v0.99.5 2003-01-02 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi>
* This release includes a lot of code cleanups, especially related to
security. Direct buffer modifying was replaced in several places
with a new buffer API, which provides a safe way to do it. Code that
looks unsafe contains @UNSAFE tag to make auditing easier.
+ Support for SORT extension. Originally I thought about not
implementing any extensions before 1.0, but too many people want
webmails which want SORT. THREAD is another extension which they
want, but we don't support it yet.
+ imap_listen and imaps_listen settings now accept "*" and
"::" to
specify if we want to listen in IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. "::" may
also listen in all IPv4 addresses depending on the OS (Linux does,
BSD doesn't)
+ New setting: default_mail_env can be used to specify where to find
users mailbox. Default is still to use autodetection.
+ New setting: imap_log_path to log logins etc. informational messages
to different file.
+ We support now separate mbox file for INBOX folder, no need for
symlink kludging anymore.
+ Support for keeping index files in different location than actual
mailboxes.
? Disabled mailbox_check_interval setting by default, it breaks
Evolution.
- SEARCH was still somewhat buggy, especially with laggy networks.
Also body/header searches might have crashed or at least used
memory too much
- Deleting messages in the middle of mbox caused dovecot to reindex
the following messages as new messages (ie. change UIDs and set
\Recent flag).
- Digest-MD5 auth: Initial server challenge packet was missing a comma,
which might have made it incompatible with some implementations.
- Some more fixes to unnecessarily high memory usage
- SELECT and EXAMINE often printed UNSEEN reply or maybe complained
about corrupted indexes. Happened usually only with mbox.
- FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE gave incorrect reply, breaking pine
- LIST was pretty buggy with mbox subfolders
- CHECK command returned just "missing parameters" error
- DELETE didn't work with mbox folders
- CREATE mailbox<hierarchy separator> failed always.
- CREATE and RENAME didn't create required hierarchies with mbox
- RFC822 date parser didn't handle single digit days correctly.
- login_process_per_connection = yes didn't work with imaps port
connections which is exactly where it was mostly wanted.
- ssl_disabled = yes didn't disable listening in imaps port
- process limiting code didn't compile everywhere (eg. FreeBSD).
- Linux sendfile() was never detected
- We didn't work at all with gcc/PowerPC
