Log Message:
- Update mail/dovecot to 1.0beta2. The 1.0 betas are very stable, and
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.
All suggested (and ok'ed) by xtraeme.
