[Dovecot] 0.99.12 released
One change since -rc1 (the last one below).
- Fix memory leaks in LDAP, MySQL and PGSQL userdb/passdb
- Fix hanging when parsing mails that have over 4096 bytes in one
line (SMTP servers normally don't allow over 1000 bytes so it
shouldn't be much of a problem)
- FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE sometimes gave a wrong reply
(eg. with FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE RFC822.SIZE) if it wasn't cached)
- Never return more than one INBOX in LIST even if there are such
files. They don't work anyway and it just confuses clients.
- mbox: Don't allow creating INBOX directory by creating/renaming
mailboxes under it. They just wouldn't work.
- POP3: Don't return PLAIN in SASL list. We don't support initial SASL
responses, so it only breaks with most clients that try to use it.
- IMAP and POP3 login processes may have sent each line in two IP
packets, one with the data and another with CR+LF. Some clients
didn't work because of this.Timo Sirainen wrote:

What's the best version of dovecot to be using in a production environment? Which version is considered the most stable? The latest build 0.99.12 ?
Are there any issues I thoud be aware of with regard to using dovecot 0.99.12 as a POP server in addition to IMAP ? My mailstore is in Maildir format.
Thanks,
Paul

0.99.12 is "stable", but if you happen to hit any strange bugs they're not likely to get fixed anymore. I'm focusing only on 1.0-tests, but they aren't ready for production use yet.

I guess 0.99.12 works pretty well as POP server now that I removed the AUTH=PLAIN from capabilities, so Eudora should work with it again..
Thanks Timo,

OK. 1.0 is targetted for release around Spring 2005, is that right? Will upgrading from 0.99.12 be easy or will all index need to be deleted and regenerated?
I presume the POP server part doesn't use the indexes, as thats mostly for IMAP performance?

OK. That's good to know.

Hopefully.

Configuration file has had a lot of changes, so you'll have to do that again. 1.0-tests use differently named index files so you'll just have to delete the old ones. Maybe I'll make that automatic as well.

POP3 needs to know sizes of messages and those are stored in indexes. Otherwise it'd have to read though all the mails to find out the sizes and that's slow.

Perhaps a configuration option to seek out and destroy old dovecot control files on login; an option which could eventually be phased out or turned off.
or some generic login-hook.

The config.log is at http://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/~hf/dovecot-0.99.12-config.log.gz .
It seems that this is due to a GNU make-ism introduced at line 289 of src/lib/Makefile.in:
-include $(DEP_FILES)
Either use gmake, or hope that Timo (or someone else) produces a patch to work with BSD make once again :)

Ah, autoconf. Got to love it.

The latter would be nice, since 0.99.11 as well as the 1.0-test* versions build fine with BSD make.
