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

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

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

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

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

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

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

740 * Updated manual to show new Gray color.
741 * Scrolling behavior is better now; sometimes, with fast-scrolling text,
742 the log would stop scrolling.
743 * Better handling of read-only folders. We will now warn if there is
744 a change, but not propogate it. New config variable ignore-readonly
745 can suppress the warnings. This fixes [complete.org #10] and,
746 for Debian, Closes: #154769.
747 * If a given Maildir folder is new, remove the associated local status
748 cache file, if any. That way, there will not be any chance of
749 propogating hordes of deletes and adds based on old status data.
750 * Added support for /-separated Maildirs -- that is, hierarchical
751 Maildir trees. Fixes [complete.org #28] and, for Debian,

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

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

811 * Manual: added UW IMAPD example with references from docwhat@gerf.org.

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

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

919 have no way to test it and imaplib's read-only support is weird.
920 * Closing out old bug; fixed in 1.0.2. Closes: #150803.

959 Now, local folders and status folders properly use the foldersep
960 mechanism. This corrects a problem with Exchange servers.
961 * Wrote a major new thread montiring subsystem, defined a new
962 ExitNotifyThread. Handling of Ctrl-C now occurs within 1 second
963 rather than after the whole program terminates. Exceptions that
964 occur in a thread are now caught by the main thread and marshalled
