dovecot - Apr 2005 - Dovecot Stable (or: When is 1.0 coming to a server near you?)

I'm mainly just curious, but what version of dovecot is considered to be 
stable enough to be running in a production environment?

We're running the 0.99.13 version shipped with FC3 and, while 
experiencing great performance gains over UW-IMAP, we have hit a couple 
of snags here and there (random and infrequent characters at the 
beginning of a mailbox, periodic duplication of a message here and 
there, etc).  I figure we should upgrade to something a bit more 
current, but I am not sure what the "recommended" verion would be..

Also, perhaps more important, what's the roadmap to getting 1.0 
finalized?  What's the timeframe?  :-)

Most people (including me) consider the 1.0 stable branch good enough for a 
production environment.  I for one use it for around 6000 users.

As for a final release date it will be a 'when its ready' kinda thing. 
Better
it be released stable than on-time.  Looking at the TODO list I would say 
later this year is likely (possibly Q4), depending on Timo's commitments.

Andrew
