Timo, I dont know about any ldap-auth memory leak, but I still havent seen any responses about the issue myself and Matheus Antonio Oliveira have reported about ldap authentications against Active Directory using auth_bind. Any chance this could be looked at before the v1.0 release is finalised ?
This is causing us ever growing pain as all it takes is a single user to type their password wrongly and it locks out dovecot preventing anyone else from logging in until the service is restarted. I currently have a cron job checking dovecot every minute and restarting when necessary.
Last post on the issue: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-October/017073.html
Many thanks, Rob Coward

As you can probably guess from my today's burst of activity, I'm no longer extremely busy. Actually it looks like for the next 3-4 weeks I don't have anything especially time consuming to do. So it's time to get Dovecot v1.0 released :)
I've now read all the mails from this list again, and it looks like pretty much the only problems with rc10 was the mbox assert crash, which is now fixed.
My TODO contains:
v1.0 blocker:
- inetd logins are broken? I should look more into this.. I only remembered this just now while writing this mail.
New non-v1.0 blockers:
- trash plugin is apparently broken?
- mbox_min_index_size != 0 causes Invalid new transaction log sequence (4 >= 4)
The old preferrably-fixed-for-v1.0 items are:
- ldap auth is leaking memory? maybe not, maybe it's something else.
- master leaks log fds with kqueue. I don't have a machine to test this on. Could someone give me an account in some BSD system for a while to test this?
Anyway, I'll most likely release rc11 tomorrow, but it would be nice if you tested today's CVS snapshot already to see if I accidentally broke something. :) http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz
Oh and one thing that I wanted for Dovecot v1.0 was nice documentation. I think the current wiki is a bit chaotic. I started http://wiki.dovecot.org/NewIndex a long time ago. Maybe I should finish it finally and put it as the new main index..
