v0.98.3 2002-10-01 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> * Sorry, just noticed a very stupid bug which caused evolution 1.2 beta to crash. I always thought it was just evolution's fault :) - Several fields in BODY / BODYSTRUCTURE replies weren't quoted

[dovecot] 0.98.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Lets see if I fixed all the nasty bugs now. v0.98.2 2002-09-30 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> + --with-file-offset-size=32 can now be used to select 32bit file offsets. Using them should be a bit faster and take a bit less disk and memory (also needed to compile Dovecot successfully with TinyCC). + maildir_copy_with_hardlinks option works now + Check new mail and notify about it to client also after commands which don't allow full syncing (FETCH, STORE, SEARCH). Also always send RECENT after EXISTS notify. + If we're out of disk space while opening mailbox, notify about it with ALERT. - STORE and SEARCH didn't handle properly message sequence numbers when some in the middle were externally deleted - SEARCH: Only first search condition was checked. - mbox: Message flags given to APPEND were ignored. - mbox: index was corrupted when changing flags for multipart MIME messages - Out of disk space-handling wasn't working properly with .customflags file - if auth processes were killed, login processes weren't reconnecting to them

Guess I should have waited one more day before releasing 0.98 :) This fixes a few mbox problems and should finally make it safe to use. Also fixes a bug of not allowing to save mail larger than 8kB.

[dovecot] 0.98 released
by Timo Sirainen 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

0.98 released. This release includes LOTS of bugfixes after almost 4 weeks of actual use. We've mostly tested with Outlook 2000, Outlook Express 6 and Evolution 1.0.8. I haven't heard of a single bug in maildir for several days, and mbox worked quite well first time today :) New features include vpopmail authentication, ability to run properly when there's no disk space left to allow user to delete mail, and full support for mbox. v0.98 2002-09-23 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> + mbox support is finally working. There's still some reliability fixes left but overall it should be quite usable. + vpopmail authentication support + We should be able to deal with "out of diskspace/quota" conditions properly, by keeping the indexes in memory and allowing user to delete mails to get more space. + Several speed enhancements + New configuration file option: overwrite_incompatible_index to force using ".imap.index" file, overwriting it if it isn't compatible - Handle invalid message headers reliably - Tons of bugfixes and code cleanups everywhere

[dovecot] vpopmail authentication
by Timo Sirainen 20 Sep '02

20 Sep '02

CVS has now support for vpopmail authentication. .c file compiles, but I'm not sure if I did the other checks properly and if it actually works :) If someone here is using it, could you test it? At least to see if configure detects it and if it compiles/links. BTW. I think maildir support is now working quite well, 0.98 isn't far away.
