and who forces you jumping to 2.2 right now?
missing good examples on maillist that it works
there is also 2.0 and 2.1
2.0 = abysmal 2.1 as of around 2.1.12-ish I deemed dovecot 2.anything, stable and production ready, it has yet to prove me wrong
and it will be stable 2.3 ?
The problem with dovecot is, Timo does not release rc's or beta's where this testing could show the bugs found and ironed out for a _real_ release this is why it often takes 10 or so point releases for most bugs to come to light and be fixed. I can assure you, I likely will not move production to 2.2 until 2.2.some_high_number
1.x does nobody interest since years
its removed in gentoo, funtoo, freebsd, opensuse, and properly other stupid os's, but why care ?
Indeed, 1.2.x was essentially unbreakable, with only one minor irritation, but that would only occur maybe once a year and then only under certain circumstances, most 1.2.x users may never even see it. There is no reason why 1.2.16 (IIRC the latest) wont be production quality in another five or more years, unless a system crippling major mother of all exploits is found in it.
