216 * Fixed two potential obscure race conditions in folder/Maildir.py.

218 accesses per-module variables but does not have a lock. It may have
219 been possible for this to have been called in such a way that timeseq
220 was not properly updated.
221 + Condition 2 involved the call to gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is
222 based on the system clock, we now use the time as reported inside
223 timeseq() rather than outside. This way, we can be assured that the
224 same value is in use both places.

239 in OfflineIMAP and in mail servers that implement this poorly.

301 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
302 * Big news: OfflineIMAP can now sync two remote IMAP servers to each
303 other, with no need to write a Maildir at all.
304 * WARNING: the format of the configuration file *AND* the local
305 status area changes with this release!
306 * Major reworking of internal management of accounts. Previously, the
307 account defined a local Maildir and a remote IMAP server. Now, the
308 account is simply a connection between two repositories. For
309 traditional ones, an account basically specifies a refresh interval,
310 a Maildir repository, and an IMAP repository.
311 * Added a notion of a repository to the configuration file. Repositories
312 currently available are IMAP and Maildir. Combined with the new account
313 system, this lets the user define powerful combinations without
314 duplicating information.
315 * When uploading messages to an IMAP server, OfflineIMAP generates its
316 own X-OfflineIMAP header rather than trying to guess the new message UID
317 based on the Message-Id header. This leads to greater reliability when
318 uploading messages, especially when dealing with duplicate messages.
319 This change was required to permit reliable IMAP-to-IMAP syncing, but
320 helps with regular IMAP-to-Maildir syncing as well.
321 * Local status area under ~/.offlineimap revamped. It now contains
322 separate subdirectories for each account and repository, and they
323 contain UID validity information, UID mapping (for IMAP-to-IMAP
324 syncing). UID validity information is no longer stored in the Maildir
326 * New debug type: "thread" to debug multithreading.
327 * preauth tunnels no longer require remoteuser, remotepass, host,
328 or port in the configuration file.
329 * Logging for preauth tunnels is more sensible.
330 * Fixed a logic error for syncs with a reference that returns no folders.

366 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
367 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
368 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
370 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
371 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
372 algorithms, as described below.
373 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
374 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
375 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
376 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
377 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
379 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
380 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
381 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
382 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
383 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
384 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
385 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
386 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
387 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
388 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
389 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
390 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

396 * This a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
397 * Completed work to make both graphical interfaces work
398 with a threaded Tcl/Tk Tkinter. A threaded Tcl/Tk actually makes
399 life MORE difficult for multi-threaded Python programs, argh.
400 * Now properly handles folder names that contain parenthesis. Used
401 patch from Kyler Laird in
402 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173895.
404 * Changed to a more account-centric behavior. The refresh time is now
405 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
406 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
407 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
408 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
410 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
411 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
412 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
413 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
415 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
416 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
417 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.
418 * Provided config file default for many more options. Closes: #168219.

456 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
457 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
458 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
459 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for

462 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
463 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.

511 offlineimap (3.2.7) unstable; urgency=low
513 * Moved executable to bin/offlineimap. This will allow setup.py to
514 properly install it as offlineimap instead of offlineimap.py.
515 * Made sure executables use /usr/bin/env in bangpath.
516 * Font size for Blinkenlights interface is now configurable.

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

531 offlineimap (3.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
533 * Now handles uploading messages without Message-Id headers.
535 * Applied patch from Tommi Virtanen that adds two new config file
536 options: pythonfile and foldersort. Fixes [complete.org #29], and
537 for Debian, Closes: #155637.
538 * Added documentation for the above features.
539 * Even more resiliant in the face of invalid Date headers. Closes: #155994.

543 offlineimap (3.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
545 * When using nested folders, the Maildir repository handler now properly
546 deals with folders that are nested inside "noselect" folders -- ones
547 that do not actually contain messages and are not provided in the
548 server's LIST response. Fixes [complete.org #32] and, for Debian,

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

579 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
581 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
582 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
583 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
584 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
585 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
587 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
588 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
589 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
590 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
591 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
592 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
594 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
596 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
597 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
598 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.
599 * Fix reading the ui.Tk.Blinkenlights bufferlines option.

606 * New ui.Tk.Blinkenlights section in offlineimap.conf.
607 * New USER INTERFACES section in the manual.
608 * TTYUI isusable() now checks to see if stdout and stdin are TTYs.
609 * Added build-dependency on python2.2-dev. Closes: #154167.

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

630 * When uploading messages from a Maildir, now convert \r\n to \n in case
631 the message is stored weirdly. That way, everything is uniform.
632 Fixes [complete.org #11].
633 * Manual: added UW IMAPD example with references from docwhat@gerf.org.
634 * New UI modules: Noninteractive.Basic and Noninteractive.Quiet.
635 Fixes [complete.org #14].
636 * Added per-thread profiling support to aid in debugging.

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

655 than remotefolder.getvisiblename()
656 * Fixed remotepassfile option. Closes: #153119. Used 1-line patch from
658 * Now handles cases of not being able to get UID for an uploaded message
659 more gracefully. This could occur if the server doesn't support
660 SEARCH, can't find the message ID, or finds multiple message IDs.
662 * Now source is in Subversion. Make version.py log the Subversion

667 offlineimap (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
669 * Detabified the source.
670 * Added UI list to the manpage.
671 * Added -o (run only once) option with patch sent in by Martijn Pieters.
672 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
673 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
674 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
675 asked to be deleted already has been.
676 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
677 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
678 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
679 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

683 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
685 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
686 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
687 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
688 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
689 debugging and status messages.
690 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
691 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
692 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
693 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
694 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
695 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
696 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
697 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
698 * New command-line options:
699 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
700 -u to force a particular UI
701 -a to specify which accounts to sync
703 -c to specify an alternate config file
704 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
705 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
706 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
707 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
708 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

715 * Modified the IMAP folder to use SELECT rather than STATUS more often.
716 Makes the code more robust; handles better with read-only folders;
717 and runs faster, especially for non-threaded useres, where it
718 may eliminate up to 2-3 commands per folder.
719 * Made sure IMAP folder savemessage() does a select. This was a possible
721 * Modified Maildir folder to unlink messages with T flag in
723 * My own box now syncs in 3 seconds.
724 * Optimized acquireconnection() to try to give a thread back the
725 connection that it last used, if possible.

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

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

795 behavior. This can make synchronizing several times faster.
796 * Fixed the STATUS call to be compatible with Exchange.
797 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
798 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the
799 general section and maxconnections to each account sections.
800 There is also a new folderfilter option.
801 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
802 example file packaged with the distribution.
