Oryx Mailstore 0.94

0.94 was released on 2005-05-23. (The release was delayed by a week due to a server crash.)

Oryx plans to use Mailstore 0.94 on its own mail server.

If you want to try it, we suggest the use of < a href="conf/message-copy-directory">message-copy-directory to keep a copy of all incoming mail, and request that you subscribe to the mailstore-users list.

The next release is expected on 2005-06-20. If you would like to be notified, please join our announcements list.

Known bugs and other defects:

There may be some problems with Thunderbird.
IMAP TEXT/BODY searches have been disabled. They will be fixed and re-enabled in the next release.

Changes since 0.93:

The schema has undergone some changes. Mailstore should be able to upgrade your old schema automatically, but it could take a long time. You may want to start over with a new database instead.
The message-copy-directory configuration variable can be used to keep a copy of all incoming messages. (Which we strongly recommend.)
Preliminary ACL support (RFC 2086). Permissions are respected, but the ACL management commands are not yet supported.
Improved RFC 2047 support in display-names.
We upgraded to Cryptlib 3.2.
TLS support works now. If you are not using the bundled cryptlib, you will need this patch to fix the problem.
Numerous speed and memory usage improvements.

Major internal changes:

The memory allocator and some core classes (List, String, Buffer) have been extensively tuned for better performance and memory usage.
Our test coverage is steadily improving.

Due to the delays, we decided to defer some features until 0.95. We will focus on improved performance and fully-functional searching in the next release.

Note:

Archiveopteryx 0.94 is no longer supported. We advise upgrading to 1.16 or later.
