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

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

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

453 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
454 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
455 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
457 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
458 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
459 algorithms, as described below.
460 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
461 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
462 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
463 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
464 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
466 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
467 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
468 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
469 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
470 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
471 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
472 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
473 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
474 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
475 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
476 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
477 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

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

520 * Fixed setup.py installation instructions.
521 * Added more debugging to the CRAM-MD5 authentication module.
522 * CRAM-MD5 *really* fixed this time. Thanks to MJ for the patch.
523 * Adding missing import os to imapserver.py. Thanks to John Wiegley

528 offlineimap (3.99.3) unstable; urgency=low
530 * Moved password promting into imapserver.py. Passwords are now asked
531 for on-demand and typos will no longer crash the program (the user
532 will be re-prompted). Closes: #162672.
533 * Falls back to plain-text auth if CRAM-MD5 fails. Fixes [complete.org #42]
534 * Fixed CRAM-MD5 auth so it actually works now.

538 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
540 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
541 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
542 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
543 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
544 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
545 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
546 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
547 Debian, Closes: #154165.
548 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
549 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
550 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
551 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
552 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

563 offlineimap (3.99.0) unstable; urgency=low
565 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
566 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
567 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
568 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
569 specified folders from the mbnames output.
570 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
571 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
572 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
573 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
574 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
575 easier, including debugging.
576 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
578 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
580 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
581 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
582 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
583 performs different functions.
584 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to
585 offlineimap/threadutil.py.
586 * offlineimap.py is back to ease the use of OfflineIMAP in single-user

602 * Made sure executables use /usr/bin/env in bangpath.
603 * Font size for Blinkenlights interface is now configurable.

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

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

635 server's LIST response. Fixes [complete.org #32] and, for Debian,

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

666 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
668 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
669 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
670 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
671 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
672 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
674 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
675 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
676 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
677 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
678 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
679 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
681 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
683 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
684 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
685 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.
686 * Fix reading the ui.Tk.Blinkenlights bufferlines option.

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

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

718 the message is stored weirdly. That way, everything is uniform.
719 Fixes [complete.org #11].
720 * Manual: added UW IMAPD example with references from docwhat@gerf.org.

722 Fixes [complete.org #14].
723 * Added per-thread profiling support to aid in debugging.

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

743 * Fixed remotepassfile option. Closes: #153119. Used 1-line patch from
745 * Now handles cases of not being able to get UID for an uploaded message
746 more gracefully. This could occur if the server doesn't support
747 SEARCH, can't find the message ID, or finds multiple message IDs.
749 * Now source is in Subversion. Make version.py log the Subversion

754 offlineimap (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
756 * Detabified the source.
757 * Added UI list to the manpage.
758 * Added -o (run only once) option with patch sent in by Martijn Pieters.
759 * Optimized folder/IMAP.py addmessagesflags() with new listjoin() in
760 imaputil. Now, send the server 1:5,7 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,7.
761 * Made folder/Maildir.py/deletemessage() more tolerant if a message
762 asked to be deleted already has been.
763 * In Base.py/copymessageto(), no longer bother calling getmessage()
764 unless a folder's storemessages() returns true. This will also help
765 with syncing to LocalStatus if the user deleted messages in the
766 Maildir since the cachemessagelist() was called.

770 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
772 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
773 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
774 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
775 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
776 debugging and status messages.
777 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
778 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
779 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
780 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
781 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
782 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
783 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
784 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
785 * New command-line options:
786 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
787 -u to force a particular UI
788 -a to specify which accounts to sync
790 -c to specify an alternate config file
791 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
792 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
793 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
794 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
795 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

800 offlineimap (2.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
802 * Modified the IMAP folder to use SELECT rather than STATUS more often.
803 Makes the code more robust; handles better with read-only folders;
804 and runs faster, especially for non-threaded useres, where it
805 may eliminate up to 2-3 commands per folder.
806 * Made sure IMAP folder savemessage() does a select. This was a possible
808 * Modified Maildir folder to unlink messages with T flag in
810 * My own box now syncs in 3 seconds.
811 * Optimized acquireconnection() to try to give a thread back the
812 connection that it last used, if possible.

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

865 offlineimap (2.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
867 * Fixed a bug with not properly propogating foldersep changes.
868 Now, local folders and status folders properly use the foldersep
869 mechanism. This corrects a problem with Exchange servers.
870 * Wrote a major new thread montiring subsystem, defined a new
871 ExitNotifyThread. Handling of Ctrl-C now occurs within 1 second
872 rather than after the whole program terminates. Exceptions that
873 occur in a thread are now caught by the main thread and marshalled
874 over into the UI side of things for dispatch. The entire program will
875 now abort when one thread dies with an exception.

883 * Fixed the STATUS call to be compatible with Exchange.
884 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
885 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the
886 general section and maxconnections to each account sections.
887 There is also a new folderfilter option.
888 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
889 example file packaged with the distribution.
