Hello Dovecot users,

It has been about two months since the last release of the new Sieve implementation and the ManageSieve service for Dovecot v1.2. Therefore, this release contains quite a few changes. It adds new sieve features like the enotify extension and multiscript support. Also, quite a few (user-reported) bugs were fixed since the last release.

Changelog Sieve v0.1.3:

• Adapted to changes in Dovecot, making this release dependent on Dovecot >= 1.2.beta1
• Made mail address comparison fully case-insensitive. This is particularly noticeable for the :addresses argument of the vacation command.

• Finished enotify extension. Currently, only the mailto notification method is implemented. All still needs to be tested thoroughly.
• Implemented multiscript support. It is now possible to execute multiple Sieve scripts sequentially. Administrator-controlled scripts can be executed before and after the user's script. Still needs to be tested thoroughly.
• Implemented support for configuring the available Sieve extensions.
• Made the subaddress extension (partially) configurable using the sieve_subaddress_sep setting, which allows specifying a (multi-charater) separator other than '+'.
• Compiler now warns about invalid header field names used for the header and address tests.
• Vacation extension now properly generates a References header for the response message.
• Added testing of basic result execution to the test suite. Also added support for testing the outgoing messages produced by the Sieve interpreter.
• Included execution of the actual result in the sieve-test command line tool. The undocumented sieve-exec tool that existed for this is now removed as planned.
• Added support for the now obsolete 'imapflags' extension for backwards compatibility with CMUSieve. This also implements the mark/unmark commands.

• Fixed bugs in the regex extension: 1) if an optional match value did not in fact match, subsequent match values would get unexpected indexes. 2) fixed segfault bug occuring when regex is freed.
• Fixed bug in the use of the :from agrument for the vacation command. If this address included a phrase part, the response would not be a valid RFC822 message.
• Plugged a theoretical security hole occuring when a directory is opened as a Sieve binary.
• Cleaned up and fixed various log messages.
• Fixed bug in the outgoing address verification. Addresses ending in ',' were erroneously accepted.

Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.3:

• Changed the SASL service name from "managesieve" into "sieve" as required in the protocol specification. Don't forget to adjust your configuration if your authentication mechanism depends on this service name.
• Adapted to changes in Dovecot, making this release dependent on Dovecot >= v1.2.beta1.
• Adapted to changes in the new Sieve implementation, making this release dependent on Dovecot Sieve >= v0.1.3 if used. The old cmusieve plugin is still supported.

• Implemented making the SIEVE and NOTIFY capability fully dynamic, meaning that the sieve_extensions setting that was introduced for the new Sieve plugin properly affects the ManageSieve daemon as well.
• Added support for the CHECKSCRIPT command. In terms of the supported commands, the ManageSieve daemon now complies with protocol VERSION 1.0 as listed in the CAPABILITY response.

• Fixed maximum permissions for uploaded scripts; was 0777. This was shielded however by the default umask (not documented to be configurable), so the actual permissions would never have been 0777.
• Fixed a segfault bug in the authentication time-out. Bug report and trace provided by Wolfgang Friebel.
• Fixed handling of ~/ in use of mail-data for script location.
• Fixed small problems in the login proxy support.
