302 * Fixed two potential obscure race conditions in folder/Maildir.py.

304 accesses per-module variables but does not have a lock. It may have
305 been possible for this to have been called in such a way that timeseq
306 was not properly updated.
307 + Condition 2 involved the call to gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is
308 based on the system clock, we now use the time as reported inside
309 timeseq() rather than outside. This way, we can be assured that the
310 same value is in use both places.
311 * Added debug code to savemessage in folder/Maildir.py to try to track

325 in OfflineIMAP and in mail servers that implement this poorly.

327 no headers. (This should not generally occur.) This should help

338 * Raise an exception when the status area is locked. This will cause UIs

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

452 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
453 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
454 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
456 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
457 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
458 algorithms, as described below.
459 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
460 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
461 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
462 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
463 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
465 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
466 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
467 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
468 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
469 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
470 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
471 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
472 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
473 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
474 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
475 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
476 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

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

519 * Fixed setup.py installation instructions.
520 * Added more debugging to the CRAM-MD5 authentication module.
521 * CRAM-MD5 *really* fixed this time. Thanks to MJ for the patch.
522 * Adding missing import os to imapserver.py. Thanks to John Wiegley

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

537 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
539 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
540 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
541 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
542 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
543 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
544 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
545 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
546 Debian, Closes: #154165.
547 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
548 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
549 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
550 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
551 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

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

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

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

634 server's LIST response. Fixes [complete.org #32] and, for Debian,

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

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

693 * New USER INTERFACES section in the manual.
694 * TTYUI isusable() now checks to see if stdout and stdin are TTYs.

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

717 the message is stored weirdly. That way, everything is uniform.
718 Fixes [complete.org #11].
719 * Manual: added UW IMAPD example with references from docwhat@gerf.org.

721 Fixes [complete.org #14].
722 * Added per-thread profiling support to aid in debugging.

731 * No longer doubles-up reference names for mailboxes. Closes: #153515.
732 * Noted new bug-tracking system in manual and rebuilt manual files.

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

753 offlineimap (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
755 * Detabified the source.
756 * Added UI list to the manpage.
757 * Added -o (run only once) option with patch sent in by Martijn Pieters.
758 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
759 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
760 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
761 asked to be deleted already has been.
762 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
763 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
764 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
765 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

769 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
771 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
772 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
773 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
774 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
775 debugging and status messages.
776 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
777 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
778 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
779 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
780 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
781 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
782 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
783 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
784 * New command-line options:
785 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
786 -u to force a particular UI
787 -a to specify which accounts to sync
789 -c to specify an alternate config file
790 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
791 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
792 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
793 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
794 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

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

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

866 * Fixed a bug with not properly propogating foldersep changes.
867 Now, local folders and status folders properly use the foldersep
868 mechanism. This corrects a problem with Exchange servers.
869 * Wrote a major new thread montiring subsystem, defined a new
870 ExitNotifyThread. Handling of Ctrl-C now occurs within 1 second
871 rather than after the whole program terminates. Exceptions that
872 occur in a thread are now caught by the main thread and marshalled
873 over into the UI side of things for dispatch. The entire program will
874 now abort when one thread dies with an exception.

883 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
884 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the
885 general section and maxconnections to each account sections.
886 There is also a new folderfilter option.
887 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
888 example file packaged with the distribution.
