I'm wondering whether there is a ballpark release date for Dovecot 2.4. I know an exact release date is probably not available, but can it at least be narrowed to a specific quarter? Is it likely in 2023?

I have seen on previous messages that an Ubuntu repository for 22.04 (jammy) will appear with the 2.4 release.

My mail server in AWS is running Ubuntu 20.04 (focal), which I have avoided upgrading for various reasons, including websites that don't work with PHP 8.1.

Now the last remaining hurdle is the fact that there is no dovecot repository for jammy. I would prefer the official Dovecot repo over dovecot packages included with Ubuntu, because it's likely to be a newer release, and built from vanilla project code. At the moment jammy includes dovecot 2.3.16, which is even older than the 2.3.20 that I am running on focal from the official dovecot repo.

Again, I know that a precise release date won't be possible. I'm just hoping for something like "soon" or "in about six months."

Is the release so far off that nobody wants to even make a guess? It has been three months since I wrote the message I am replying to.

I don't see any indication in the github repo of a branch for stabilization work on the new version.

2.4 is planned for sometime after summer this year.

Hello, what about ballpark release date?

Considering that it's now almost a year later, this seems to have slipped.

Thanks, Shawn

Hi!

We are working on a large configuration change for Dovecot, so this has been main factor on delaying 2.4 (quite a lot, as you've noticed). It's getting closer, but there are still some large changes to be made, and once those complete, we are in better position to give a release date estimate. I am hoping it would be after this summer, but lets see if I'm writing this same mail again next year this time. Hopefully not.
