288 + Condition 2 involved the call to gettimeseq(). Since the timeseq is
289 based on the system clock, we now use the time as reported inside
290 timeseq() rather than outside. This way, we can be assured that the
291 same value is in use both places.

368 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
369 * Big news: OfflineIMAP can now sync two remote IMAP servers to each
370 other, with no need to write a Maildir at all.
371 * WARNING: the format of the configuration file *AND* the local
372 status area changes with this release!
373 * Major reworking of internal management of accounts. Previously, the
374 account defined a local Maildir and a remote IMAP server. Now, the
375 account is simply a connection between two repositories. For
376 traditional ones, an account basically specifies a refresh interval,
377 a Maildir repository, and an IMAP repository.
378 * Added a notion of a repository to the configuration file. Repositories
379 currently available are IMAP and Maildir. Combined with the new account
380 system, this lets the user define powerful combinations without
381 duplicating information.
382 * When uploading messages to an IMAP server, OfflineIMAP generates its
383 own X-OfflineIMAP header rather than trying to guess the new message UID
384 based on the Message-Id header. This leads to greater reliability when
385 uploading messages, especially when dealing with duplicate messages.
386 This change was required to permit reliable IMAP-to-IMAP syncing, but
387 helps with regular IMAP-to-Maildir syncing as well.
388 * Local status area under ~/.offlineimap revamped. It now contains
389 separate subdirectories for each account and repository, and they
390 contain UID validity information, UID mapping (for IMAP-to-IMAP
391 syncing). UID validity information is no longer stored in the Maildir
393 * New debug type: "thread" to debug multithreading.
394 * preauth tunnels no longer require remoteuser, remotepass, host,
395 or port in the configuration file.
396 * Logging for preauth tunnels is more sensible.
397 * Fixed a logic error for syncs with a reference that returns no folders.

434 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
435 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
437 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
438 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
439 algorithms, as described below.
440 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
441 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
442 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
443 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
444 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
446 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
447 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
448 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
449 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
450 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
451 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
452 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
453 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
454 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
455 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
456 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
457 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

463 * This a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
464 * Completed work to make both graphical interfaces work
465 with a threaded Tcl/Tk Tkinter. A threaded Tcl/Tk actually makes
466 life MORE difficult for multi-threaded Python programs, argh.
467 * Now properly handles folder names that contain parenthesis. Used
468 patch from Kyler Laird in
469 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173895.
471 * Changed to a more account-centric behavior. The refresh time is now
472 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
473 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
474 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
475 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
477 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
478 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
479 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
480 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
482 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
483 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
484 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.

513 * Falls back to plain-text auth if CRAM-MD5 fails. Fixes [complete.org #42]
514 * Fixed CRAM-MD5 auth so it actually works now.

518 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
520 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
521 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
522 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
523 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
524 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
525 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
526 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
527 Debian, Closes: #154165.
528 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
529 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
530 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
531 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
532 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

543 offlineimap (3.99.0) unstable; urgency=low
545 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
546 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
547 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
548 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
549 specified folders from the mbnames output.
550 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
551 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
552 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
553 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
554 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
555 easier, including debugging.
556 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
558 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
560 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
561 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
562 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
563 performs different functions.
564 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to
565 offlineimap/threadutil.py.
566 * offlineimap.py is back to ease the use of OfflineIMAP in single-user

583 * Font size for Blinkenlights interface is now configurable.

590 * Removed calls to folder object deletions. None have been implemented
592 * folder/Maildir.py: unlink throws OSError, not IOError; fixed.
593 Now handles message deleting race condition properly.

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

612 * When using nested folders, the Maildir repository handler now properly
613 deals with folders that are nested inside "noselect" folders -- ones
614 that do not actually contain messages and are not provided in the
615 server's LIST response. Fixes [complete.org #32] and, for Debian,

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

646 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
648 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
649 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
650 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
651 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
652 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
654 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
655 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
656 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
657 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
658 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
659 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
661 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
663 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
664 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
665 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.
666 * Fix reading the ui.Tk.Blinkenlights bufferlines option.

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

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

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

712 * No longer doubles-up reference names for mailboxes. Closes: #153515.
713 * Noted new bug-tracking system in manual and rebuilt manual files.

725 * Now handles cases of not being able to get UID for an uploaded message
726 more gracefully. This could occur if the server doesn't support
727 SEARCH, can't find the message ID, or finds multiple message IDs.
729 * Now source is in Subversion. Make version.py log the Subversion

734 offlineimap (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
736 * Detabified the source.
737 * Added UI list to the manpage.
738 * Added -o (run only once) option with patch sent in by Martijn Pieters.
739 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
740 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
741 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
742 asked to be deleted already has been.
743 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
744 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
745 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
746 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

750 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
752 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
753 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
754 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
755 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
756 debugging and status messages.
757 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
758 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
759 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
760 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
761 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
762 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
763 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
764 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
765 * New command-line options:
766 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
767 -u to force a particular UI
768 -a to specify which accounts to sync
770 -c to specify an alternate config file
771 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
772 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
773 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
774 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
775 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

783 Makes the code more robust; handles better with read-only folders;
784 and runs faster, especially for non-threaded useres, where it
785 may eliminate up to 2-3 commands per folder.
786 * Made sure IMAP folder savemessage() does a select. This was a possible
788 * Modified Maildir folder to unlink messages with T flag in
790 * My own box now syncs in 3 seconds.
791 * Optimized acquireconnection() to try to give a thread back the
792 connection that it last used, if possible.

802 offlineimap (2.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
804 * Added support for holdconnectionopen and keepalive. This feature
805 allows for an IMAP server connection(s) to be held open until
806 the next sync process, permitting faster restart times.
807 * Another try at read-only folder support. This is nasty because I
808 have no way to test it and imaplib's read-only support is weird.
809 * Closing out old bug; fixed in 1.0.2. Closes: #150803.
810 * Optimized algorithm so that a SELECT is never issued for folders
811 that contain no messages.

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

863 * Fixed the STATUS call to be compatible with Exchange.
864 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
865 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the
866 general section and maxconnections to each account sections.
867 There is also a new folderfilter option.
868 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
869 example file packaged with the distribution.
