* Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names
that contained NUL characters.
* IMAP: Fixed a memory leak with ESEARCH command handling
* Quota warnings could have been executed at incorrect times with
some configs.
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.

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
copy from there.
Update the Sieve plugin accordingly to 1.1.5.
Major changes since 1.0:
* After Dovecot v1.1 has modified index or dovecot-uidlist files,
they can't be opened anymore with Dovecot versions earlier than
v1.0.2.
* See doc/wiki/Upgrading.1.1.txt (or for latest changes,
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.1) for list of changes since
v1.0 that you should be aware of when upgrading.
+ IMAP: Added support for UIDPLUS and LIST-EXTENDED extensions.
+ IMAP SORT: Sort keys are indexed, which makes SORT commands faster.
+ When saving messages, update cache file immediately with the data
that we expect client to fetch later.
+ NFS caches are are flushed whenever needed. See mail_nfs_storage and
mail_nfs_index settings.
+ Out of order command execution (SEARCH, FETCH, LIST), nonstandard
command cancellation (X-CANCEL <tag>)
+ IMAP: STATUS-IN-LIST draft implementation
+ Expire plugin can be used to keep track of oldest messages in
specific mailboxes. A nightly run can then quickly expunge old
messages from the mailboxes that have them. The tracking is done
using lib-dict, so you can use either Berkeley DB or SQL database.
+ Namespaces are supported everywhere now.
+ Namespaces have new list and subscriptions settings.
+ Full text search indexing support with Lucene and Squat backends.
+ OTP and S/KEY authentication mechanisms (by Andrey Panin).
+ mbox and Maildir works with both Maildir++ and FS layouts. You can
change these by appending :LAYOUT=3Dmaildir++ or :LAYOUT=3Dfs to
mail_location.
+ LDAP: Support templates in pass_attrs and user_attrs
+ Support for listening in multiple IPs/ports.
+ Quota plugin rewrite: Support for multiple quota roots, warnings,
allow giving storage size in bytes or kilo/mega/giga/terabytes,
per-mailbox quota rules.
+ Filesystem quota backend supports inode limits, group quota and
RPC quota for NFS.
+ SEARCH and SORT finally compare non-ASCII characters
case-insensitively. We use i;unicode-casemap algorithm.
+ Config files support splitting values to multiple lines with \
pkgsrc option for kqueue support. Hence, remove --with-ioloop=best again, and
enable the "kqueue" option by default on *BSD platforms (as already suggested
by grant when he first added the option). The pkg's default behaviour does
not change, so don't bump PKGREVISION.
default at the next version bump?)
- set SSL_{CFLAGS,LIBS} when calling configure script so they are
found correctly on Solaris, and make the configure script do what it
claims and ignore pkg-config when these are set.
- add lib-sql Makefile patch from Dovecot CVS so this builds correctly
when no SQL auth support is built.
correct a mistake in my previous commit:
- add dependency on zlib
- add option for GNU TLS as an alternative to OpenSSL
- drop SASL option, it's no longer supported
- explicitly disable some options with --disable-*
- "s,/usr/pkg,@PREFIX@," in patch-ab -- I accidentally diffed it after the SUBST stage
- change SUBST_STAGE from post-patch to pre-configure to avoid this in the future
- bump PKGREVISION for all this

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.

bump PKGREVISION since this is a change from the previous behaviour,
where PAM support was autodetected. it must now be explicitly enabled
via PKG_OPTIONS.dovecot.
* GNUTLS support hasn't been working for a while, so it's not even
tried to be used anymore unless explicitly wanted.
+ Added CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanism. Patch by Joshua Goodall
+ Added SMD5 and LDAP-MD5 password schemes and changed MD5 scheme to
use LDAP-MD5 if the password isn't in MD5crypt format. Patch by
Joshua Goodall
+ Workaround for some POP3 client bugs: if message doesn't contain the
"end of headers" empty line, add it automatically.
+ vpopmail supports now all password schemes, most importantly
MD5crypt works now without support from libc's crypt()
- SQL and LDAP authentication was broken
- SEARCH UNKEYWORD wasn't working
pkgsrc changes:
* Disable GNU TLS support for the time being.
* Move the workaround for the gcc2 sparc64 ICE into hacks.mk.
* Format DESCR.
into the bsd.options.mk framework. Instead of appending to
${PKG_OPTIONS_VAR}, it appends to PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS. This causes
the default options to be the union of PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS and any
old USE_* and FOO_USE_* settings.
This fixes PR pkg/26590.
