* Updated buildlink.mk as the new version has some new #defines in the .h
file (and e.g. pine won't build against the old version)
Updated: 2 November 2001
imap-2001a is a maintenance release, consisting primarily of bugfixes
including some critical bugfixes to crash and denial of service problems.
Programs written for imap-2001 will build with this version without
modification.
The following new facilities have also been added:
The new /norsh switch in mailbox names provides a more intuitive way of
disabling rsh-IMAP than the existing :143 or setting the rsh-timeout to 0.
Passwords are no longer returned in mm_dlog() callbacks unless the
application sets the SET_DEBUGSENSITIVE parameter.
The SET_NETFSSTATBUG parameter allows an application to force the
traditional UNIX mailbox driver to close and reopen the mailbox at ping
time. This is EXTREMELY inefficient, and should only be used to access
files stored on AFS and old NFS systems.
The ISO 8859 and Windows conversion tables have been updated to comply
with Unicode 3.1, and the KOI8-R table has been verified as compliant with
Unicode 3.1.
The SPECIALS mechanism for passing parameters to the lowest level Makefile
has been updated to be more general. See the next item for why you might
care.
New lrh port to build on Red Hat Linux 7.2, with pre-set definitions for
the places where Red Hat has placed Kerberos and SSL. It's actually just
the lnp port with SPECIALS defined accordingly. You may want to use it as
a model if your system needs such definitions. Note that SPECIALS is
primarily for IMAP toolkit (and Pine) purposes, and that user settings
should use EXTRASPECIALS instead.
* Bugfixes
* SSL is now fully integrated into the IMAP toolkit
* Full client and server TLS support
* The server certificate must be signed by a trusted certificate authority
* RFC 1730 (IMAP4 as opposed to IMAP4rev1) support is turned off by default
in imapd
"2000" leaves dependencies on imap-uw unchanged. Also update to 2000.0.3nb1
as we now build a PIC static lib, libc-client_pic.a, used by php4-imap (I
wish libtool automatically built this library, too...)
2000b. Pkgsrc changes include:
- Reduce the number of patches.
- Install full set of headers for c-client.
- Install library as libc-client.* and make compatibility links
from libc-client.* to libimapuw.*. Other software that use the
c-client library seem to look for libc-client.*; no software looks
for libimapuw.*.
- Install the IMAP RFCs along with the rest of the UW-IMAP
documentation.
- Introduce a new compile-time knob, CCLIENT_MBOX_FMT, that controls
the default format for new mailboxes created by c-client programs.
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
certificates directory is /etc/openssl/certs or ${PREFIX}/certs. Pass the
correct directory to the c-client library build so that SSL authentication
works as expected regardless of which version of NetBSD we use.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
The most notable user-visible change is the ability of the ipopd daemon to
forward requests to the imapd daemon, thus allowing POP2 and POP3 mail
clients to check IMAP mail.
Most notable operational changes from earlier versions:
. New, faster mailbox update logic is now available for the unix driver
on UNIX and Amiga. The old way is still being done for MMDF and the
unixnt driver on NT.
. External file locking is now available via a setgid mail program named
/etc/mlock (this is defined by LOCKPGM in the c-client Makefile). If
c-client is unable to create a <mailbox>.lock file in the directory
by itself, it will try to call mlock to do it. A sample mlock program
is part of the imap-utils. This is primarily for the benefit of those
paranoid souls who have their mail spool directories protected 775
instead of the recommended 1777.
. SASL authentication is supported in the IMAP and POP3 servers, and in
the IMAP, POP3, and SMTP client code. There is no support for NNTP
SASL yet
. CRAM-MD5 is supported by default for IMAP and POP3 clients. To enable
server support, read file imap-4.7/docs/md5.txt
. The mbox driver is now enabled by default. If the file "mbox" exists on
the user's home directory and is in UNIX mailbox format, then when INBOX
is opened this file will be selected as INBOX instead of the mail spool
file. Messages will be automatically transferred from the mail spool file
into the mbox file
To disable this behavior, delete "mbox" from the EXTRADRIVERS list in the
top-level Makefile and rebuild
. IMAP4rev1 protocol is now supported. The UNIX format support now maintains
unique identifiers (UIDs) and keyword flags for each message, and keeps an
invisible message at the start of the file which contains the UID base
information and a list of assigned keywords. There is no way to disable
this behavior, since it would disable IMAP4rev1 support. This message may
show up if you access the mailbox as a file using older mail software (e.g.
Pine 3.9x). It is invisible with IMAP or POP access, or with access as a
file using Pine 4.0x.
. Support for additional mailbox formats
. No longer keeps entire mailbox in memory for UNIX format files
. Multilingual searching of the following charsets are supported:
US-ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4,
ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9,
ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-14, ISO-8859-15,
KOI8-R, KOI8-U (alias KOI8-RU), TIS-620, VISCII,
ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-KR, ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-JP-1, ISO-2022-JP-2,
GB2312 (alias CN-GB), CN-GB-12345, BIG5 (alias CN-BIG5),
EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Shift_JIS
All ISO-2022-?? charsets are treated identically, and support ASCII,
JIS Roman, hankaku katakana, ISO-8859-[1 - 10], TIS, GB 2312, JIS X 0208,
JIS X 0212, KSC 5601, and planes 1 and 2 of CNS 11643.
EUC-JP includes support for JIS X 0212 and hankaku katakana
. Fast sorting including IMAP server-based sort
. Fast ordered-subject threading including IMAP server-based threading
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
