292 been possible for this to have been called in such a way that timeseq
293 was not properly updated.
294 + Condition 2 involved the call to gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is
295 based on the system clock, we now use the time as reported inside
296 timeseq() rather than outside. This way, we can be assured that the
297 same value is in use both places.

374 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
375 * Big news: OfflineIMAP can now sync two remote IMAP servers to each
376 other, with no need to write a Maildir at all.
377 * WARNING: the format of the configuration file *AND* the local
378 status area changes with this release!
379 * Major reworking of internal management of accounts. Previously, the
380 account defined a local Maildir and a remote IMAP server. Now, the
381 account is simply a connection between two repositories. For
382 traditional ones, an account basically specifies a refresh interval,
383 a Maildir repository, and an IMAP repository.
384 * Added a notion of a repository to the configuration file. Repositories
385 currently available are IMAP and Maildir. Combined with the new account
386 system, this lets the user define powerful combinations without
387 duplicating information.
388 * When uploading messages to an IMAP server, OfflineIMAP generates its
389 own X-OfflineIMAP header rather than trying to guess the new message UID
390 based on the Message-Id header. This leads to greater reliability when
391 uploading messages, especially when dealing with duplicate messages.
392 This change was required to permit reliable IMAP-to-IMAP syncing, but
393 helps with regular IMAP-to-Maildir syncing as well.
394 * Local status area under ~/.offlineimap revamped. It now contains
395 separate subdirectories for each account and repository, and they
396 contain UID validity information, UID mapping (for IMAP-to-IMAP
397 syncing). UID validity information is no longer stored in the Maildir
399 * New debug type: "thread" to debug multithreading.
400 * preauth tunnels no longer require remoteuser, remotepass, host,
401 or port in the configuration file.
402 * Logging for preauth tunnels is more sensible.
403 * Fixed a logic error for syncs with a reference that returns no folders.

440 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
441 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
443 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
444 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
445 algorithms, as described below.
446 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
447 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
448 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
449 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
450 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
452 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
453 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
454 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
455 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
456 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
457 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
458 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
459 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
460 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
461 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
462 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
463 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

469 * This a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
470 * Completed work to make both graphical interfaces work
471 with a threaded Tcl/Tk Tkinter. A threaded Tcl/Tk actually makes
472 life MORE difficult for multi-threaded Python programs, argh.
473 * Now properly handles folder names that contain parenthesis. Used
474 patch from Kyler Laird in
475 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173895.
477 * Changed to a more account-centric behavior. The refresh time is now
478 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
479 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
480 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
481 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
483 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
484 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
485 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
486 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
488 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
489 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
490 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.

514 offlineimap (3.99.3) unstable; urgency=low
516 * Moved password promting into imapserver.py. Passwords are now asked
517 for on-demand and typos will no longer crash the program (the user
518 will be re-prompted). Closes: #162672.
519 * Falls back to plain-text auth if CRAM-MD5 fails. Fixes [complete.org #42]
520 * Fixed CRAM-MD5 auth so it actually works now.

524 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
526 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
527 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
528 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
529 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
530 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
531 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
532 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
533 Debian, Closes: #154165.
534 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
535 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
536 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
537 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
538 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

549 offlineimap (3.99.0) unstable; urgency=low
551 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
552 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
553 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
554 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
555 specified folders from the mbnames output.
556 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
557 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
558 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
559 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
560 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
561 easier, including debugging.
562 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
564 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
566 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
567 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
568 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
569 performs different functions.
570 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to
571 offlineimap/threadutil.py.
572 * offlineimap.py is back to ease the use of OfflineIMAP in single-user

586 * Moved executable to bin/offlineimap. This will allow setup.py to
587 properly install it as offlineimap instead of offlineimap.py.
588 * Made sure executables use /usr/bin/env in bangpath.
589 * Font size for Blinkenlights interface is now configurable.

595 * Changed indentation in debian/control. Closes: #156327.
596 * Removed calls to folder object deletions. None have been implemented
598 * folder/Maildir.py: unlink throws OSError, not IOError; fixed.
599 Now handles message deleting race condition properly.

604 offlineimap (3.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
606 * Now handles uploading messages without Message-Id headers.
608 * Applied patch from Tommi Virtanen that adds two new config file
609 options: pythonfile and foldersort. Fixes [complete.org #29], and
610 for Debian, Closes: #155637.
611 * Added documentation for the above features.
612 * Even more resiliant in the face of invalid Date headers. Closes: #155994.

616 offlineimap (3.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
618 * When using nested folders, the Maildir repository handler now properly
619 deals with folders that are nested inside "noselect" folders -- ones
620 that do not actually contain messages and are not provided in the
621 server's LIST response. Fixes [complete.org #32] and, for Debian,

633 offlineimap (3.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
635 * Updated manual to show new Gray color.
636 * Scrolling behavior is better now; sometimes, with fast-scrolling text,
637 the log would stop scrolling.
638 * Better handling of read-only folders. We will now warn if there is
639 a change, but not propogate it. New config variable ignore-readonly
640 can suppress the warnings. This fixes [complete.org #10] and,
641 for Debian, Closes: #154769.
642 * If a given Maildir folder is new, remove the associated local status
643 cache file, if any. That way, there will not be any chance of
644 propogating hordes of deletes and adds based on old status data.
645 * Added support for /-separated Maildirs -- that is, hierarchical
646 Maildir trees. Fixes [complete.org #28] and, for Debian,
648 * Preventitive security: Folder names may not contain ./ or start with /.

652 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
654 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
655 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
656 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
657 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
658 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
660 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
661 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
662 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
663 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
664 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
665 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
667 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
669 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
670 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
671 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.
672 * Fix reading the ui.Tk.Blinkenlights bufferlines option.

679 * New ui.Tk.Blinkenlights section in offlineimap.conf.
680 * New USER INTERFACES section in the manual.
681 * TTYUI isusable() now checks to see if stdout and stdin are TTYs.
682 * Added build-dependency on python2.2-dev. Closes: #154167.

686 offlineimap (3.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
688 * Modified imaputil.py and folder/Maildir.py to run faster. Eliminated
689 many regular expressions; pre-compiled many others.
690 * Fixed threadutil's exitnotifyloop to always handle threads in the order
691 they exited, rather than sometimes in the inverse order. This way,
692 make sure to handle thread's exception messages before a thread exited.
693 * Replaced imaplib.py's braindead readline() with a more efficient one.
694 * More optimizations to imaputil and folders for faster operation.
695 * These optimizations, all together, have resulted in OfflineIMAP
696 using approximately half the CPU time of previous versions, fixing
697 [complete.org #6], and... Closes: #153503.

704 the message is stored weirdly. That way, everything is uniform.
705 Fixes [complete.org #11].
706 * Manual: added UW IMAPD example with references from docwhat@gerf.org.
707 * New UI modules: Noninteractive.Basic and Noninteractive.Quiet.
708 Fixes [complete.org #14].
709 * Added per-thread profiling support to aid in debugging.

716 Date headers; will just set IMAP Internaldate to the current date.
718 * No longer doubles-up reference names for mailboxes. Closes: #153515.
719 * Noted new bug-tracking system in manual and rebuilt manual files.
720 * Now stores incoming messages in 'cur' instead of 'new' if they have
721 the S flag. Closes: #152482.

729 * Fixed remotepassfile option. Closes: #153119. Used 1-line patch from
731 * Now handles cases of not being able to get UID for an uploaded message
732 more gracefully. This could occur if the server doesn't support
733 SEARCH, can't find the message ID, or finds multiple message IDs.
735 * Now source is in Subversion. Make version.py log the Subversion

740 offlineimap (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
742 * Detabified the source.
743 * Added UI list to the manpage.
744 * Added -o (run only once) option with patch sent in by Martijn Pieters.
745 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
746 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
747 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
748 asked to be deleted already has been.
749 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
750 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
751 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
752 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

756 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
758 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
759 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
760 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
761 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
762 debugging and status messages.
763 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
764 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
765 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
766 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
767 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
768 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
769 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
770 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
771 * New command-line options:
772 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
773 -u to force a particular UI
774 -a to specify which accounts to sync
776 -c to specify an alternate config file
777 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
778 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
779 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
780 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
781 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

786 offlineimap (2.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
788 * Modified the IMAP folder to use SELECT rather than STATUS more often.
789 Makes the code more robust; handles better with read-only folders;
790 and runs faster, especially for non-threaded useres, where it
791 may eliminate up to 2-3 commands per folder.
792 * Made sure IMAP folder savemessage() does a select. This was a possible
794 * Modified Maildir folder to unlink messages with T flag in
796 * My own box now syncs in 3 seconds.
797 * Optimized acquireconnection() to try to give a thread back the
798 connection that it last used, if possible.

808 offlineimap (2.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
810 * Added support for holdconnectionopen and keepalive. This feature
811 allows for an IMAP server connection(s) to be held open until
812 the next sync process, permitting faster restart times.
813 * Another try at read-only folder support. This is nasty because I
814 have no way to test it and imaplib's read-only support is weird.
815 * Closing out old bug; fixed in 1.0.2. Closes: #150803.
816 * Optimized algorithm so that a SELECT is never issued for folders
817 that contain no messages.

851 offlineimap (2.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
853 * Fixed a bug with not properly propogating foldersep changes.
854 Now, local folders and status folders properly use the foldersep
855 mechanism. This corrects a problem with Exchange servers.
856 * Wrote a major new thread montiring subsystem, defined a new
857 ExitNotifyThread. Handling of Ctrl-C now occurs within 1 second
858 rather than after the whole program terminates. Exceptions that
859 occur in a thread are now caught by the main thread and marshalled
860 over into the UI side of things for dispatch. The entire program will
861 now abort when one thread dies with an exception.

869 * Fixed the STATUS call to be compatible with Exchange.
870 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
871 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the
872 general section and maxconnections to each account sections.
873 There is also a new folderfilter option.
874 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
875 example file packaged with the distribution.
876 * The Debian package now properly installs the example offlineimap.conf
