- Postfix 2.0 broke relocated table lookup results with mail not
rejected at the SMTP port, causing "User has moved to" text to be deleted.
- A widely used maildir filename generating algorithm was broken.
This affects all Postfix versions with maildir support. Instead of
TIME.PID_COUNT.HOST Postfix now uses TIME.DEVICE_INODE.HOST.
- Postfix 2.0 gave incorrect FILTER_README instructions for sites
that wish to disable virtual alias mapping before the content filter.
* Changes in 2.10.0 from 2.8.1
** You can alter the format of summary lines.
Specify format by wl-summary-line-format. If you want to change ones
according to folder names, use wl-folder-summary-line-format-alist.
** Save format for the draft folder has been changed. Messages are encoded
before saved by wl-draft-save.
** elmo-split is newly established.
** Buffer prefetch works fine now. Messages of the number specified by
wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth are loaded into buffer in advance.
** elmo-dop-queue-flush flushes queue that concerns plugged folder.
** Starting Wanderlust on the new frame is possible now. Set as
(autoload 'wl-other-frame "wl" "Wanderlust on new frame." t)
** In Folder mode, you can go into virtual folder which consists of messages
with some specified condition (wl-folder-virtual). It is binded to "V".
** In Folder mode, you can search folders containing messages with some
specified condition (wl-folder-pick). It is binded to "?".
** Now you can rename access group folders.
** Temporary marks are kept when you exit from sticky summary by q or g.
** Key bindings concerning the sticky summary have been changed.
By C-u g, the sticky summary is destroyed as well as C-u q. In summary or
folder mode, G opens the sticky summary.
** You can go round summary buffers by C-cC-n and C-cC-p.
** Members of the list wl-folder-hierarchy-access-folders is now some REGEXP
for access group names instead of exact group names.
** In header part of the draft buffer C-a brings cursor to the beginning of
the line or the beginning of the header body.
** You can send encapsulated blind carbon copies. Its default field name is
"Ecc:".
** C-c C-y (Draft) can cite region of the message.
It affects if transient-mark-mode (Emacs) or zmacs-regions (XEmacs) is
Non-nil and the region is active.
** You can delete a part from multipart message.
It is binded as "D" in message buffer.
** You can easily configure server settings to post news article.
Set wl-nntp-posting-config-alist appropriately. See info for an example.
** You can specify some function in wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list etc.
for setting the recipients in draft by the return value of it.
** The interface of the function wl-draft has been changed.
The initial set of headers are handed as an association list.
** The uses of wl-generate-mailer-string-function has been changed.
Specify a function which returns some string to appear in User-Agent header.
** Many bug fixes.
* If a Filter Rule which does not Delete or Move a message is followed
by another Rule which does a Move or Delete, that second rule will be
applied (if there is a match) even if the first rule also matched
* Crash in address book select screen
* Experimental method to reopen a newsgroup or POP folder to check for
new messages with < command followed by > command. See the help text
for "Mail-Check-Interval" for a short explanation.
* Delete, Rename, and Shuffle broken in Incoming Folders
* Role-based SMTP Server should not override administratively fixed
SMTP Server
* Html typed file with garbage contents can cause crash
* Scramble-Message-Id drops first character of hostname
* When alternate-editor is used to compose, assume charset should be
that of user
* Rare crash when new mail arrives with threading enabled
* Threaded index lines displayed incorrectly with IMAP servers that do
not support threading
* View attachment command should not be available if Full Header mode
is turned on
* Duplicate printing of To and Cc lines when using "all-except" in
viewer-hdrs
* Justification of quoted paragraphs is not possible when forwarding a
non-us-ascii message
imap-2002b is a maintenace release, released concurrently with Pine 4.52,
and contains only bugfixes. Programs written for imap-2002 will build with
this version without modification.
Drivers which do not announce new mail are now indicated by the DR_NONEWMAIL
driver flag. Driver which do not announce new mail when read-only are now
indicated by the DR_NONEWMAILRONLY flag.
There are no user-visible functional enhancements in this version.
New in version 4.91:
- Added missing dependency for Storable.
- Storable now only necessary if you plan on using caching
- Fixed a bug in test case 83
- Changed -s to support "<", ">", "<=", ">=" and "-". (Feature suggestion by
Jens Schleusener)
New in version 4.90:
- Made Mail::Folder::SlowReader object-oriented
- Removed FastReader from distribution. (It's no longer faster! Also, I
couldn't integrate it easily with the new object-oriented reader design.)
- Fixed a bug where in some cases emails were not being converted to mbox
format before being printed
- Made searches involving header-related constraints a bit faster
- Added missing documentation for -F flag
- Added -f flag to search based on message status. (Feature suggestion by
Richard D Alloway)
- Fixed a bug where -X and -Y flags after a pattern would not be processed
- Added experimental caching capability, which is perhaps 5% slower the first
time you run grepmail on a mail folder, and 10-20% faster on subsequent
runs. The cache is stored in ~/.grepmail-cache. You must edit the grepmail
file and set $USE_CACHING to true to use this feature. (Idea and initial
patch by terry jones)
New in version 4.81:
- Fixed incompatibilities with older (5.005_03) versions of Perl
- Fixed test cases which fail on operating systems (shells?) which emit
"Broken Pipe" to standard output. I'd rather break the pipe than have
grepmail gobble megabytes of data when it can't handle it.
- Added --version flag (patch by Gerald Pfeifer)
- Added documentation for -V flag.
Main changes are, for full changes see source codes changelog:
* Transition from libjconv to direct use of iconv() API has been made.
* Quoted-Printable encoding for outgoing messages has been enabled.
* Content-Transfer-Encoding for outgoing messages became user definable.
* The abbreviation method of newsgroup name has been improved.
* Russian locales support has been improved.
* Fixes for message canonicalization have been made.
* Bugs of header MIME encoding have been fixed.
from Gunnar Ritter):
* A missing #ifdef HAVE_ICONV caused build errors on platforms without
iconv() support (J.A. Neitzel, Jens Schleusener, Lars Kellogg-Stedman,
Felicia Neff, Chris Pinnock).
* Extraction of parts from header fields with more than 2560 characters
fixed (Lukasz Sznuk, William Cherry).
* Source archive name in nail.spec corrected (Didar Hussain).
* Fixed segmentation violation when encountering multipart header fields
that contain no ':' character (William Cherry).
* Respect the 'allnet' variable when comparing strings in message lists.
* IPv6 support (Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino).
- Added MAILER-DAEMON to the list of always recognized local
addresses, since it is generated by Postfix bounces.
- Bugfix: transport_errno was not reset upon successful
transport map wildcard lookup after an earlier failure.
- Cleanup: unnecessary warnings from the proxymap client
after proxymap server disconnect.
- Cleanup: Patrik Rak found a few more chattr invocations
that were missed 20021209. Files: postfix-install,
conf/post-install.
- Cleanup: the pcre-config command can produce null outputs.
- Bugfix: the virtual(8) Makefile included $(AUXLIBS) in the
dependencies.
- Bugfix: fixed in the snapshots 20030105 but missed in the
stable release. "sendmail -bs" tried to access the proxymap
service. It should not try to open any user/domain/uce
related tables at all.
even though it seems to work now.
Why commented-out? This patch also includes a TLS patch and I don't know
if it's better/more stable/whatever compared to the existing TLS patch.
What I'd like to have is a separate patch for IPv6 and TLS. According to
the author this is available in the near future.
Differences from Mew 2.2 are:
* Supporting Darwin.
* The structure of folder list is changed. Type "1Z" once after
upgrading to Mew 3.1
* You can enter folder search mode by typing C-s and C-r in
minibuffer.
* Off-line version of "x", namely "lx", is introduced.
* "x" became much faster thanks to a new algorithm of mew-dir-messages().
* A new range "sync" is defined.
* IMAP and NNTP are supported.
* +mdrop is renamed to $inbox.

composer with attachments.
* Auto-subscribe the user to his/her IMAP INBOX
* Made the default width of the mail filter editing dialog larger.
* Removed the development warning at startup. (Ettore)

between uses now, which is useful for people who normally select
names out of an LDAP directory. (Dan)
* Do not allow empty attendee addresses for meetings.
* Better alarm daemon activation.
* Notification of calendar query errors.
* Added status messages for all operations.
* Sensitivity problem when using the folder selector.

* We no longer allow selecting a folder of a non-allowed type with
a double-click in the folder selection dialog.
* The toolbar now includes a "New" dropdown menu/button from which
you can create messages, appointments, etc. from within any
folder.
* A new, integrated configuration dialog for all of Evolution is
now provided.
* When you use the folder selection dialog, you can now jump to a
folder just by typing its name and hitting Enter (instead of
using the arrows or the mouse).
* You can now specify your default mail, calendar, tasks and
contacts folders. The shortcuts in the shortcut bar will always
point to the default folder; so for example if you have an IMAP
account you can specify that the INBOX on the IMAP account is
default and clicking on the Inbox icon on the shortcut bar will
take you to the INBOX on the IMAP account.
* Fonts for displaying of HTML mail can now be configured from
within Evolution (instead of having to use GNOME Control
Center).
* You can now make Evolution play a sound, beep, or display a
message when new mail arrives. It is also possible to trigger
these actions based on a filter rule.
* The behavior of the search bar has been improved, and the UI has
been integrated better with the menu bar and the rest of the
system.

HP/UX, Solaris).
* Now installs some libraries and headers required for external
module development.
* You now can drop objects (eg. mail messages, appointments)
directly to the folders on the shortcut bar (in 1.0.x, you could
only drop them in the folder folder bar).
* Loading speed has been improved.
* When you receive an appointment through email, you can choose
which calendar to update, and if its for an existing appointment
the folder is automatically detected
* Calendar importer now supports importing to remote folders.
* Calendar GUI and alarm daemon now use listeners for the
configuration.
* Reaction to calendar backends crashing has been improved.
* Show status messages for all long calendar operations.
* Fixed default reminders description (was 'Untitled
appointment').
* Included timezone information on VCALENDAR's used in copy/paste.
* Removed extra space that was displayed for categories without
icons.
* When right clicking, correctly select the underlying date/time.
* Meeting scheduling improvements; sends replies when you update
your attendance status, warnings if the user changes a meeting
they didn't create.
* Deleting a meeting with a right click will now offer to send a
cancellation notice.
* Can accept meeting replies from non-attendees (they become
attendees).
* Fixed work day so start can't be before end, its minimum 1 hour
and the unshaded zone is not rounded to the nearest time
division (allowing the work hours to be 0:00 to 23:59).
* Fixed task view to update completion status the same as the
editor.
* Fixed leap year problem with day of week.
* Handle "last day of the month" and "last Tuesday of the month"
type recurrences.
* Contacts
* It is now possible to specify which folders are used for
autocompletion globally.
* Improved address selection dialog (for sending mail and meeting
requests).

* Caches are built for local addressbooks to speed up
autocompletion.
* Fixed wombat/addressbook crashes dealing with autocompletion, it
should be much more stable now.
* Categories on LDAP are now stored using a multivalued attribute
(category) instead of a comma separated list (categories), so
searches on categories in ldap actually work. The old attribute
is deprecated and should not be used.
* Standardized some of the static properties of addressbooks, and
removed some local addressbook logic from the frontend.
* When editing contacts from the composer entries (To:, CC:), pop
up the right kind of editor based on the contact type.
* Much improved LDAP backend responsiveness and performance.
* Mail
- New, much faster indexing engine. This results in faster mail
incorporation, faster mail display, and faster searches.
Overall, the new engine should work much better for larger
folders, and take considerably less space on the disk.
- Faster POP3 download, using the server's pipeline extensions if
available.
- If you type multiple words in the search bar for the
"... Contains" rules, Evolution will search messages that
contain all of the words you specified, in any order.
- More consistent search results for indexed, non-indexed and
remote folders.
- UTF8 (Unicode) used for all searches, even with IMAP servers.
- It is now possible to mark messages for follow-up and other
flags. It is also possible to change the color in which a
specific message is displayed in the mail list.
- When the message list is sorted by a certain field, it is possible
to jump to the first item in the list that matches a certain
string by just typing the first few characters.
- Filters are now updated automatically when the destination folder
gets moved or removed.
- A new filter rule allows you to pipe mail through an external
process to find out whether or not to filter it.
- You can now specify which folders get synced when switching to
offline mode.
- All previously read messages are automatically downloaded for
offline use.
- Offline state is preserved between sessions. Generally, offline
mode is more stable and complete.
- STARTTLS support for POP, SMTP and IMAP has been added.
- IMAP can now handle folder names containing &, -, and UTF-8
characters.
- You can have all of your mail Auto-Cc:ed or auto-Bcc:ed to a
specified set of recipients.
- SMTP error reporting has been improved.
- Much improved GnuPG support. Better pgp/mime interoperability.
- Improved support for external Maildir, MH, and mailbox folders,
and trees of folders. Internally they share more code now and
are easier to maintain.
- External mailbox folders can interoperate with pine/mutt/elm
status flags directly (at slightly performance penalty). See
options on the "spool" provider.
- Many IMAP related bugs fixed. IMAP now passes current folder
regression tests.
- IMAP body search results are now cached. Vastly improving
body search vFolder performance with IMAP sources.
- Optional IPv6 support.
- Progress bar added to subscribe dialogue.
- Camel's multithread safe object system streamlined and
improved. Many other internal cleanups inside Camel.
- vFolders can now have an additional column which shows the
original location of the message. Particularly useful for Trash
folder.
- New messages dont "upset" the thread view as much, if no sorting
is used.
- Various vFolder tweaks and fixes.
- Remote inline HTML images are now downloaded incrementally using
libsoup and are fully cancellable.
- Improved quotation display for format=flowed messages.
* Mail Composer
- You can now edit a set of signatures within Evolution, and pick
which signature you want when composing a message.
- Handling of replies has been improved; in particular, you can
now paste any text as a quotation, and quotation formatting is
preserved when switching between HTML and non-HTML mode.
- Evolution can now generate graphical smileys automatically as
you type.
- Quotation logic has been improved, rewrapping long lines in
replies now preserves quotation marks.
- Multiple simulataneous language support in the spell checker.
- Cut & Paste support for html between netscape/mozilla/evolution.
- Optimized rendering of long messages.
- Improved html rendering, including support for the clear
attribute in <br> elements.

upgrading from Postfix 1.1.
Hightlights:
- MIME support (including 8bit->7bit conversion and more
accurate matching of MIME headers in message bodies)
- completely rewritten RBL client code
- smarter handling of DNS lookup errors in UCE restrictions
- virtual delivery agent without transport map for every domain
- a long list of other things that are meant to improve performance
or functionality without compromising what already existed.
version) include:
============================================================================
2002/12/21 (2.5.14)
* Security patch release: This release fixes a cross-site scripting
(XSS) vulnerability in m2h_text_html::filter (the HTML filter).
A specially crafted HTML message can have scripting markup get
by the script filtering done by m2h_text_html::filter.
============================================================================
2002/10/21 (2.5.13)
* Bug Fixes: See
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?group_id=1968
&set=custom&advsrch=0&msort=0&report_id=105&go_report=Go
&fix_release=2.5.13&chunksz=50>
* DBFILE resource can now be set to an absolute pathname. This
allows the database file to be located in a separate location than
in the archive directory. If not an absolute pathname, then
value is treated relative to OUTDIR.
* readmail.pl updated to handle MHTML messages better. mhtxthtml.pl
changed accordingly.
* readmail.pl handling of malformed multipart messages improved.
Cases were a the terminating boundary delimiter did not exist would
generate a warning message in the converted message body that data
could not be converted. This case should now be handled so that
end of entitiy implies a terminating boundary delimiter,
(Thanks goto Randy Blaustein for providing real-world test cases).
* Fixed problem where some message attachments were "lost". This
mainly occurs when using mha-decode with the -dcd-digest option,
or if you have registered the m2h_external::filter for message/*
data types.
(Thanks goto Steve Johnson for finding this problem.)
* m2h_external::filter will now include the subject of a message
in the attachment link if saving message/* data to a file.
* m2h_external::filter properly escapes the filename parameter
when displaying it in the attachment link. This is done to
avoid any possible XSS exploits. Note, no exploits have been
reported by using the filename parameter in messages, so this
change is more of a preemptive measure.
* m2h_external::filter will fall back to a "txt" extension for
unknown text types instead of a "bin" extension.
* m2h_text_plain::filter: Removed hardcoded 'as-is' for US-ASCII
data. This is so a user could define a converter if having to deal
with mislabeled character data.
(Thanks goto Mooffie for finally finding a real-world case to not
hardcode us-ascii).
============================================================================
2002/09/03 (2.5.12)
* Strip more tags and attributes that could potentially be used for
XSS exploits in the HTML filter. This is a more of a preemptive
change since no new exploits have been reported.
* DATEFIELDS resource now supports indexed field names. For example:
<DateFields>
received[1]:received[0]:date
</DateFields>
The example says that mhonarc should check the second received
field, then the first received field, and then the first date field
to determine the date of a message.
This just tightens up on security a bit more.
Note anyone using plugins may have to check if all their plugins will work
with register_globals off.
(I've been using this on a local squirrelmail box with 1.2.9 for over a
month with no issues)
Main changes are:
* The option to sort by recipient has been added.
* The performance of initial sorting when opening folders has been
improved.
* The bug which would run into infinite loop and eventual crash when
encountering invalid characters in header MIME encoding has been fixed.
Prayer is a small and fast HTTP to IMAP gateway written entirely in C.
* Uses persistent connections to IMAP server and support servers.
* Target folders remain SELECTed: not a simple-minded proxy.
* Full caching (including sort/thread cache) for each open folder.
* Up to five persistent IMAP connections (typically one or two in use):
o INBOX and one other folder
o Postponed message folder stream
o Preferences stream
o Folder transfer stream
o Various optimisations/sharing to minimise actual IMAP connections
* Directory cache: single round trip to IMAP server for directory listing.
* Works well with UW IMAP server (even using Unix format mail folders).
* Little discernible load on a Pentium III class system running Linux with
5,000 logins/day (400 logins/hour, 150 concurrent logins)
* Uses 10% to 20% of the CPU and 400 MBytes of RAM on a PIII class system
with 23,000 logins/day (1,700 logins/hour, 850 concurrent logins peak)
* Aggressive HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 connection caching to reduce SSL overhead.
* Optional gzip compression of pages tunable by IP address range.
