Oh, and doing all the prefetching stuff is made a lot easier by implementing the filesystem API change I had talked about previously (so at least indexes and dbox code would do all FS access via the API). And the FS API change will be a lot easier if doesn't need to support things like locking or overwriting data, so to do that also requires redesign of index files. I don't remember if I wrote specifics of that to this mailing list, but I've thought out most of that too. And the index redesign is the reason I'm considering v3.0 as the next version number after v2.0. (Although v2.1 might also come with some smaller new features while I'm also working on v3.0 features.)
Hi Timo,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts/plans about future changes/enhancements to dovecot like this - I really enjoy reading them, and I'm sure others do too...
