mbox users really should upgrade, because by sending a message with a huge header you could basically cause a DoS (this problem exists only with v1.2.x, not with v1.0 or v1.1).

- mbox: Message header reading was unnecessarily slow. Fetching a
  huge header could have resulted in Dovecot eating a lot of CPU.
  Also searching messages was much slower than necessary.
- mbox, dbox, cydir: Mail root directory was created with 0770
  permissions, instead of 0700.
- maildir: Reading uidlist could have ended up in an infinite loop.
- IMAP IDLE: v1.2.7+ caused extra load by checking changes every
  0.5 seconds after a change had occurred in mailbox

I have a paper deadline this Friday, so a new release of Pigeonhole will be delayed until this weekend.

I've refreshed the ManageSieve patch for v1.2:

http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.11-managesieve-0.11.11.diff.... http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.11-managesieve-0.11.11.diff....

Sieve release will take more time.

Stephan.
