Hello Dovecot users,
RC2 had one more important bug caused by the new sieve_default_name feature. To prevent causing more of such rather stupid bugs in the future, I created an external shell-based test suite to test dovecot-lda delivery, the doveadm sieve tools and ManageSieve. These kind of tests aren't possible with the current Sieve-based test suite that is included in the Pigeonhole tarball. Now I can test most basic top-level Pigeonhole functionality in one go.
Additionally, I created one new feature for ManageSieve. It allows logging various statistics at client disconnect, much like POP3 currently supports. This is e.g. useful for debugging. In the process, I fixed a few ManageSieve bugs as well.
If RC3 doesn't cause any more issues, I will release 0.4.8 this Friday.
Changelog v0.4.8 (updated):
- LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17.
- Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way.
- ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect. Statistics include the number of bytes and scripts uploaded/downloaded/checked and the number of scripts deleted/renamed.
- Fixed problem in address test: erroneously decoded mime-encoded words in address headers.
- extprograms plugin: Fixed failure occurring when connecting to script service without the need to read back the output from the external program.
- Fixed bug in script storage path normalization occurring with relative symbolic links below root.
- Fixed and updated various parts of the documentation
- ManageSieve: Used "managesieve" rather than "sieve" as login service name, which means that all managesieve-specific settings where ignored.
- Managesieve: Storage quota was not always enforced properly for scripts uploaded as quoted string. Nobody uses that, but it is allowed in the specification and we support it, so it should work properly.
The release is available as follows:
http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc3.... http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc3....
Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems.
