[Dovecot] v2.1.beta1 released
http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/beta/dovecot-2.1.beta1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/beta/dovecot-2.1.beta1.tar.gz.sig
Here's the first beta release of Dovecot v2.1. This version has already been tested quite a lot, so I'm not expecting any major bugs. So please upgrade and see if you can find any problems. I'm optimistic about getting rc1 released this year and perhaps even v2.1.0.
Since alpha2 there have been a lot of fixes, especially to imapc backend. There are probably also some small new features, but nothing huge.
As a reminder, here's the largest changes since v2.0:
* Plugins now use UTF-8 mailbox names rather than mUTF-7:
acl, autocreate, expire, trash, virtual
* auth_username_format default changed to %Lu. If you really want
case sensitive usernames, set it back to empty.
* Solr full text search backend changed to use mailbox GUIDs instead of
mailbox names, requiring reindexing everything. solr_old backend can
be used with old indexes to avoid reindexing, but it doesn't support
some newer features.
+ imapc (= IMAP client) storage allows using a remote IMAP server to
be used as storage. This allows using Dovecot as a smart (caching)
proxy or using dsync to do migration from remote IMAP server.
+ Mailbox indexing via queuing indexer service (required for Lucene)
+ Lucene full text search (FTS) backend rewritten with support for
different languages
+ FTS finally supports "OR" search operation
+ FTS supports indexing attachments via external programs
+ IMAP FUZZY extension, supported by Lucene and Solr FTS backends
+ Mailbox list indexes
+ Statistics tracking via stats service. Exported via doveadm stats.
+ Autocreate plugin creates/subscribes mailboxes physically only when
the mailbox is opened for the first time. Mailbox listing shows the
autocreated mailboxes even if they don't physically exist.
+ Password and user databases now support default_fields and
override_fields settings to specify template defaults/overrides.

Ok, I guess it is time for a Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.1. I'm a bit swamped this week, but next weekend I should be able to compose one. For now you can use the dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole hg and patch it with http://hg.rename-it.nl/pigeonhole-0.2-dovecot-2.1-patches/file/tip/pigeonhol... to make it compile against v2.1.
Regards,
Stephan.

I have an update on this. Although there is no tarball release so far, I did start a separate repository with Pigeonhole (v0.3.x) for Dovecot v2.1:
http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole
This means that the patch procedure mentioned above is no longer necessary.
From this point onwards, new features are only implemented for Pigeonhole v0.3.x, unless a back-port can be achieved with little risk and effort. First in line is support for the editheader extension, which I expect to finish next week.
Regards,
Stephan.

I have been running the alpha for some time now. I have today tried compiling this -beta, but I saw so many warning about linking libraries, which I ignored, but it did fail with:
Making all in wiki make: don't know how to make 2b. Stop *** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/home/wash/Tools/Dovecot/dovecot-2.1.beta1/doc. *** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/home/wash/Tools/Dovecot/dovecot-2.1.beta1. *** Error code 1

I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Probably plugin warnings which you can safely ignore.

Looks like there's some weird file went into wiki docs, which some makes don't like. You could just find the line containing "2b" from doc/wiki/Makefile and delete it.
