+HISTORY
+ Detailed history may be found in the file ChangeLog in the OfflineIMAP
+ distribution. Feature and bug histories may be found in the file
+ debian/changelog which, despite its name, is not really Debian-spe-
+ cific. This section provides a large overview.
+
+ Development on OfflineIMAP began on June 18, 2002. Version 1.0.0 was
+ released three days later on June 21, 2002. Point releases followed,
+ including speed optimizations and some compatibility fixes.
+
+ Version 2.0.0 was released on July 3, 2002, and represented the first
+ time the synchronization became multithreaded and, to the best of my
+ knowledge, the first multithreaded IMAP syncrhonizing application in
+ existance. The last 2.0.x release, 2.0.8, was made on July 9.
+
+ Version 3.0.0 was released on July 11, 2002, and introduced modular
+ user interfaces and the first GUI interface for OfflineIMAP. This man-
+ ual also was introduced with 3.0.0, along with many command-line
+ options. Version 3.1.0 was released on July 21, adding the Noninterac-
+ tive user interfaces, profiling support, and several bugfixes. 3.2.0
+ was released on July 24, adding support for the Blinkenlights GUI
+ interface. OfflineIMAP entered maintenance mode for awhile, as it had
+ reached a feature-complete milestone in my mind.
+
+ The 3.99.x branch began in on October 7, 2002, to begin work for 4.0.
+ The Curses.Blinkenlights interface was added in 3.99.6, and many archi-
+ tectural changes were made.
+
+ 4.0.0 was released on July 18, 2003, including the ability to synchro-
+ nize directly between two IMAP servers, the first re-architecting of
+ the configuration file to refine the notion of an account, and the new
+ Curses interface.
