isync/NEWS

[1.0.0]

Essentially a rewrite. Synchronization state storage concept, configuration
and command line changed entirely.
But you needn't to worry about the upgrade, as a fully automated migration
path is provided, even for users of isync 0.7 and below.
Still, you should re-read the manual to be able to take full advantage of the
new features:

The supported mailbox types can be freely paired.
A possible application of this is using a local IMAP server to access
mailboxes that are not natively supported yet.

Message deletions (expunges) are now propagated both ways, so there is no need
for using mutt with maildir_trash any more.

Additional trash options added.

`OneToOne' replaced by something more flexible.

Partial support for IMAP pipelining (streaming, parallelization) added.
Makes flag change propagation much faster - this affects every message that
becomes Seen/Read.

[0.9]

Added Tunnel directive to allow the user to specify a shell command to run
to set up an IMAP connection in place of a TCP socket (eg., to run over
an SSH session).

Added PREAUTH support (useful mostly in conjunction with Tunnel).

Messages marked deleted are not uploaded when we are going to expunge.

Locally generated messages are not re-fetched after uploading even if the
UIDPLUS extension is not supported by the server.

Added `OneToOne' configuration option: ignore any Mailbox specifications
and instead pick up all mailboxes from the local MailDir and remote Folder
and map them 1:1 onto each other according to their names.

-C now creates both local and remote boxes; -L and -R create only local/remote.

--quiet is now really quiet.

[0.8]

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

In order to fix the problem where messages copied from one mailbox to
another were not uploaded to the new mailbox, the way Isync stores the UID
for each message needed to be changed.  As a result, you _MUST_ delete all
the messages in the local maildir box before using this version.  Otherwise
it will upload every message to the server thinking its a new mail.

[0.7]

Added `MaxMessages' configuration option to allow tracking of only the most
recently added message in the local mailbox.

Added --create (-C) command line option to force creation of the local
maildir-style mailbox if it doesn't already exist.

[0.6]

Added `Delete' configuration option to correspond to the -d command line
option.

Added -a (--all) command line option to synchronize all mailboxes.

[0.5]

Updated SSL support.

Added CRAM authentication support.

Added MailDir configuration option to specify the default location of local
mailboxes when relative paths are used.

Added support for uploading local messages to the IMAP server.

Added CopyDeletedTo configuration option to cause isync to move deleted
messages to a particular mailbox on the server when they are expunged.

[0.4]

Added MaxSize configuration option to limit downloading of new messages from
the server to less than some threshold.

More robust --fast option works without using \Recent flags, so the previous
problem with multiple accesses killing these flags is no longer a problem.

RFC2060 obsoleted RFC822.PEEK, use BODY.PEEK[] instead which does the same
job.

Don't need to request UID in a FETCH when doing UID FETCH (RFC2060 states
that its automatically returned).

[0.3]

Fixed to clean up temp maildir files when the fetch of a new message failed.

Fixed to not assume order of the flags returned by "UID FETCH"

Added support for building RPMs.

[0.2]

SSL support added.

[0.1]

Initial release.
The Big Rewrite. too many change to list them all. as opposed to earlier threats, BerkDB was not entirely dropped; i suppose the isync 0.7 -> 0.8 change had a reason, so i added an alternative UID storage scheme. note that BDB 4.0 is not sufficient, as the db->open function changed in an incompatible way ... i updated the debian packaging except for a changelog entry. note that i removed the upgrade blurb, as upstream now has a smooth upgrade path down to at least isync 0.4. 2004-03-27 16:07:20 +00:00			`[1.0.0]`

updated year in copyright notice the uid for each message in the maildir is now stored in a dbm database rather than the filename. this change was necessary because isync became confused if you copied a message to another folder, in which case the uid was invalid. as a result of the above change, isync now acquires a mutex on the mailbox to protect the dbm database from concurrent access. main() was reworked to continue gracefully when an error is encountered, and to always call maildir_close() so that the lock can be disabled, and the database closed. 2002-01-16 19:47:28 +00:00			`[0.8]`

Added MaxMessages patch from Eivind Eklund <eivind@FreeBSD.org>. config_defaults() can just use memcpy() instead of assigning each struct member individually. config_defaults() can be declared static 2001-11-15 23:59:27 +00:00			`[0.7]`

			Added `MaxMessages' configuration option to allow tracking of only the most

added --create/-C command line option to force creation of the local maildir-style mailbox if nonexistent debug.h was not included in isync_SOURCES in Makefile.am 2001-11-20 18:06:09 +00:00			`Added --create (-C) command line option to force creation of the local`

added `Delete' configuration option to force -d option sync_mailbox() didn't consider MaxSize == 0 to mean "unlimited". load_config() needs to print a newline in its error messages since next_arg() kills the newline of the line that was read out of the config file. 2001-10-03 05:42:22 +00:00			`[0.6]`
