335 was not properly updated.
336 + Condition 2 involved the call to gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is
337 based on the system clock, we now use the time as reported inside
338 timeseq() rather than outside. This way, we can be assured that the
339 same value is in use both places.

416 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
417 * Big news: OfflineIMAP can now sync two remote IMAP servers to each
418 other, with no need to write a Maildir at all.
419 * WARNING: the format of the configuration file *AND* the local
420 status area changes with this release!
421 * Major reworking of internal management of accounts. Previously, the
422 account defined a local Maildir and a remote IMAP server. Now, the
423 account is simply a connection between two repositories. For
424 traditional ones, an account basically specifies a refresh interval,
425 a Maildir repository, and an IMAP repository.
426 * Added a notion of a repository to the configuration file. Repositories
427 currently available are IMAP and Maildir. Combined with the new account
428 system, this lets the user define powerful combinations without
429 duplicating information.
430 * When uploading messages to an IMAP server, OfflineIMAP generates its
431 own X-OfflineIMAP header rather than trying to guess the new message UID
432 based on the Message-Id header. This leads to greater reliability when
433 uploading messages, especially when dealing with duplicate messages.
434 This change was required to permit reliable IMAP-to-IMAP syncing, but
435 helps with regular IMAP-to-Maildir syncing as well.
436 * Local status area under ~/.offlineimap revamped. It now contains
437 separate subdirectories for each account and repository, and they
438 contain UID validity information, UID mapping (for IMAP-to-IMAP
439 syncing). UID validity information is no longer stored in the Maildir
441 * New debug type: "thread" to debug multithreading.
442 * preauth tunnels no longer require remoteuser, remotepass, host,
443 or port in the configuration file.
444 * Logging for preauth tunnels is more sensible.
445 * Fixed a logic error for syncs with a reference that returns no folders.

482 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
483 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
485 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
486 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
487 algorithms, as described below.
488 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
489 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
490 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
491 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
492 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
494 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
495 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
496 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
497 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
498 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
499 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
500 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
501 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
502 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
503 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
504 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
505 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

520 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
521 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
522 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
523 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
525 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
526 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
527 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
528 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
530 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
531 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
532 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.
533 * Provided config file default for many more options. Closes: #168219.
534 * New example file offlineimap.conf.minimal showing you how to get started
535 fast. It uses only 6 lines to set up an account.

559 for on-demand and typos will no longer crash the program (the user
560 will be re-prompted). Closes: #162672.
561 * Falls back to plain-text auth if CRAM-MD5 fails. Fixes [complete.org #42]

566 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
568 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
569 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
570 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
571 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
572 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
573 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
574 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
575 Debian, Closes: #154165.
576 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
577 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
578 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
579 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
580 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

591 offlineimap (3.99.0) unstable; urgency=low
593 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
594 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
595 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
596 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
597 specified folders from the mbnames output.
598 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
599 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
600 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
601 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
602 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
603 easier, including debugging.
604 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
606 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
608 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
609 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
610 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
611 performs different functions.
612 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to
613 offlineimap/threadutil.py.
614 * offlineimap.py is back to ease the use of OfflineIMAP in single-user

650 * Applied patch from Tommi Virtanen that adds two new config file
651 options: pythonfile and foldersort. Fixes [complete.org #29], and
652 for Debian, Closes: #155637.
653 * Added documentation for the above features.

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

694 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
696 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
697 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
698 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
699 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
700 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
702 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
703 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
704 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
705 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
706 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
707 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
709 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
711 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
712 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
713 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.
714 * Fix reading the ui.Tk.Blinkenlights bufferlines option.

722 * New USER INTERFACES section in the manual.

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

747 Fixes [complete.org #11].
748 * Manual: added UW IMAPD example with references from docwhat@gerf.org.

773 * Now handles cases of not being able to get UID for an uploaded message
774 more gracefully. This could occur if the server doesn't support
775 SEARCH, can't find the message ID, or finds multiple message IDs.

784 * Detabified the source.
785 * Added UI list to the manpage.
786 * Added -o (run only once) option with patch sent in by Martijn Pieters.
787 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
788 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
789 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
790 asked to be deleted already has been.
791 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
792 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
793 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
794 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

798 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
800 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
801 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
802 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
803 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
804 debugging and status messages.
805 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
806 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
807 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
808 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
809 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
810 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
811 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
812 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
813 * New command-line options:
814 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
815 -u to force a particular UI
816 -a to specify which accounts to sync
818 -c to specify an alternate config file
819 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
820 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
821 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
822 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
823 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

831 Makes the code more robust; handles better with read-only folders;

833 may eliminate up to 2-3 commands per folder.
834 * Made sure IMAP folder savemessage() does a select. This was a possible
836 * Modified Maildir folder to unlink messages with T flag in

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

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

896 Now, local folders and status folders properly use the foldersep
897 mechanism. This corrects a problem with Exchange servers.
898 * Wrote a major new thread montiring subsystem, defined a new
899 ExitNotifyThread. Handling of Ctrl-C now occurs within 1 second
900 rather than after the whole program terminates. Exceptions that
901 occur in a thread are now caught by the main thread and marshalled
902 over into the UI side of things for dispatch. The entire program will

912 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
913 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the

915 There is also a new folderfilter option.
916 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
