We're happily running 1.0-beta3 in production (~20,000 users), but one
Nice, 20k users!
or two users have hit the bug in the Outlook-idle workaround, which is fixed in 1.0-beta5 (a couple of users are now using 1.0-beta5, but I'll wait to see if this bug a big issue before upgrading).
Well, that's stable enough for us ;-)
I'd agree with Odhiambo, the 1.0-betas are probably more stable than 0.99.x. I just get a bit jumpy when Timo replaces whole chunks of code in one go (like the ssl code rewrite in 1.0-beta4 that had to be reversed).
To sum up, yes, use the betas, but maybe wait a week or so after each release!
So I'll go with beta5 for now ;-)
I am a Fedora Extras CVS committer (and the Docs steering committee, if that matters) and just spoke to Ignacio, who does the Fedora RPMs for dovecot. He has a yum repo for the latest versions at:
http://fedora.ivazquez.net/yum/
Use:
http://fedora.ivazquez.net/yum/ivazquez.repo
Once saved in /etc/yum/repos.d/ enable via:
/etc/yum.repos.d even!
yum --enablerepo=ivazquez-alternatives install/update dovecot
Will use those RRMS (thought I'd post the url for others)
Installed beta5 via yum (above), converted old dovecot.conf to new version, running fine. And may I say, what a speed improvement, even though dovecot was extremely fast anyway!
We get about 2GB of e-mail a day through our servers and sifting the fedora archive on our servers, with 10k e-mails is a breeze.
Great work everyone!
Thanks,
Gavin.
Best Wishes, Chris

Dear List,
Is the latest test version suitable for production systems?
Our current servers use 0.99 on FC4 and we would like to add shared folders via the test version.
Has anyone migrated this way before?
Thanks,
Gavin.
