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

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

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

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

485 * This a 4.0 TRACK release, and may be unstable or in flux!
486 * Completed work to make both graphical interfaces work
487 with a threaded Tcl/Tk Tkinter. A threaded Tcl/Tk actually makes
488 life MORE difficult for multi-threaded Python programs, argh.
489 * Now properly handles folder names that contain parenthesis. Used
490 patch from Kyler Laird in
491 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173895.
493 * Changed to a more account-centric behavior. The refresh time is now
494 a per-account variable. Implemented new account classes. User
495 interfaces must now be updated to take advantage of this.
496 *** NOTE *** THIS CHANGE BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS.
497 * New color console interface: Curses.Blinkenlights! Try it out!
499 * Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
500 password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
501 cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed. (Sleep will
502 still work; there is just no way to cancel it early.)
504 However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
505 Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
506 TTY.TTYUI ever could have.
507 * Provided config file default for many more options. Closes: #168219.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

636 that do not actually contain messages and are not provided in the
637 server's LIST response. Fixes [complete.org #32] and, for Debian,

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

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

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

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

720 the message is stored weirdly. That way, everything is uniform.
721 Fixes [complete.org #11].
722 * Manual: added UW IMAPD example with references from docwhat@gerf.org.
723 * New UI modules: Noninteractive.Basic and Noninteractive.Quiet.
724 Fixes [complete.org #14].
725 * Added per-thread profiling support to aid in debugging.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

886 * Added the ability to exclude folders.
887 * If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add maxsyncaccounts to the
888 general section and maxconnections to each account sections.
889 There is also a new folderfilter option.
890 You can find examples of all of these in the new offlineimap.conf
