27 * This is a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
28 * Converted entire manual to DocBook SGML so it will be easier to
29 expand in the future. The HTML manual, also, looks far nicer now
31 * Fixed the Tk.VerboseUI -- small, silly error introduced in 3.99.6.
32 * Multiple performance and reliability enhancements to syncing
33 algorithms, as described below.
34 * The process of uploading new messages from local folders to the IMAP
35 server was not internally multi-threaded previously. Now it is.
36 This means that if you have a single folder with lots of new messages
37 locally, the processing time should be dramatically sped up. Moreover,
38 the process should be more reliable because we do not risk connections
40 * The process of synchronizing flags has been overhauled and optimized.
41 Previously, for each message where a flag (seen, replied, etc.) was
42 changed, we'd issue a separate command to the IMAP server to adjust
43 things. Now, we issue one command for each flag. In other words,
44 instead of seing 45 messages saying something like "Adding flag S to
45 message 1421", you now see one message saying "Adding flag S to 45
46 messages" -- and the interaction with the IMAP server may well be
47 almost 45 times faster on this. We will now issue at most four
48 commands per flag operation (add or remove) per folder, where before,
49 we may have issued as many as two per message. Should be a
50 large speedup in most cases, but a small slowdown in a few.
51 * Potentially increased the reliability of writing files to the Maildir.

55 offlineimap (3.99.6) unstable; urgency=low
57 * This a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
58 * Completed work to make both graphical interfaces work
59 with a threaded Tcl/Tk Tkinter. A threaded Tcl/Tk actually makes
60 life MORE difficult for multi-threaded Python programs, argh.
61 * Now properly handles folder names that contain parenthesis. Used
62 patch from Kyler Laird in
63 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173895.
65 * Changed to a more account-centric behavior. The refresh time is now
66 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
67 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
68 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
69 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
71 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
72 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
73 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
74 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
76 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
77 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
78 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.
79 * Provided config file default for many more options. Closes: #168219.
80 * New example file offlineimap.conf.minimal showing you how to get started
81 fast. It uses only 6 lines to set up an account.

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

112 offlineimap (3.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
114 * Further attempts to fix imapsplit problems.
115 * When an exception occurs, OfflineIMAP will attempt to print the last
116 50 debug messages, whether or not debugging was enabled for this
117 session. This way, even unexpected and non-repeatable errors stand
118 a chance of getting a more detailed log.
119 * Handle uidvalidity file in an atomic fashion. CLoses: #165600.
120 * Supports CRAM-MD5 authentication. Fixes [complete.org #38], and for
121 Debian, Closes: #154165.
122 * Noted CRAM-MD5 support in the "CONFORMING TO" section of the manual.
123 * Certain servers may not always return the UID flag for new messages.
124 This causes an OfflineIMAP exception, though rerunning will fix it.
125 Now, OfflineIMAP will detect the condition and ignore the offending
126 messages (without an exception) until the next sync.

139 * The next few releases are adding features and reorganizing
140 code in preparation for 4.0.0.
141 * imaputil.py now logs information with IMAP debugging is enabled.
142 * Added folderfilter capability to mbnames recorder. You can now omit
143 specified folders from the mbnames output.
144 * Added a workaround to imaputil.py to deal with a bug in imaplib.py's
145 tuple when a response contains a literal in certain cases.
146 * Split out the code in bin/offlineimap into offlineimap/init.py.
147 Retaining bin/offlineimap as a skeletal piece only. Contains
148 about three lines of code now. This will make many things
149 easier, including debugging.
150 * Added library version check to bin/offlineimap and
152 * Moved __main__.ui to functions in UIBase: getglobalui() and
154 * Added license comments to some source files that were missing them.
155 * Moved some code from offlineimap/init.py to new file
156 offlineimap/syncmaster.py to help dileneate between code that
157 performs different functions.
158 * Moved threadexited from offlineimap/init.py to

223 * Updated manual to show new Gray color.
224 * Scrolling behavior is better now; sometimes, with fast-scrolling text,
225 the log would stop scrolling.
226 * Better handling of read-only folders. We will now warn if there is
227 a change, but not propogate it. New config variable ignore-readonly
228 can suppress the warnings. This fixes [complete.org #10] and,
229 for Debian, Closes: #154769.
230 * If a given Maildir folder is new, remove the associated local status
231 cache file, if any. That way, there will not be any chance of
232 propogating hordes of deletes and adds based on old status data.
233 * Added support for /-separated Maildirs -- that is, hierarchical
234 Maildir trees. Fixes [complete.org #28] and, for Debian,
236 * Preventitive security: Folder names may not contain ./ or start with /.

240 offlineimap (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
242 * There is a new "connecting" event that will appear in all but the
243 Quiet UIs. It has a gray color in Blinkenlights. This event indicates
244 the the program is connecting to a remote server.
245 * Blinkenlights UI log window is now scrolled and has a new
246 config file option "bufferlines" to specify the size of the scroll
248 * The Blinkenlights window is now non-resizable when the log is disabled.
249 When the log is enabled, the window is resizable, and the changes in
250 size are reflected in the log widget. Therefore, the Bigger Log
251 and Smaller Log items can disappear, and the Log menu now becomes
252 a Show Log or a Hide Log menu option. No sub-menus necessary anymore.
253 This presents a much cleaner feel, more intuitive operation, and
255 * Fix for account name interpolation in dot warning from 3.2.0 from
257 * Backed out check for . in account names for now. Will put it back in
258 when we have a consensus on what exactly to do. Doubt that anyone
259 has a foldername that would conflict with Blinkenlights anyway.
260 * Fix reading the ui.Tk.Blinkenlights bufferlines option.

274 offlineimap (3.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
276 * Modified imaputil.py and folder/Maildir.py to run faster. Eliminated
277 many regular expressions; pre-compiled many others.
278 * Fixed threadutil's exitnotifyloop to always handle threads in the order
279 they exited, rather than sometimes in the inverse order. This way,
280 make sure to handle thread's exception messages before a thread exited.
281 * Replaced imaplib.py's braindead readline() with a more efficient one.
282 * More optimizations to imaputil and folders for faster operation.
283 * These optimizations, all together, have resulted in OfflineIMAP
284 using approximately half the CPU time of previous versions, fixing

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

330 * Detabified the source.

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

344 offlineimap (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
346 * Introduced a new graphical user interface written with Tkinter.
347 It features a nice view of multi-threaded displays.
348 * The TTY user interface now also displays thread names.
349 * Program-wide, new threads are given descriptive names to aid in
350 debugging and status messages.
351 * Added new module offlineimap/ui/detect.py that is used to detect
352 which user interface to select for a given session. Its operation
353 is governed by the ui config option and the -u command-line option.
354 * Made IMAP folder addmessagesflags() resiliant to a server refusing
355 to return a full set of new message flags. Closes: #152587.
356 * Completely rewrote documentation. OfflineIMAP now has an
357 exhaustive manpage, which is really a manual. It is also shipped
358 in plain text, HTML, PDF, and PostScript formats.
359 * New command-line options:
360 -1 to force no multi-threaded operation
361 -u to force a particular UI
362 -a to specify which accounts to sync
364 -c to specify an alternate config file
365 * Added a workaround for UW IMAP problem wherein the server loses
366 uidvalidity whenever a folder is emptied. Now, the program
367 will not consider it a problem if uidvalidity is lost when a folder
368 and the local status cache are both completely empty, since we do
369 not really need to preserve uidvalidity in that case anyway.

401 * Another try at read-only folder support. This is nasty because I
402 have no way to test it and imaplib's read-only support is weird.
403 * Closing out old bug; fixed in 1.0.2. Closes: #150803.

444 * Wrote a major new thread montiring subsystem, defined a new
445 ExitNotifyThread. Handling of Ctrl-C now occurs within 1 second
446 rather than after the whole program terminates. Exceptions that
447 occur in a thread are now caught by the main thread and marshalled
