Looks like you're close to 1.0 Timo. Just in time perhaps to make the the Fedora Core 6 release.

Can everyone now agree that there are no more hangs? :)

Seems to be working well so far here (nothing post rc2 did until now!) on NetBSD/amd64 -current with checkpasswd, Maildir, and imaps. Thanks for all the work Timo!

Hi,

works well here on Solaris 9 / SPARC with gcc 3.4.2

Thanks for the good work. Charles

• Require that Dovecot master process's version number matches the child process's, unless version_ignore=yes. Usually it's an accidental installation problem if the version numbers don't match.
• Maildir: Create maildirfolder file when creating new maildirs.

• ldap+prefetch: Use global uid/gid settings if LDAP query doesn't return them
• %variables: Negative offsets count from the end of the string. Patch by Johannes Berg.

• kqueue ioloop code rewrite
• notify=kqueue might have caused connection hangs sometimes
• deliver: If message body contained a valid mbox From_ line, it and the rest of the message was skipped.
• mbox: We got into infinite loops if trying to open a 2 byte sized file as mbox.
• Don't crash with ssl_disable=yes
• quota plugin caused compiling problems with some OSes
• mbox: After saving a mail to a synced mbox, we lost the sync which caused worse performance

I think my v1.0 TODO list is:

• avoid duplicate flag change notifications, or in case the message is also expunged don't bother notifying its flag changes at all (shouldn't be hard)
• HFS+ avoid-hardlinks patch?
• 32bit -> 64bit upgrade still doesn't work without assert-crashing: mail-cache-transaction.c: line 709 (mail_cache_add): assertion failed: (fixed_size == (unsigned int)-1 || fixed_size == data_size)
• Courier-compatible INBOX. namespace gives "invalid namespace" errors

I'm still not sure about the last one though. Could someone give me specific commands that clients send that causes it?

As for the 32bit -> 64bit upgrade fix, could someone give me access to a x86-64 machine for a while to test it out?

To confirm: the functionality added since rc2 to do offset from the end of a string using a negative number (e.g. "%-2.02i gives the UID mod 100") seems to work OK in our case (which is that example!).

Many thanks.

Timo,

My setup: Solaris 9 (soon to be 10), imap and imaps. I had had problems with rc4, rc5, rc6 and had remained at rc2. rc7 died a couple of hours after upgrading with the following syslog message:

Aug 18 10:45:01 emerald dovecot: [ID 920869 mail.error] Login process died too early - shutting down

I went in and doubled login_max_processes_count and login_max_connections in the conf file, restarted, and it has stayed up since then. I had to double these two settings during beta releases but not the early rc releases.

A more useful syslog message might help others, something like "too many connections".

Unfortunately, not. :(

I still see the occasional error in copying mail to the sent mailbox on Thunderbird 1.5.0.5.

There is a change in behavior, though. Before rc7 when I got the error for one message, all subsequent messages that I sent before restarting TB would also fail on copy to the mailbox. Now in rc7, if I send another message without restarting TB, the new message will likely be copied to the sent mailbox without a problem.

my configure line: ./configure --without-shadow --localstatedir=/var --with-ioloop=kqueue --with-cyrus-sasl2 --without-gssapi --without-vpopmail --prefix=/usr/local --build=i386-portbld-freebsd5.3

Thanks, Todd

I see many people reporting that there are no more hangs for them and I truly wish this were also the case for me. I thought it was just a crazy user or two, but I saw it this morning with my own eyes :) So it is happening still.

Thunderbird 1.5.0.5

dovecot --version 1.0.rc7

dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=poll notify=dnotify ipv6 openssl SQL drivers: mysql postgresql sqlite Passdb: checkpassword ldap pam passwd passwd-file shadow sql Userdb: checkpassword ldap passwd prefetch passwd-file sql static

There is nothing that shows up on the log files (just like before, with rc2) no errors, no timeouts, nothing. Suggestions and or ideas welcome. --Gabe
