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 \

Congratulations! I'm waiting for the FreeBSD port before test and use the 1.1 version :-)
