1 offlineimap (3.99.8) unstable; urgency=low
3 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
4 * Fixed several problems with the Curses interface: colors showing
5 up very weird on FreeBSD and exceptions when running on non-color

10 offlineimap (3.99.7) unstable; urgency=low
12 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
13 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
14 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
16 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
17 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
18 algorithms, as described below.
19 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
20 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
21 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
22 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
23 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
25 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
26 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
27 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
28 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
29 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
30 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
31 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
32 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
33 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
34 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
35 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
36 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

40 offlineimap (3.99.6) unstable; urgency=low
42 * This a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
43 * Completed work to make both graphical interfaces work
44 with a threaded Tcl/Tk Tkinter. A threaded Tcl/Tk actually makes
45 life MORE difficult for multi-threaded Python programs, argh.
46 * Now properly handles folder names that contain parenthesis. Used
47 patch from Kyler Laird in
48 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173895.
50 * Changed to a more account-centric behavior. The refresh time is now
51 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
52 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
53 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
54 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
56 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
57 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
58 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
59 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
61 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
62 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
63 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.
64 * Provided config file default for many more options. Closes: #168219.
65 * New example file offlineimap.conf.minimal showing you how to get started
66 fast. It uses only 6 lines to set up an account.

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

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

97 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
99 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
100 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
101 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
102 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
103 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
104 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
105 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
106 Debian, Closes: #154165.
107 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
108 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
109 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
110 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
111 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

122 offlineimap (3.99.0) unstable; urgency=low
124 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
125 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
126 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
127 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
128 specified folders from the mbnames output.
129 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
130 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
131 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
132 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
133 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
134 easier, including debugging.
135 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
137 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
139 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
140 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
141 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
142 performs different functions.
143 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to
144 offlineimap/threadutil.py.
145 * offlineimap.py is back to ease the use of OfflineIMAP in single-user

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

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

179 * Now handles uploading messages without Message-Id headers.
181 * Applied patch from Tommi Virtanen that adds two new config file
182 options: pythonfile and foldersort. Fixes [complete.org #29], and
183 for Debian, Closes: #155637.
184 * Added documentation for the above features.

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

225 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
227 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
228 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
229 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
230 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
231 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
233 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
234 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
235 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
236 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
237 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
238 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
240 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
242 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
243 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
244 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.
245 * Fix reading the ui.Tk.Blinkenlights bufferlines option.

251 * New BLINKENLIGHTS interface! Mesmerising, isn't it?
252 * New ui.Tk.Blinkenlights section in offlineimap.conf.
253 * New USER INTERFACES section in the manual.
254 * TTYUI isusable() now checks to see if stdout and stdin are TTYs.
255 * Added build-dependency on python2.2-dev. Closes: #154167.

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

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

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

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

313 offlineimap (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
315 * Detabified the source.
316 * Added UI list to the manpage.
317 * Added -o (run only once) option with patch sent in by Martijn Pieters.
318 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
319 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
320 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
321 asked to be deleted already has been.
322 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
323 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
324 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
325 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

329 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
331 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
332 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
333 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
334 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
335 debugging and status messages.
336 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
337 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
338 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
339 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
340 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
341 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
342 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
343 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
344 * New command-line options:
345 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
346 -u to force a particular UI
347 -a to specify which accounts to sync
349 -c to specify an alternate config file
350 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
351 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
352 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
353 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
354 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

362 Makes the code more robust; handles better with read-only folders;
363 and runs faster, especially for non-threaded useres, where it
364 may eliminate up to 2-3 commands per folder.
365 * Made sure IMAP folder savemessage() does a select. This was a possible
367 * Modified Maildir folder to unlink messages with T flag in

370 * Optimized acquireconnection() to try to give a thread back the
371 connection that it last used, if possible.

383 * Added support for holdconnectionopen and keepalive. This feature
384 allows for an IMAP server connection(s) to be held open until
385 the next sync process, permitting faster restart times.
386 * Another try at read-only folder support. This is nasty because I
387 have no way to test it and imaplib's read-only support is weird.
388 * Closing out old bug; fixed in 1.0.2. Closes: #150803.
389 * Optimized algorithm so that a SELECT is never issued for folders
390 that contain no messages.

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

443 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
444 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the
445 general section and maxconnections to each account sections.
446 There is also a new folderfilter option.
447 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
