress tested that code before, and once I started I just kept finding more and more weird bugs and it became extremely difficult to figure out how to fix them, so I finally decided to just redesign how it's supposed to work and then implemented that. The resulting sort code is a lot cleaner and it should also perform better (although it could still be improved a bit: the basic binary searching could be replaced with one that first binary searches between already-looked-up sort-strings and only after that binary searches the resulting space which requires slower sort-string lookups). Hopefully there are also no stupid bugs left like returning messages in wrong sort order. :) I've been wasting time this past week getting new stuff for my new apartment, but that's nearly done now. I think (hope) I'm going to be more productive in here, there are less neighbours behind walls/floors (just 1), so less potential for annoying noises. :) Thinking also seems to work better when there's more space to walk around. And finally, the changes since v1.1.rc5: * Index file format changed a bit. If an older Dovecot v1.1 reads index files updated by rc6+, they may give "Invalid header record size" or "ext reset: invalid record size" warnings. v1.0 won't give these errors. * IMAP: LIST .. RETURN (X-STATUS) command return now LIST entries before STATUS entries. * zlib plugin: Uncompress if the message begins with zlib header instead of looking at the 'Z' flag. This fixes copying with hard links. Based on a patch by Richard Platel. + IMAP: SORT index handling code was half-rewritten to fix several bugs when multiple sessions were sorting at the same time. The new code is hopefully also faster. + Maildir: If POP3 UIDL extra field is found from dovecot-uidlist, it's used instead of the default UIDL format (or X-UIDL: header). This allows easily preserving UIDLs when migrating from other POP3 servers. Patch by Nicholas Von Hollen @ Mailtrust. + Maildir: ,W=<vsize> is now always added to maildir filenames + deliver: Avoid reading dovecot-uidlist's contents if possible. + Added %T modifier = Trim whitespace from end of string - IMAP: Fixed some bugs in LIST-EXTENDED implementation. - IMAP: If client tries to change the selected mailbox state while another command is still running, wait until the command is finished. This fixes some crashes and other unwanted behavior. - allow_nets userdb setting was broken with big endian CPUs

Sieve plugins 1.0.3 and 1.1.5 released
by Timo Sirainen 16 May '08

16 May '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.0.3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.0.3.tar.gz.sig http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.1.5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.1.5.tar.gz.sig I've usually released new Sieve plugins at the same time as new Dovecot versions, but since I wasn't planning on releasing v1.0.14 anytime soon and it looks like v1.0.2 release was quite a while ago, I decided to release these today. Changes: - Improved vacation reply checks, log discarded vacation replies (in v1.0.3, these were already in v1.1.0) - Expand ~ to home directory in sieve path - If compiled script has the exact same mtime as the source script, assume the script hasn't changed (changed "<" check to "<="). - Unfold multiline headers before comparing them. - Improved error logging.

v1.1.rc5 released
by Timo Sirainen 05 May '08

05 May '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc5.tar.gz.sig I've finally gone through all my unread mails and fixed most of the reported bugs. There are only a couple ones left that I can't reproduce. Please report if you still have any problems with rc5, even if you already have reported the same bug before. v1.1.rc6 will hopefully be the last RC before v1.1.0. + Support cross-realm Kerberos 5 authentication. Based on patch by Zachary Kotlarek. + Added dict_db_config setting to point to a Berkeley DB config file. + If mail_chroot ends with "/.", remove chroot prefix from home directory. - Fixed several bugs and memory leaks in ACL plugin. LIST and LSUB may have listed mailboxes where user had no 'l' access. STORE could have been used to update any flags without appropriate access. - mbox: Valid-looking From_-lines in message bodies caused the message to be split to two messages (broken since v1.0). - Plugin initialization hooks were called in wrong order, possibly causing problems when multiple plugins were used at the same time. - Expire plugin was broken - LIST-EXTENDED options were ignored. - LDAP: Static attribute names weren't working correctly - deliver: mail_uid and mail_gid settings weren't used. - pop3 + maildir++ quota: maildirsize file wasn't created if it didn't exist already. - dnotify: Waiting for dotlock to be deleted used 100% CPU

v1.1.rc4 released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc4.tar.gz.sig I didn't have time/energy to fix everything I wanted, so it'll probably be a few more RCs left until v1.1.0. This is anyway an important release, because it fixes two buffer overflows in search code which have been in all v1.1 releases (but not v1.0). Really stupid mistakes, I must have been tired or something when writing the code.. Anyway I now added code to notice these kind of buffer overflows when they happen (if --enable-debug is used), so hopefully these will be the last ones. * Fixed two buffer overflows in str_find_init(). It was used by SEARCH code when searching for headers or message body. Added code to catch these kind of overflows when compiling with --enable-debug. Found by Diego Liziero. + LDAP: Added debug_level and ldaprc_path settings (OpenLDAP-only) + Squat: Added fts_squat = partial=n full=m settings. See the wiki. - dbox metadata updating fixes. - quota: backend=n didn't work - SEARCH RECENT may have returned non-recent messages if index files were created by v1.0. - If mailbox was opened as read-only with EXAMINE, STOREs were permanently saved. - LDAP: Templates were somewhat broken (by richs at whidbey.net)
