Released Pigeonhole v0.4.10 for Dovecot v2.2.21

Hello Dovecot users, I got a bit stalled by our recent switch to Git, but here is the final v0.4.10 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.21. Nothing of consequence changed since the last RC. Changelog v0.4.10: + Implemented the Sieve mime and foreverypart extensions (RFC 5703). These are fully implemented. The interaction with the editheader extension needs some work, but this should not influence most uses; i.e., changes by the editheader extension are not always visible using foreverypart/mime. + Sieve body extension: Properly implemented the `:text' body transform. It now extracts text for HTML message parts. + Sieve enotify extension: mailto method: Implemented the sieve_notify_mailto_envelope_from setting. This allows configuring the source of the notification sender address for e-mail notifications. This is similar to what already can be configured for redirect. + Added a sieve_enabled (defaults to 'yes') setting that allows explicitly disabling Sieve processing for particular users. This used to be possible by setting `sieve=', but ever since the sieve_before, sieve_after and sieve_default settings were added, this method was not reliable anymore. - variables extension: Fixed handling of empty string by the `:length' set modifier. An empty string yielded an empty string rather than "0". - Fixed memory leak in the Sieve script byte code dumping facility. Extension contexts were never actually freed. - Fixed handling of implicit keep when the last Sieve script is a global one. In that case the implicit keep action was executed in global context, which could mean that trivial (quota) errors ended up in the system log file, rather than the user log file. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crashes caused by incorrect context allocation in the sieve command implementations. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.10.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.10.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

v2.2.21 released
by Timo Sirainen 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.21.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.21.tar.gz.sig Due to a bit bad doveadm bugs in v2.2.20 here's a fixed v2.2.21. Also from this release forward we're finally using git with branches to make new releases. So new releases will have a bit more time to stabilize in the branch before they're being released (while still allowing new features to be developed in the master development branch). We already did something like this for the enterprise releases, but now it's done for community releases as well. - doveadm mailbox list (and some others) were broken in v2.2.20 - director: Fixed making backend changes when running with only a single director server. - virtual plugin: Fixed crash when trying to open nonexistent autocreated backend mailbox.

Dovecot code repository moved to Github
by Timo Sirainen 09 Dec '15

http://hg.dovecot.org/ is no longer being updated. The public repository exists now in https://github.com/dovecot/core instead. I'm not sure yet if we should continue pushing commit emails to dovecot-cvs list or if Github's internal notifications are enough. In any case dovecot-cvs list isn't working right now.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.10.rc2 for Dovecot v2.2.20
by Stephan Bosch 08 Dec '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole RC that goes with Dovecot v2.2.20. Due to the earlier described conflict, RC1 will not compile with the new Dovecot release. I am not really in hurry to make a definitive release of Pigeonhole, since v0.4.9 still compiles fine with Dovecot v2.2.20. Still, if no big bugs emerge in the next few days, I will make a final release. So, please test this new RC and especially the new features. Changelog v0.4.10: + Implemented the Sieve mime and foreverypart extensions (RFC 5703). These are fully implemented. The interaction with the editheader extension needs some work, but this should not influence most uses; i.e., changes by the editheader extension are not always visible using foreverypart/mime. + Sieve body extension: Properly implemented the `:text' body transform.

This is similar to what already can be configured for redirect. + Added a sieve_enabled (defaults to 'yes') setting that allows explicitly disabling Sieve processing for particular users.

v2.2.20 released
by Timo Sirainen 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.20.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.20.tar.gz.sig This could be (one of) the last v2.2.x release. We're starting v2.3 development soon. + Added mailbox { autoexpunge=<time> } setting. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings for details. + ssl_options: Added support for no_ticket + imap/pop3/managesieve-login: Added postlogin_socket=path passdb extra field. This allows replacing the default service imap/pop3/managesieve {} settings for specific users (e.g. running their imap process via valgrind or strace). + doveadm fetch: Added date.sent/received/saved.unixtime + fs-posix: Added mode=auto parameter to set the created files' and directories' mode based on the parent dir if it has setgid-bit. + director: Support backends having hostnames, which makes it possible to verify their SSL certificates. - director: Directors' state became desynchronized if doveadm director commands were used to modify the same backend in multiple directors at the same time with conflicting changes. This fix includes some extra checks, which makes sure that if such a conflict still happens it's automatically fixed. In some situations such an automatic fix may now be unnecessarily triggered and an error logged. - director: Backend tags weren't working correctly. - ldap: tls_* settings weren't used for ldaps URIs. - ldap, mysql: Fixed setting connect timeout. - auth: userdb lookups via auth-worker couldn't change username - dsync: Fixed handling deleted directories. Make sure we don't go to infinite mailbox renaming loop. - imap: Fixed crash in NOTIFY when there were watched namespaces that didn't support NOTIFY. - imap: After SETMETADATA was used, various commands (especially FETCH) could have started hanging when their output was large. - stats: Idle sessions weren't refreshed often enough, causing stats process to forget them and log errors about unknown sessions when they were updated later. - stats: Fixed "Duplicate session ID" errors when LMTP delivered to multiple recipients and fts_autoindex=yes. - zlib plugin: Fixed copying causing cache corruption when zlib_save wasn't set, but the source message was compressed. - fts-solr: Fixed escaping Solr query parameters. - lmtp: quota_full_tempfail=yes was ignored with lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.10.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.20.rc1
by Stephan Bosch 05 Dec '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole RC that goes with the Dovecot RC. There is a conflict with the t_str_trim() function. To be able to quickly release Dovecot, Timo has reverted the involved change so that 0.4.9 will still compile with the final Dovecot v2.2.20 release. This Pigeonhole RC will therefore not compile against the final Dovecot release (only against v2.2.20.rc1), which I will mend quickly once Dovecot v2.2.20 is released. Changelog v0.4.10.rc1: + Implemented the Sieve mime and foreverypart extensions (RFC 5703). These are fully implemented. The interaction with the editheader extension needs some work, but this should not influence most uses; i.e., changes by the editheader extension are not always visible using foreverypart/mime. + Sieve body extension: Properly implemented the `:text' body transform.
