http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.1.tar.gz.sig Mainly fixes to some issues found by people when upgrading to v1.2.0. * GSSAPI: Changed logging levels and improved the messages. Changed the way cross-realm authentication handling is done, hopefully it's working now for everyone. * imap/pop3 logins now fail if home directory path is relative. v1.2.0 deliver was already failing with these and they could have caused problems even with v1.1. * IMAP: Custom authentication failure messages are now prefixed with [ALERT] to get more clients to actually show them. + Improved some error messages. - pop3: AUTH PLAIN was broken when SASL initial response wasn't given. - mbox: New mailboxes were created with UIDVALIDITY 1. - quota-fs was defaulting to group quota instead of user quota. - Fixed ACLs to work with mbox. - Fixed fchmod(-1, -1) errors with BSDs - convert plugin / convert-tool: Fixed changing hierarchy separators in mailbox names when alt_hierarchy_char isn't set.

Released Sieve v0.1.7 and ManageSieve v0.11.6 for Dovecot v1.2.0
by Stephan Bosch 05 Jul '09

05 Jul '09

Hello Dovecot users, I hereby release new versions of the Sieve packages for the recently released Dovecot v1.2.0 (Congrats Timo!). Apart from small changes to make things compile with Dovecot again, a few other bugs were fixed as well. Unfortunately, the (FreeBSD-specific) 8kb script truncation bug remains. Although it is reported for Dovecot v1.1.16, I see no reason why it should not surface in v1.2.0 as well. Any help is appreciated. Changelog Sieve v0.1.7: + Improved consistency of sieve tool documentation and fixed missing parameters in internal tool help output. + Enhanced extensions configuration, allowing to specify the enabled extensions relatively to the default (patch by Steffen Kaiser). - Forgot to initialize script execution status in Sieve plugin, causing segfaults on compile errors in specific conditions. - Fixed logging in Sieve plugin for execution of default main script (went to STDERR). Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.6: * Adjusted to changes in Dovecot regarding client idle timeout vs authentication timeout. This release now depends on Dovecot v1.2.rc6 or newer. - Fixed CRLF line breaks in compile errors (bug reported by Pascal Volk). - Corrected directory/file creation behavior with respect to mode bits and gid (bug reported by Pascal Volk). - Improved handling of script truncation bugs: connection is now closed and and error is logged (bug itself not fixed yet). - Prevented temp script name from showing up in error output. -- The releases are available as follows: Sieve: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.7.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.7.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve (package + patch): http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.6.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.6.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.0-managesieve-0.11.6.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.0-managesieve-0.11.6.diff.g… -- Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

v1.2.0 released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.0.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.0.tar.gz.sig As promised. No changes since v1.2.rc8 (except packaged in OS X, since CentOS 5 autotools didn't add support for configure --docdir). Below are the largest changes since v1.1: * When creating files or directories to mailboxes, Dovecot now uses the mailbox directory's permissions and GID for them. Previous versions simply used 0600 mode always. For backwards compatibility dovecot-shared file's permissions still override these with Maildir. * SQL dictionary (quota) configuration file is different than in v1.1. See doc/dovecot-dict-sql-example.conf for the new format. * deliver -m: Mailbox name is now assumed to be in UTF-8 format, not modified-UTF7. Stephan Bosch's new Sieve implementation also assumes UTF-8 format in fileinto parameters. + Full support for shared mailboxes and IMAP ACL extension. The code is mainly from Sascha Wilde and Bernhard Herzog. + IMAP: Added support for extensions: CONDSTORE, QRESYNC, ESEARCH, ESORT, SEARCHRES, WITHIN, ID and CONTEXT=SEARCH. + SEARCH supports INTHREAD search key, but the rest of the INTHREAD draft isn't implemented yet so it's not advertised in capability. + THREAD REFS algorithm where threads are sorted by their latest message instead of the thread root message. There is also no base subject merging. + IMAP: Implemented imap-response-codes draft. + Thread indexes for optimizing IMAP THREAD command and INTHREAD search key. + Added userdb checkpassword (by Sascha Wilde) + Virtual mailboxes: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual + Autocreate plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Autocreate + Listescape plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape

v1.2.rc6 released
by Timo Sirainen 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc6.tar.gz.sig I think it's time to get v1.2.0 released soon. There is apparently still one rare crashing bug in virtual plugin, but unless someone can reproduce the bug I'm not going to delay v1.2.0 because of it. The release plan is: - Release v1.2.rc7 next Friday (assuming there have been some fixes) - Release v1.2.0 the next Monday I'll be giving a Dovecot talk in Berlin on July 2nd, and I really want to have v1.2.0 released by them. So July 1st is the absolute final deadline for v1.2.0. :) Changes since rc5: * imap proxy: Pass through to client unexpected untagged replies from remote server (e.g. alerts). * Solr: Don't use "any" copyfield, it doubles the index size. * mail_location: Allow using ":" characters in dir names by escaping it as "::". - mbox: Don't crash with invalid From_-lines. - IMAP: Don't crash if IDLE command is pipelined after a long-running UID FETCH or UID SEARCH. - ACL / shared mailbox fixes - Some metadata files were incorrectly getting 0666 permissions.

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc5.tar.gz.sig Some small fixes mainly. I guess I'll still have to release rc6 and rc7 after all. I've been a bit busy with v2.0 changes recently. BTW. I'm leaving tomorrow to San Francisco and I'm going to check out what's happening in Apple WWDC next week. * auth_cache_negative_ttl is now used also for password mismatches (currently only with plaintext authentication mechanisms). + Added support for EXTERNAL SASL mechanism. + FETCH X-SAVEDATE can now be used to get messages' save timestamps + deliver_log_format: %s is now in UTF8 - If message body started with a space, some operations could have assert-crashed. - Fixed using LDAP support as a plugin - Fixes to virtual mailboxes.

v1.1.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.16.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.16.tar.gz.sig 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.
