393 + Condition 2 involved the call to gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is

395 timeseq() rather than outside. This way, we can be assured that the
396 same value is in use both places.

473 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
474 * Big news: OfflineIMAP can now sync two remote IMAP servers to each
475 other, with no need to write a Maildir at all.
476 * WARNING: the format of the configuration file *AND* the local
477 status area changes with this release!
478 * Major reworking of internal management of accounts. Previously, the
479 account defined a local Maildir and a remote IMAP server. Now, the
480 account is simply a connection between two repositories. For
481 traditional ones, an account basically specifies a refresh interval,
482 a Maildir repository, and an IMAP repository.
483 * Added a notion of a repository to the configuration file. Repositories
484 currently available are IMAP and Maildir. Combined with the new account
485 system, this lets the user define powerful combinations without
486 duplicating information.
487 * When uploading messages to an IMAP server, OfflineIMAP generates its
488 own X-OfflineIMAP header rather than trying to guess the new message UID
489 based on the Message-Id header. This leads to greater reliability when
490 uploading messages, especially when dealing with duplicate messages.
491 This change was required to permit reliable IMAP-to-IMAP syncing, but
492 helps with regular IMAP-to-Maildir syncing as well.
493 * Local status area under ~/.offlineimap revamped. It now contains
494 separate subdirectories for each account and repository, and they
495 contain UID validity information, UID mapping (for IMAP-to-IMAP
496 syncing). UID validity information is no longer stored in the Maildir
498 * New debug type: "thread" to debug multithreading.
499 * preauth tunnels no longer require remoteuser, remotepass, host,
500 or port in the configuration file.
501 * Logging for preauth tunnels is more sensible.
502 * Fixed a logic error for syncs with a reference that returns no folders.

538 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
539 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
540 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
542 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
543 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
544 algorithms, as described below.
545 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
546 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
547 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
548 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
549 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
551 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
552 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
553 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
554 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
555 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
556 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
557 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
558 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
559 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
560 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
561 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
562 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

566 offlineimap (3.99.6) unstable; urgency=low
568 * This a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
569 * Completed work to make both graphical interfaces work
570 with a threaded Tcl/Tk Tkinter. A threaded Tcl/Tk actually makes
571 life MORE difficult for multi-threaded Python programs, argh.
572 * Now properly handles folder names that contain parenthesis. Used
573 patch from Kyler Laird in
574 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173895.
576 * Changed to a more account-centric behavior. The refresh time is now
577 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
578 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
579 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
580 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
582 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
583 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
584 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
585 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
587 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
588 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
589 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.
590 * Provided config file default for many more options. Closes: #168219.
591 * New example file offlineimap.conf.minimal showing you how to get started
592 fast. It uses only 6 lines to set up an account.

623 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
625 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
626 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
627 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
628 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
629 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
630 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
631 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
632 Debian, Closes: #154165.
633 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
634 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
635 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
636 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
637 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

650 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
651 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
652 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
653 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
654 specified folders from the mbnames output.
655 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
656 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
657 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
658 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
659 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
660 easier, including debugging.
661 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
663 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
665 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
666 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
667 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
668 performs different functions.
669 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to

736 the log would stop scrolling.
737 * Better handling of read-only folders. We will now warn if there is
738 a change, but not propogate it. New config variable ignore-readonly
739 can suppress the warnings. This fixes [complete.org #10] and,
740 for Debian, Closes: #154769.
741 * If a given Maildir folder is new, remove the associated local status
742 cache file, if any. That way, there will not be any chance of
743 propogating hordes of deletes and adds based on old status data.
744 * Added support for /-separated Maildirs -- that is, hierarchical

751 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
753 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
754 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
755 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
756 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
757 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
759 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
760 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
761 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
762 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
763 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
764 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and

768 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
769 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
770 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.

787 * Modified imaputil.py and folder/Maildir.py to run faster. Eliminated
788 many regular expressions; pre-compiled many others.
789 * Fixed threadutil's exitnotifyloop to always handle threads in the order
790 they exited, rather than sometimes in the inverse order. This way,
791 make sure to handle thread's exception messages before a thread exited.
792 * Replaced imaplib.py's braindead readline() with a more efficient one.
793 * More optimizations to imaputil and folders for faster operation.

845 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
846 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
847 asked to be deleted already has been.
848 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
849 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
850 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
851 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

859 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
860 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
861 debugging and status messages.
862 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
863 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
864 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
865 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
866 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
867 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
868 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
869 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
870 * New command-line options:
871 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
872 -u to force a particular UI
873 -a to specify which accounts to sync
875 -c to specify an alternate config file
876 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
877 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
878 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
879 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
880 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

956 ExitNotifyThread. Handling of Ctrl-C now occurs within 1 second
957 rather than after the whole program terminates. Exceptions that
958 occur in a thread are now caught by the main thread and marshalled
