ChangeLog contains somewhat more exact entries. But I don't think many
people care about the exact reason. For example the last 3 could have
been instead (their hg commit messages):

• Maildir: Use i_stream_stat() instead of i_stream_get_fd()+fstat().
  Fixes zlib plugin.
• Maildir: Make sure messages are removed from index if they are
  deleted externally from new/.
• message header parser: Don't set hdr->continues=TRUE when hdr-

eoh=TRUE.

But no one would have any idea what last 2 of those would be useful for.

Hi

Sorry if this a FAQ, but this updates report looks rather vague. The
four statements all say that "in case of xxx, yyy /could/ happen".
Wouldn't it be better to document what the actual bug in in the old
version, as in "buffer overflow at xxx" etc?

Fixes a couple of bugs in v1.1.15's changes. Hopefully the last v1.1 release before v1.2.0.

• v1.1.15 could have crashed if mailbox-closing command was
  pipelined after a mailbox-accessing command.
• v1.1.15's zlib plugin may have caused crashes when fetching INTERNALDATE.
• Maildir: If messages had been deleted externally from new/
  directory and mailbox was opened with EXAMINE, Dovecot didn't immediately notice that the messages were deleted.
• If message body started with a space, some operations could have assert-crashed.

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres
intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å
unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de
fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
