V2 of dovecot has had the following releases (to recap)
2.0.0 2010-08-16 2.0.1 2010-08-24 2.0.2 2010-09-08 2.0.3 2010-09-17 2.0.4 2010-09-26 2.0.5 2010-10-01
I am on FreeBSD, and the port committers want to wait till dovecot V2 "stabilizes" prior to adding it to the FreeBSD ports base.
So, my question is, respectfully, is dovecot V2.0.5 stable enough for prime-time on a busy ISP mail server? I'll install it myself independent of the FreeBSD ports tree if so.
Five updates in something like 63 days is certainly not encouraging. I am sure that Timo is doing the best he can; however, unless you had some over whelming need to update, and I would really like to know what this is, I would recommend waiting. By the way, I am also using FreeBSD-8.1/amd64. Until Dovecot can go a few months without a patch being issued, I think I'll wait. I certainly don't need any clients waking me up at 3 o'clock in the morning.
