Based on PR pkg/22028 by MAINTAINER, Tom Hensel.
Changes:
- Default PAM service name changed to "dovecot". This means that
if you're using PAM, you most likely have to do
mv /etc/pam.d/imap /etc/pam.d/dovecot
If you wish to keep using imap, see doc/auth.txt.
- ~/rawlog directory changed to ~/dovecot.rawlog
- Faster and better maildir synchronization. We support read-only
maildirs and out-of-quota conditions are handled a lot better.
dovecot-uidlist file still isn't out-of-quota-safe though, but you
can keep it in another location where quota isn't checked. For
example:
default_mail_env = Maildir:~/Maildir:
INDEX=/noquota/%u:CONTROL=/noquota/%u
- Read-only mboxes are supported now.
- Only NOOP and CHECK now always do a mailbox sync checking. Other
commands sync max. once in 5 seconds, plus always from indexes.
This should reduce I/O a bit.
- All NUL characters are translated to ascii #128 before sending to
client. RFC prohibits sending NULs and this is how UW-IMAP handles
it as well.
- Make ENVELOPE, BODY and BODYSTRUCTURE replies more compact by
removing multiple LWSPs and translating TABs to spaces. RFC doesn't
specifically require this, but this seems to be the wanted
behaviour..
- Added ANONYMOUS SASL mechanism.
- More flexible user chrooting configuration in home directories:
"<chroot>/./<homedir>"
- Added support for dynamically loadable IMAP/POP3 modules. See
INSTALL file for more information.
- Partial fetches were broken if mails had CR+LF linefeeds
- SEARCH DELETED didn't return anything if all messages were deleted
- OpenSSL support was broken in many installations because we were
chrooted and it couldn't open /dev/urandom.
- PAM: Giving wrong password blocked the whole process for two
seconds. Now we create a new process for each check.
- Lots of other smaller bugfixes and better error handling
From MAINTAINER, Tom Hensel.
Changes:
- Dovecot may now be compiled with Cyrus-SASL2, specify
USE_SASL2=YES for this to happen.
- use generic USE_OPENLDAP instead of DOVECOT_USE_LDAP
- minor cleanups
0.99.10rc2:
===========
- Minor bugs corrected, one possible crash when using hardlinks
for copying fixed.
- Minor fix for the 'linebreak-problem' - should be history now
even on non-i386.
- PostgreSQL server will be reconnected on failure.
This will be a stable 0.99.10 release if no new bugs popup.

Changes:
- new MAINTAINER, Tom Hensel
0.99.10-test14:
===============
- IMAP over SSL works now without having to install (patched) OpenSSL from
pkgsrc or patching dovecot itself. For instance, OpenSSL gets initalized
before chrooting so it can open /dev/urandom, even some possible crashes
have been fixed.
- Many changes to the Maildir synchronization and expiration code, diffrent
bugs and flaws are fixed. Improved indexing and hashing of Maildirs and
mboxes.
- Changes to improve overall perfomance have been incorparated.
- The authorization daemon now supports the ANONYMOUS SASL mechanism,
a few bugs were fixed.
- Many flaws and glitches are gone, please see dovecot's ChangeLog for
a complete list of changes.
Dovecot is a secure and compact IMAP/POP3 server which is in the early stages
of developement. It supports Maildirs and mbox formats and much of the IMAP
v4 protocol including SSL/TLS. IPv6 support is also included.
