The main thing that this new release adds is full support for the spamtest,
spamtestplus and virustest extensions. These extensions implement a uniform
means of testing the content spam/virus status headers in mail messages:
http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/rfc5235/
Not many people have tested these new features yet and therefore these are
currently considered experimental. Test these thoroughly before you start using
them! Documentation is available in share/doc/dovecot/spamtest-virustest.txt
Changelog Sieve v0.1.16:
* Finished implementation of spamtest, spamtestplus and virustest
extensions. These are not enabled by default and need to be
activated with the sieve_extensions setting. Documentation available
in doc/spamtest-virustest.txt
+ Vacation extension: the from address of the generated reply is now
by default equal to whatever known recipient alias matched the
headers of the message. If it is one of the aliases specified with
:addresses, it is used in stead of the envelope recipient address
that was used before.
+ Restructured and optimized the lexical scanner.
+ Added --with-docs configure option to allow disabling installation
of documentation.
- Accidentally omitted 'extern' in two declarations of global
variables in header files, causing compile failures on certain
systems.
- Deprecated imapflags extension: fixed implicit assignment of flags.
Turns out this never really worked, but the effect of this bug was
obscured by the removeflag bug fixed in the previous release.
- Fixed various memset argument mixups in enotify extension. This
caused warnings on certain systems, but luckily no adverse effects
at runtime.
Changelog for Dovecot 1.2.10:
+ %variables now support %{host}, %{pid} and %{env:ENVIRONMENT_NAME}
everywhere.
+ LIST-STATUS capability is now advertised
- maildir: Fixed several assert-crashes.
- imap: LIST "" inbox shouldn't crash when using namespace with
"INBOX." prefix.
- lazy_expunge now ignores non-private namespaces.
Changelog for Sieve 0.1.15:
* Enotify extension:
- Adjusted notify method API for addition of new notification
methods.
- Set default importance level to 'normal' (was 'high').
* Include extension: updated implementation towards most recent
specification (all should be backwards compatible):
- Implemented global variables namespace.
- Global command may now appear anywhere in a script.
- Implemented script name checking using the requirements specified
in the ManageSieve draft.
- One issue remains: ManageSieve currently requires included scripts
to be uploaded first, which is not according to specification.
* Changed envelope path parser to allow to and from envelope addresses
that have no domain part.
+ Added preliminary support for Sieve plugins and added support for
installing Sieve development headers.
+ Started work on the implementation of the spamtest, spamtestplus and
virustest extensions (unfinished).
+ Deprecated notify extension: implemented denotify command.
+ Variables extension: added support for variable namespaces.
+ Added configurable script size limit. Compiler will refuse to
compile files larger than sieve_max_script_size.
+ Testsuite changes:
- Added support for changing and testing an extension's
configuration.
- Added a command line parameter for copying errors to stderr.
- Fixed a bug in the i;ascii-numeric comparator. If one of the
strings started with a non-digit character, the comparator would
always yield less-than.
- Imap4flags extension: fixed bug in removeflag: removing a single
flag failed due to off-by-one error (bug report by Julian Cowley).
- Improved EACCES error messages for stat() and lstat() syscalls and
slightly improved error messages that may uccur when saving a
binary.
- Vacation extension: fixed typo in runtime log message (patch by
Julian Cowley).
- Fixed use of minus '-' in man pages; it is now properly escaped.
- Fixed parser recovery. In particular cases it would trigger spurious
errors after an initial valid error and sometimes additional errors
were inappropriately ignored.
Changelog for ManageSieve 0.11.11:
* This release contains adjustments to match changes in the Sieve API.
This means that this release will only compile against Pigeonhole
Sieve v0.1.15.
+ Implemented ManageSieve QUOTA enforcement.
+ Added MAXREDIRECTS capability after login.
+ Implemented new script name rules specified in most recent
ManageSieve draft.
- Fixed assertion failure occuring with challenge-response SASL
mechanisms.
- Made configure complain about trying to compile against installed
Dovecot headers alone.
- Fixed compile warning for compilation against CMUSieve.
Fuß <ef@math.uni-bonn.de>.
The package now contains Stephan Bosch' new Dovecot Sieve plugin as a pkgsrc
option (instead of the old CMU Sieve plugin that was a separate package), as
well as the ManageSieve extension. The dovecot-sieve package will be removed.
Upgrading from Dovecot 1.1.x may require changes to your configuration file,
see this webpage for more information: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.2
Major changes since Dovecot 1.1:
* When creating files or directories to mailboxes, Dovecot now uses
the mailbox directory's permissions and GID for them. Previous
versions simply used 0600 mode always. For backwards compatibility
dovecot-shared file's permissions still override these with Maildir.
* SQL dictionary (quota) configuration file is different than in v1.1.
See doc/dovecot-dict-sql-example.conf for the new format.
* deliver -m: Mailbox name is now assumed to be in UTF-8 format,
not modified-UTF7. Stephan Bosch's new Sieve implementation also
assumes UTF-8 format in fileinto parameters.
+ Full support for shared mailboxes and IMAP ACL extension.
The code is mainly from Sascha Wilde and Bernhard Herzog.
+ IMAP: Added support for extensions: CONDSTORE, QRESYNC, ESEARCH,
ESORT, SEARCHRES, WITHIN, ID and CONTEXT=SEARCH.
+ SEARCH supports INTHREAD search key, but the rest of the INTHREAD
draft isn't implemented yet so it's not advertised in capability.
+ THREAD REFS algorithm where threads are sorted by their latest
message instead of the thread root message. There is also no base
subject merging.
+ IMAP: Implemented imap-response-codes draft.
+ Thread indexes for optimizing IMAP THREAD command and INTHREAD
search key.
+ Added userdb checkpassword (by Sascha Wilde)
+ Virtual mailboxes: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual
+ Autocreate plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Autocreate
+ Listescape plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape
