I think we're quite near v1.0 now.
- Added mail_log plugin to log various mail operations. Currently it logs mail copies, deletions, expunges and mailbox deletions.
Just a suggestion... maybe put a freeze on new features and stabilize 1.0 with the current feature set and a known-bugs list. The config file has already been revised several times throughout the RC series, so maybe that means that too much development is happening under a "release candidate" banner?
I'm looking at this from a production admin's point of view: It's getting somewhat amusing to see more and more RCs, when the core functionality is pretty much "done". Problem is, RCs are not really preferred for a production deployment in the eyes of nontechnical people. What a production environment needs is a nailed down version that doesn't change features and only puts in critical fixes.
From what I can see, dovecot could have released a 1.0 two or three RCs ago and released bugfixes via a 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc. branch, with new development in a 1.1-beta line. Timo, we believe in your code... it works... so *please* slap a real release number on it, and we can finally convince others that it's time to switch. :)
