The Dovecot configuration file format has changed between 0.99.x
and 1.0.  If you are upgrading from 0.99.x, be sure to read
http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot to avoid any issues.

===========================================================================
- Update mail/dovecot to 1.0beta2. The 1.0 betas are very stable, and recommended by the Dovecot author (the 0.99.x series are deprecated). Major changes: v1.0.beta2 2006-01-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> + Added SQLite support. Patch by Jakob Hirsch. + Added auth_debug_passwords setting. If it's not enabled, hide all password strings from logs. + Added mail_cache_min_mail_count and mbox_min_index_size settings which can be used to make Dovecot do less disk writes in small mailboxes where they don't benefit that much. + Added --build-ssl-parameters parameter to dovecot binary - SSL parameters were being regenerated every 10 minutes, although not with all systems. - Fixed dovecot-auth crashing at startup. Happened only with some specific compilers. - base_dir was supposed to be set world-readable, not world-writable v1.0.beta1 2006-01-16 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> * Almost a complete rewrite since 0.99.x, but some of the major changes are: + Index file code rewritten to do less disk I/O, wait locks less and in generate be smarter. They also support being in clustered filesystems and NFS support is mostly working also. + Mail caching is smarter. Only the data that client requests is cached. Before Dovecot opened and cached all mails when mailbox was opened the first time, which was slow. + Mbox handling code rewritten to be much faster, safer and correct + New authentication mechanisms: APOP, GSSAPI, LOGIN, NTLM and RPA. + LDAP supports authentication binds + Authentication server can cache password database lookups + Support for multiple authentication databases + Namespace configuration + Dovecot works with shared - Add an option for sqlite support. - Take over maintainership. All suggested (and ok'ed) by xtraeme. 2006-02-06 16:54:37 +01:00			`===========================================================================`
