dovecot - Sep 2005 - 1.0 alpha3 released

I'm a bit too busy nowadays because of school so I haven't had time to
look at everyone's bug reports and some other mails. They're still
marked as unread in my mailbox, so hopefully I'll get to them soon. And
I don't mind you resend them if I don't answer in a few weeks :)

Changes:

 - Fixed maildir syncing errors about wrong UIDs
 - Maildir was re-read all the time, even if we knew nothing had changed
there
 - SSL/TLS connections used to have extra ~0.2s latencies because kernel
was waiting for more data before sending it (at least with Linux). Fixed
it by corking/uncorking before/after sending. I don't think the socket
latencies are this bad normally though, I should probably look more into
it if we're setting some socket flags badly (or does it happen
specifically because we were using corking for the socket before SSL and
kernel increased the timeouts because it thinks we're going to be using
corking?).
 - Marking index file corrupted caused its recreation to still use old
transaction log file, which usually caused the index to get corrupted
again
 - Added --build-options parameter to dovecot binary (by Andrey Panin)
 - Parse obs-phrase correctly in mail address parser (by Chris Wakelin)

I'll check out Alpha 3 but for some reason Alpha 2 seems slower than 
Alpha 1 - especially when deleting messages. Using mbox format on 64 bit 
Linux.

I reported this on 20.8., so it probably qualifies :)

not really related to alpha3, but dovecot-lda still seems to recompile
(or at least touch) .dovecot.sievec on every delivery.

I'm shocked you're not leveraging the power of IMAP! ;)

Just make a TODO folder and copy them there. Retire them to another folder 
when done.

Added to Gentoo Portage (although it's hardmasked in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask due to weird problems with alpha2):
