[Dovecot] v1.0.14 released
http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.14.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.14.tar.gz.sig
Since v1.1.0 release is getting near, this could well be the last v1.0 release. I'll still fix important bugs, but if the bugfix is large or affects only few people it'll probably get fixed only in v1.1 releases.
* mbox: Enable mail_privileged_group while creating INBOX.
- IMAP: Fixed a rare crash in FETCH BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE
- IMAP: If mailbox is selected with EXAMINE, ignore flag changes
- proxy: Login success reply was sent in two IP packets, which
confused some IMAP/POP3 clients
- ACL plugin leaked memory a bit
- dovecot-auth: allow_nets setting with network masks didn't work
correctly with big endian machines.Matthias Andree wrote:
So include the work-around (that doesn't break anything) in Dovecot, and notify the maintainers of the broken clients to "Get a clue(tm)" :P
It does improve login latency for everyone... sure, not by much for most, but hey... :P

Yup. Buffered reads are a virtue :-)

By how long? Generation time of the 2nd packet *header* providing it's not reassembled along the path? Wow, impressive. Not. Buys you some 300 bits, that's perhaps 70 µs on my DSL, as the 2nd packet would usually be within the TCP congestion window and be sent back to back to the 1st packet of the response, so no additional round trip delays. I'd be surprised if anyone noticed beyond "my broken client got pampered up".
OK, let's stop here and not be derisive or defaitist or otherwise destructive, it's a Pareto optimization and as such probably justified.

I also remember someone having a similar problem with Dovecot's old POP3 code which also sent CRLF separately, but don't remember what the client was. Mailing list archives could tell.

Which clients/versions? Can we name names?
Ah, a mobile phone. Which means a firmware upgrade, and a niche market, which means a client fix is less likely.
