|---|---|
| 652 | 1 v0.99.0 2002-11-24 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> |
| 2 | |
| 3 + Replaced hash file with binary tree file which makes Dovecot stay | |
| 4 fast with large mailboxes after expunging multiple mails. | |
| 5 + Several speed improvements with SEARCH | |
| 6 + SEARCH CHARSET support using iconv(), although case-insensitive | |
| 7 searching is currently supported only for ASCII characters. | |
| 8 + OpenSSL support. | |
| 9 + Support for regenerating Diffie Hellman and RSA parameters with | |
| 10 specified intervals. NOTE: currently doesn't work with OpenSSL. | |
| 11 + Support for each login connection being handled in it's own process. | |
| 12 This is the default as it's more safe especially with SSL. | |
| 13 + mbox locking is now safe, other processes can't modify the mbox file | |
| 14 while we're reading it. | |
| 15 + Notify clients with "EXISTS" almost immediately after new mail is | |
| 16 received. | |
| 17 + Rawlog: Support for saving user connections into files - useful for | |
| 18 debugging. | |
| 19 + Content-Language is finally parsed correctly | |
| 20 + Lots of smaller speed optimizations | |
| 21 - Partial BODY[] fetches weren't working properly | |
| 22 - BODY[section] was buggy with message/rfc822 MIME parts | |
| 23 - STARTTLS wasn't working | |
| 24 - \* flag was missing from PERMANENTFLAGS. | |
| 25 - Comments inside <> mail addresses crashed. | |
| 26 - imap-login printed UTC timestamps to logfiles | |
| 27 - passwd-file wasn't reread the the file changed | |
| 28 - PAM authentication was implemented wrong, which caused it to break | |
| 29 with some PAM plugins. | |
| 30 - Lots of smaller fixes, mostly to do with reliability | |
| 31 | |
| 353 | 32 v0.98.4 2002-10-06 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> |
| 33 | |
| 34 * Just a final release before replacing hash file with a binary tree. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 - When fetching messages larger than 256k, sometimes Dovecot missed | |
| 37 to send CR causing corrupted data at end of message and possibly | |
| 38 complete failure depending on IMAP client. | |
| 39 - Fetching BODY or BODYSTRUCTURE for message having content-type of | |
| 40 message/rfc822 didn't correctly add () around the envelope data. | |
| 41 - Several fixes to make it compile with HP/UX ANSI C compiler. | |
| 42 Also fixed several warnings it showed up. | |
| 43 | |
| 340 | 44 v0.98.3 2002-10-01 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> |
| 45 | |
| 46 * Sorry, just noticed a very stupid bug which caused evolution 1.2 | |
| 47 beta to crash. I always thought it was just evolution's fault :) | |
| 48 - Several fields in BODY / BODYSTRUCTURE replies weren't quoted | |
| 49 | |
| 337 | 50 v0.98.2 2002-09-30 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> |
| 51 | |
| 52 + --with-file-offset-size=32 can now be used to select 32bit file | |
| 53 offsets. Using them should be a bit faster and take a bit less | |
| 54 disk and memory (also needed to compile Dovecot successfully with | |
| 55 TinyCC). | |
| 56 + maildir_copy_with_hardlinks option works now | |
| 57 + Check new mail and notify about it to client also after | |
| 58 commands which don't allow full syncing (FETCH, STORE, SEARCH). | |
| 59 Also always send RECENT after EXISTS notify. | |
| 60 + If we're out of disk space while opening mailbox, notify about it | |
| 61 with ALERT. | |
| 62 - STORE and SEARCH didn't handle properly message sequence numbers | |
| 63 when some in the middle were externally deleted | |
| 64 - SEARCH: Only first search condition was checked. | |
| 65 - mbox: Message flags given to APPEND were ignored. | |
| 66 - mbox: index was corrupted when changing flags for multipart MIME | |
| 67 messages | |
| 68 - Out of disk space-handling wasn't working properly with .customflags | |
| 69 file | |
| 70 - if auth processes were killed, login processes weren't reconnecting | |
| 71 to them | |
| 72 | |
| 313 | 73 v0.98.1 2002-09-24 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> |
| 74 | |
| 75 + Faster and safer mbox rewriting when flags are updated | |
| 76 - Didn't save messages larger then 8192 bytes | |
| 77 - Several mbox breakages | |
| 78 | |
| 304 | 79 v0.98 2002-09-23 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> |
| 80 | |
| 81 + mbox support is finally working. There's still some reliability | |
| 82 fixes left but overall it should be quite usable. | |
| 83 + vpopmail authentication support | |
| 84 + We should be able to deal with "out of diskspace/quota" conditions | |
| 85 properly, by keeping the indexes in memory and allowing user to | |
| 86 delete mails to get more space. | |
| 87 + Several speed enhancements | |
| 88 + New configuration file option: overwrite_incompatible_index to force | |
| 89 using ".imap.index" file, overwriting it if it isn't compatible | |
| 90 - Handle invalid message headers reliably | |
| 91 - Tons of bugfixes and code cleanups everywhere | |
| 92 | |
| 96 | 93 v0.97 2002-08-29 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> |
| 94 | |
| 95 + Large mails are handled in 256kB blocks, so mail size no longer | |
| 96 has hardly any effect on memory usage | |
| 97 + 64bit file offsets are used if supported by system. This means | |
| 98 Dovecot is fully capable of handling >2G mails in those systems. | |
| 99 With 32bit offsets >2G mails may not behave too well, but should | |
| 100 not crash either. | |
| 101 + I fixed lots of potential integer overflows. This should make us | |
| 102 fully crash-free no matter what happens (index file corruption | |
| 103 mostly). I didn't verify everything too carefully yet, so more | |
| 104 auditing is still needed before we fully reach that goal. | |
| 105 + Implemented several missing tasks / optimizations to index handling. | |
| 106 It should now stay fast after longer usage periods. | |
| 107 + New configuration file options: log_path, log_timestamp, imaps_listen | |
| 108 + "Critical errors" are now hidden from users, ie. any error message | |
| 109 that is not a direct reply to user error is written into log file | |
| 110 and user gets only "Internal error [timestamp]". | |
| 111 + Nonblocking SSL handshaking | |
| 112 + Lots of code cleanups | |
| 113 - Lots of mbox fixes, it seems to be somewhat reliable now | |
| 114 - Year in Date-field was parsed wrong | |
| 115 - Appending mail to mbox didn't work right | |
| 116 - Always verify that mailbox names are valid (especially they shouldn't | |
| 117 contain "../") | |
| 118 | |
