dovecot - Feb 2006 - 1.0beta3 released

Since there have been so many requests, I guess it's time for beta3 now.
There are a couple of issues that I'm still concerned about, but those
probably happen with beta2 as well.

If you're beginning to see more connection hangs/timeouts with this
release, please tell me.

	* Dotlock code changed to timeout faster in some situations when
	  the lock file is old.
	+ Added support for loading SQL drivers dynamically (see INSTALL file
	  for how to build them)
	+ Keywords are stored to dboxes, and other dbox improvements.
	+ dict-sql could actually work now, making quota-in-sql-database
	  possibly working now (not fully tested)
	+ Added mail storage conversion plugin to convert automatically from
	  one mailbox format to another while user logs in. Doesn't preserve
	  UIDVALIDITY/UIDs though.
	+ Added plugin { .. } section to dovecot.conf for passing parameters
	  to plugins (see dovecot-example.conf).
	+ Added ssl-build-param binary which is used to generate
	  ssl-parameters.dat. Main dovecot binary doesn't anymore link to
	  SSL libraries, and this also makes the process title be clearer
	  about why the process is eating all the CPU.
	- Fix building without OpenSSL
	- Fixed memory leak in MySQL driver
	- Fixes to checkpassword
	- Broken Content-Length header could have broken mbox opening
	- Fixed potential hangs after APPEND command
	- Fixed potential crashes in dovecot-auth and imap/pop3-login
	- zlib plugin now links with -lz so it could actually work
	- kqueue fixes by Vaclav Haisman

Thanks Timo, you da man!

The problem seems to be in src/lib-sql/Makefile[.in]

When there are no sql drivers to build, the shell-script for making
sql-drivers-register.c fails.

I've managed to get it to build by just having

#include "lib.h"
#include "sql-api.h"
void sql_drivers_register_all(void) {
}

as sql-drivers-register.c

Best Wishes,
Chris

P.S. I meant to send the message below to the whole list rather than
just Timo. Sorry!

I can confirm that this works perfectly with vpopmail authentication  
(and with ubuntu breezy on amd64).

Thank you very much.

I finally got around to update the SUSE 10.0 RPMs. The LDAP and SQL
backends are split out to reduce dependencies on SQL backends that
aren't used; vpopmail isn't built for SUSE.

These two issue have been assigned the CVE id CVE-2006-0730.  I've not
taken a look through CVS yet, but I was wondering if someone can point me
at some commits as the various distributions will be interested in
backporting these fixes to any affected versions of dovecot shipped.

Thanks.
