Not much has happened, but the APPEND bugfix is important since it was broken in test73 (at least). Summer makes me tired and lazy. :(
I've been trying to get keywords implemented in maildir. Hopefully works soon.. After that I'll create 1.0-stable2 (ugh. any other naming ideas?) branch of the code before merging the new master/config code.
- Fixed APPEND .. I hope? At least works much better than before
- pop3_uidl_format = %m now doesn't return broken 0 MD5 sums when the MD5 sum wasn't written in indexes for some reason (eg. appended/copied to INBOX with IMAP and trying to access mail with POP3).
- Authentication cache wasn't working when Dovecot was used for proxying
- Index cache file wasn't keeping track of how much of the file was deleted, so it may not have ever shrinked
- Maildir+NFS: Fixed skipping mails when moving files from new/ to cur/
- Maildir: We didn't notice if messages were directly deleted from new/

Damn it, I only install 73 this morning :) I wish I had the time to be lazy, I'm certainly tired.

Keep stable as is and maybe do: 1.0-beta? 1.0-RC?
It seems there are only minor things wrong now that are getting fixed pretty quick, I think you are well on the way to having a beta release by now.

Software that has entered the "Beta" state is usually considered to be "feature complete". Features may change with experience in Beta code, but significant feature enhancements or new features are not allowed. Dovecot is still missing a few major features as I understand the roadmap.
I think "stable2 is fine, since stable is presently used. I personally would have used the term "alpha" instead of "stable", but a precedent has been set. I would suggest not changing it now. In keeping with the "Law of Least Astonishment", the naming convention of releases can be regularized after the formal release of dovecot-1.0.
No changes in software that has reached the RC "release candidate" phase are allowed except to directly fix bugs. Software that lacks sufficient maturity to hold to this rule must not be designated "rc".
Failure to exercise this discipline (or something similar to it) results in frustrated/angry users and embarrassed developers.
