411 been possible for this to have been called in such a way that timeseq
412 was not properly updated.
413 + Condition 2 involved the call to gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is
414 based on the system clock, we now use the time as reported inside
415 timeseq() rather than outside. This way, we can be assured that the
416 same value is in use both places.

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

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

556 offlineimap (3.99.7) unstable; urgency=low
558 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
559 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
560 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
562 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
563 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
564 algorithms, as described below.
565 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
566 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
567 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
568 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
569 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
571 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
572 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
573 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
574 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
575 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
576 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
577 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
578 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
579 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
580 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
581 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
582 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

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

637 will be re-prompted). Closes: #162672.
638 * Falls back to plain-text auth if CRAM-MD5 fails. Fixes [complete.org #42]

643 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
645 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
646 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
647 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
648 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
649 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
650 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
651 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
652 Debian, Closes: #154165.
653 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
654 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
655 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
656 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
657 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

670 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
671 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
672 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
673 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
674 specified folders from the mbnames output.
675 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
676 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
677 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
678 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
679 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
680 easier, including debugging.
681 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
683 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
685 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
686 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
687 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
688 performs different functions.
689 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to

754 * Updated manual to show new Gray color.

756 the log would stop scrolling.
757 * Better handling of read-only folders. We will now warn if there is
758 a change, but not propogate it. New config variable ignore-readonly
759 can suppress the warnings. This fixes [complete.org #10] and,
760 for Debian, Closes: #154769.
761 * If a given Maildir folder is new, remove the associated local status
762 cache file, if any. That way, there will not be any chance of
763 propogating hordes of deletes and adds based on old status data.
764 * Added support for /-separated Maildirs -- that is, hierarchical
765 Maildir trees. Fixes [complete.org #28] and, for Debian,

771 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
773 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
774 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
775 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
776 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
777 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
779 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
780 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
781 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
782 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
783 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
784 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
786 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
788 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
789 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
790 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.

807 * Modified imaputil.py and folder/Maildir.py to run faster. Eliminated
808 many regular expressions; pre-compiled many others.
809 * Fixed threadutil's exitnotifyloop to always handle threads in the order
810 they exited, rather than sometimes in the inverse order. This way,
811 make sure to handle thread's exception messages before a thread exited.
812 * Replaced imaplib.py's braindead readline() with a more efficient one.
813 * More optimizations to imaputil and folders for faster operation.
814 * These optimizations, all together, have resulted in OfflineIMAP
815 using approximately half the CPU time of previous versions, fixing

864 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
865 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
866 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
867 asked to be deleted already has been.
868 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
869 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
870 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
871 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

875 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
877 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
878 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
879 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
880 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
881 debugging and status messages.
882 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
883 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
884 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
885 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
886 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
887 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
888 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
889 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
890 * New command-line options:
891 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
892 -u to force a particular UI
893 -a to specify which accounts to sync
895 -c to specify an alternate config file
896 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
897 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
898 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
899 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
900 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

933 have no way to test it and imaplib's read-only support is weird.

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