v0.1.5 18-4-2009  Stephan Bosch <stephan@rename-it.nl>
	* Ported the implementation of the Sieve include extension to the latest 
	  draft. This means that the import and export commands are replaced by a new 
	  command called global. The import and export commands are now DEPRICATED and
	  are mere aliases for the global command. The new specification also adds the
	  :once modifier to the include command. The also newly specified global.* 
	  variable namespace is not implemented yet as support for variable namespaces
	  is currently missing.
	* Did a major rework of the multiscript support for better error handling and
	  made sure that persistent global scripts (sieve_before/sieve_after) are
	  always executed, even when the user does not have a script of his own and 
	  a global default is missing. 
	+ Provided basic support for the environment extension. Currenly, the name,
	  version and host items are useful. Others are pending.
	+ Improved error message that is presented when an unknown Sieve extension is
	  provided as argument to the require command. It now notifies the user that
	  Sieve core commands do not need to be specified in require.
	- Fixed bug in includes at levels deeper than one.
	- Fixed bug in address matching that was caused by the failure to handle group 
	  specifications. In dovecot, these are marked by address items with NULL 
	  elements, which causes a segfault if not considered. The group 'undisclosed-
	  recipients:;' in particular triggered this bug. Bug reported by Bernhard
	  Schmidt. 	  

v0.1.4 21-3-2009  Stephan Bosch <stephan@rename-it.nl>
	* Started work on the sieve-filter tool. With this command line tool it will 
	  be possible to (re-)apply Sieve filters on a mail folder. It is currently
	  undocumented and far from functional.
	+ Added a custom debug extension that provides the possibility to print debug 
	  messages from scripts executed by the Sieve tools.

	- Fixed issue with opening relative paths as a mail file. Bug reported by Ian
	  P. Christian.
	- Fixed MAC OSX compile problem. Turns out the extern modifier was missing at
	  multiple places. Bug reported by Edgar Fuss.
	- Fixed Solaris compile problem: removed unecessary and unportable linker
	  flags that caused compile to fail. Bug reported by Andrés Yacopino.

v0.1.3 12-2-2009  Stephan Bosch <stephan@rename-it.nl>
Stephan Bosch's avatar
Stephan Bosch committed

	* Adapted to changes in Dovecot, making this release dependent on Dovecot
	* Made mail address comparison fully case-insensitive. This is particularly
	  noticeable for the :addresses argument of the vacation command. 
	+ Finished enotify extension. Currently, only the mailto notification method
	  is implemented. All still needs to be tested thoroughly.
	+ Implemented multiscript support. It is now possible to execute multiple
	  Sieve scripts sequentially. Administrator-controlled scripts can be
	  executed before and after the user's script. Still needs to be tested
	  thoroughly.
	+ Implemented support for configuring the available Sieve extensions.
	+ Made the subaddress extension (partially) configurable using the
	  sieve_subaddress_sep setting, which allows specifying a (multi-charater)
	  separator other than '+'.
	+ Compiler now warns about invalid header field names used for the header and
	  address tests.
	+ Vacation extension now properly generates a References header for the 
	  response message.
	+ Added testing of basic result execution to the test suite. Also added 
	  supportfor testing the outgoing messages produced by the Sieve interpreter. 
	+ Included execution of the actual result in the sieve-test command line tool.
	  The undocumented sieve-exec tool that existed for this is now removed as 
	  planned.
	+ Added support for the now obsolete 'imapflags' extension for backwards
	  compatibility with CMUSieve. This also implements the mark/unmark commands.
	- Fixed bugs in the regex extension: 1) if an optional match value did not in 
	  fact match, subsequent match values would get unexpected indexes. 2) fixed
	  segfault bug occuring when regex is freed.
	- Fixed bug in the use of the :from agrument for the vacation command. If this
	  address included a phrase part, the response would not be a valid RFC822
	  message.
	- Plugged a theoretical security hole occuring when a directory is opened as a 
	  Sieve binary.
	- Cleaned up and fixed various log messages.
	- Fixed bug in the outgoing address verification. Addresses ending in ',' were 
	  erroneously accepted.
v0.1.2 26-11-2008  Stephan Bosch <stephan@rename-it.nl>

	- Fixed important bug in the redirect action (and probably other actions like
	  reject and vacation that only send messages). This was a bug in the handling
	  of context information during the execution of actions. It caused the sieve 
	  interpreter to crash with a segfault when redirect was executed. 

v0.1.1 24-11-2008  Stephan Bosch <stephan@rename-it.nl>

	* Re-enabled support for compiling against dovecot headers. Much like 
	  cmusieve, command line tools like sievec and sieved are not compiled in this 
	  case.

	* Started implementation of enotify extension. Not anywhere near finished
	  though. 
	* Adapted to changes in Dovecot on various occasions, making this release
	  dependent on Dovecot >= v1.2.alpa4.

	+ Improved logging of errors at specific occasions and added debug messages to
	  find script execution problems quicker. 
	+ Removed code duplication between command line tools and the test suite. 
	  Also restructured the sources of the tools.
	+ Added UTF-8 to UTF-7 folder name conversion for compatibility with IMAP.
	+ Created man pages for the command line tools. These are automatically

	  installed upon 'make install'
	+ Incorporated Valgrind support into the testsuite and fixed a few memory
	  leaks in the process.
	- Fixed compile error surfacing for gcc3.4. Forgot mask argument for the 
	  open() system call when the O_CREAT flag is specified. Bug found by 
	  Sergey Ivanov.
	- Fixed bug in the sievec tool. -d output was always written to stdout.
	- Fixed important bug in the imap4flags extension. When no :flags argument is 
	  specified, the previous version would always use the final value of the
	  internal variable to set the flags. This means that modifications to the 
	  internal variable also affected the bare fileinto/keep actions executed 
	  earlier. This does not comply to the RFC.

	- Fixed bug in the include extension's import/export commands. Duplicate
	  import/exports caused problems.
	- Fixed bug in the handling of non-existent scripts. Errors were sometimes 
	  ignored. 
	- Dovecot omitted unfolding multi-line headers. This was added to the cmusieve
	  plugin after the code was incorporated into the new implementation. This is
	  now mplicitly fixed by concurrent change in Dovecot. 
v0.1.0 23-10-2008  Stephan Bosch <stephan@rename-it.nl>

Stephan Bosch committed
	* Initial release

ManageSieve NEWS history:

Dovecot 1.2:
  
v0.11.4:
	* Adjusted to changes in the Dovecot signal handler API.

v0.11.3:
	* Changed the SASL service name from "managesieve" into "sieve" as required
	  in the protocol specification. Don't forget to adjust your configuration 
	  if your authentication mechanism depends on this service name. 
	* Adapted to changes in Dovecot, making this release dependent on Dovecot
	  >= v1.2.beta1.
	* Adapted to changes in the new Sieve implementation, making this release
	  dependent on Dovecot Sieve >= v0.1.3 if used. The old cmusieve plugin is 
	  still supported. 
	+ Implemented making the SIEVE and NOTIFY capability fully dynamic, meaning 
	  that the sieve_extensions setting that was introduced for the new Sieve 
	  plugin properly affects the ManageSieve daemon as well.
	+ Added support for the CHECKSCRIPT command. In terms of the supported 
	  commands, the ManageSieve daemon now complies with protocol VERSION 1.0 as
	  listed in the CAPABILITY response. 
	- Fixed maximum permissions for uploaded scripts; was 0777. This
	  was shielded however by the default umask (not documented to be 
	  configurable), so the actual permissions would never have been 0777.
	- Fixed a segfault bug in the authentication time-out. Bug report and trace
	  provided by Wolfgang Friebel.
	- Fixed handling of ~/ in use of mail-data for script location.
	- Fixed small problems in the login proxy support.
  
v0.11.2:
	* Adapted to changes in Dovecot, making this release dependent on Dovecot 
	  >= v1.2.alpa4.	

v0.11.1:
	- Fixed security issue that gives virtual users the ability to read and
	  modify each other's scripts if the directory structure of the sieve
	  storage is known.
	* Updated NOOP command to match new protocol specification
	+ Improved error handling and implemented the new response codes: 
	  ACTIVE, NONEXISTENT, ALREADYEXISTS and WARNINGS

v0.11.0:
	* Upgraded to Dovecot v1.2
	* Added support for new ManageSieve extensions RENAME and NOOP
	* Moved sieve settings to plugin {} section of config file. Now the settings
	  `sieve` and `sieve_dir` in the plugin section are used for the Sieve plugin
	  and the ManageSieve service, avoiding the posibility of accidental 
	  differences in configuration.

Dovecot 1.1:

v0.10.3
	* Removed erroneous inline declarations that caused compiler warnings. GCC 4.3
	  turns out to fail entirely as reported by Joel Johnson. 
	* Fixed auto-dectection of Sieve implementation during ./configure. It now 
	  produces a proper error when the directory is invalid.

v0.10.2
	* Fixed bug that caused SASL mechanisms that require more than a single client
	  response to fail. Reported by Steffen Kaiser and occured when he tried using 
	  the (obsolete) LOGIN mechanism.
	* Updated installation and configuration documentation to match the 
	  information provided in the wiki

v0.10.1
	* Fixed bug introduced in v0.10.0: compiled scripts were also written to disk
	  in the sieve/tmp directory and left there. This accumulates much .sievec 
	  junk in that directory over time. 
	* Fixed bug in tmp file generation for sieve-storage: errors other than EEXIST
	  would cause the daemon to sleep() loop indefinitely. 
	  
	+ Improved log lines to be more recognizable as being generated from 
	  managesieve.
	+ Added short proxy configuration explanation to the README file
	+ Added 'Known Issues' section to the README file
	- Fixed assert bug in sieve-storage occuring when save is canceled.
  
v0.10.0
	* Upgraded to Dovecot 1.1:
		- The actual managesieve implementation is now a separate package. 
		  The dovecot tree still needs to be patched though to make dovecot 
		  recognize the new managesieve service.
		- Incorporated changes to imap/imap-login into the equivalent 
		  managesieve processes.
		- Removed cmusieve implementation from managesieve sources. It is 
		  now linked externally from the dovecot-sieve-1.1 package. 
		- Restructured README.managesieve file into separate README, NEWS, 
		  TODO, DESIGN and INSTALL files. 
	* Added support for new libsieve implementation (to be released). This 
	  package can be compiled with either the new or the old Sieve
	  implementation (autodetected). If the new Sieve becomes stable, this 
	  package will be merged with it to make a single package for Dovecot 
	  Sieve support.
   
Dovecot 1.0:

(development forked, v9 is still maintained for Dovecot v1.0)

v9

+ Definitively fixed the segfault mentioned in V8. It proved to be 
  very time-constrained and thus hard to reproduce. The error turned out
  to be related to the input handling of the login daemon during 
  authentication. 
+ Checked for changes in the imap daemon that weren't propagated to the 
  managesieve implementation due to code duplication.
+ Fixed a bug in the autodetection of the sieve storage location.
+ Fixed bug in the sieve storage that failed to refresh the symlink if
  the storage was moved. 
+ Improved error handing in the sieve-storage implementation in various 
  places. 
+ Fixed the situation in which the active script link is located in the 
  sieve storage. 
+ Added managesieve configuration to dovecot-example.conf and made the example
  in this file more concise. 

v8

+ Fixed a few incompatibilities with 1.0.7 version. For instance, the "Logged
  in" message is now sent by the -login process and not by the managesieve 
  daemon anymore. This caused a segfault every once in a while. 
+ Probably fixed the settings problem reported by Steffen Kaiser regarding 
  login_dir. 'dovecot -n' now reports correct results, but testing will show
  whether the whole problem is solved.
+ The managesieve daemon now accepts the sieve_storage and sieve configuration
  settings, so it is now possible to explicitly configure the location of the
  sieve storage and the active script respectively. The daemon still falls back
  to using the mail_location (MAIL) settings if nothing else is specified. 
+ The cyrus timsieved does not use the + character in string literals and many
  clients have adopted to this behaviour. The latest managesieve (08) advises to
  accept a missing + from clients. The server should not send any + characters 
  as well. This behavior is now implemented on the server. 
+ Cleaned up sieve-storage.c: split up the sieve_storage_create function in 
  various sub-functions for obtaining the various paths and directories.
+ Forced manual intervention if rescueing a non-symlink file at the active script
  path fails somehow. Previously, this presented the admin with a log message 
  that it had just eaten the script, which is not very nice. 
+ Restructured the README.managesieve file and added some more explanation with
  regard to the configuration of the daemon.

v7 

- Robin Breathe indicated that the regex capability was missing in the server's
  SIEVE listing. It turns out I forgot to make arrangements for setting 
  ENABLE_REGEX in the cmu libsieve sources, so the regex extension was not
  compiled in. I copied the configure.in section regarding ENABLE_REGEX from 
  dovecot-sieve-1.0.2 and that fixed the problem.

v6

- Corked the client output stream while producing the capability greeting and on 
  other some other occasions as well. Some naive client implementations expect to 
  receive this as a single tcp frame and it is a good practice to do so anyway.
  Using this change the Thunderbird sieve extension (v0.1.1) seemed to work. However,
  scripts larger than a tcp frame still caused failures. All these issues are fixed
  in the latest version of the sieve add-on (currently v0.1.4). 
- Cleaned up the new proxy source. My editor made the indentation a complete mess
  in terms of TABs vs spaces. 
- Added TRYLATER response codes to BYE and NO messages where appropriate.  
- Recopied the libsieve library into this patch to incorporate any changes that were
  made (only sieve-cmu.c still needs to be compared to the old cmu-sieve.c). This 
  also solves the __attribute__((unused)) GCC dependencies. These were fixed long
  ago by Timo....  the code duplication beast strikes again. 
- Removed spurious return value from void function in 
  src/lib-sieve/sieve-implementation.c as reported by Robin Breathe. GCC fails to
  report these issues. The function involved is currently not used and serves only
  as an example on how dovecot could support multiple sieve backends... 

v5 

- Applied patch by Uldis Pakuls to fix master_dump_settings bug
- Added some compilation/installation info to this README
- Moved README to source tree root as README.managesieve
- Fixed minor error handling bug in sieve_storage.c with respect to a missing
  root directory.
- Now sieve capabilities are reported as they are specified by the implementing
  library and not in forced upper case. The sieve RFC now explicitly states
  that sieve capability identifiers are case-sensitive. This broke compatibility
  with SquirrelMail/Avelsieve. 
- Disabled ANONYMOUS login entirely until proper support is implemented. V4
  claimed to do so as well, but in fact it only stopped announcing it.
- Implemented managesieve-proxy. It is not so much a clean copy of imap-proxy,
  since the managesieve greeting is much more complex and requires parsing. 
  Configuration is identical to imap-proxy. This seems to be a little under-
  documented however (http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields).  

v4

- Added managesieve_implementation_string setting to the managesieve 
  configuration. This can be used to customize the default "IMPLEMENTATION" 
  capability response.
- Denied ANONYMOUS login until proper support is implemented
- Fixed problem with authenticate command regarding continued responses. In
  V3 only initial response would work. Problem was caused by rc2 -> rc28 
  upgrade. One of the clear reasons why code duplication is a very bad idea.
- Fixed readlink bug as indicated by Timo: return value of readlink can also
  be -1.
- Fixed bug in the regular file rescue code, as introduced in the previous 
  version. Used stat instead of lstat. This caused the symlink to be rescued 
  subsequently in the next activation, thus still overwriting the initially 
  rescued script.

v3

- Updated source to compile with dovecot 1.0.rc27 
- Daemon now uses the same location for .dovecot.sieve as dovecot-lda
  This is typically ~/.dovecot.sieve
- If .dovecot.sieve is a regular file, it is now moved into the script storage as
  dovecot.orig.sieve, preventing deletion of (important) active scripts 
  upon upgrade.
- Changed error handling to yield a BYE message when the managesieve 
  daemon exits unexpectedly (upon login) before any commands are entered. 
  Horde-ingo would wait indefinitely for a response. 

v2

- Fixed the bug (missing CRLF) in the authenticate command
- Modified the sieve storage library making the interface much less crude.
- The scripts put on the server using the putscript command are now 
  checked before they are accepted.
- The reported SIEVE capability is now directly read from the sieve 
  implementation (in this case cmu), listing much more than "FILEINTO 
  VACATION".
- Imported instance of libsieve source into this patch for implementation
  of script checking and capability listing. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED! 
- Fixed some minor bugs in the putscript command
