A new test release for a change. Fixed several problems with indexes, especially related to transaction log rotating (pretty easy to find bugs when you set them to be rotated every 5 seconds and keep bombing the same mailbox with 10 test clients).
Please report both new and old bugs. The changes might have fixed lots of different randomly occuring problems.
The most important bugfixes were also done to dovecot-stable. The tarball is already updated.
Looking at changelog, there seems to be:
- Don't crash if client disconnects in the middle of APPEND
- LDAP and static passdbs can return "extra parameters" (http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthSpecials) now. Only SQL did before.
- Added "nice" extra parameter for userdb to set imap/pop3 process's priority
- RPA/SQL passdb patches from Andrey
- Major rearrangements (again) to auth code:
- Blocking passdbs (SQL) now create auth worker processes to do the actual blocking work. auth_worker_max_count setting specifies the maximum number of these processes to create. PAM and checkpassword code should be fixed to use this method as well.
- Fallback to using expired records from auth cache if database lookups fail.
- multiple auth setting blocks still not working
- Transaction logs are now rotated when they're over 128kB and created (not updated as before) more than 5 minutes ago. So with high traffic mailboxes the log file shouldn't grow forever anymore..
- other fixes and cleanups
