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."
Thanks,
Shawn
