Five updates in something like 63 days is certainly not encouraging. I
am sure that Timo is doing the best he can; however, unless you had
some over whelming need to update, and I would really like to know what
this is, I would recommend waiting. By the way, I am also using
FreeBSD-8.1/amd64. Until Dovecot can go a few months without a patch
being issued, I think I'll wait. I certainly don't need any clients
waking me up at 3 o'clock in the morning.
