dovecot (1:2.0.5-1) experimental; urgency=low
* A lot of settings have changed. Dovecot v2.0 can still use most of
the v1.x configuration files, but it logs a lot of warnings at
startup. A quick and easy way to convert your old config file to
v2.0 format is:
doveconf -n -c dovecot-1.conf > dovecot-2.conf
This command logs a warning about each obsolete setting it
converts to the new format. You can either go through the warnings
to figure out what changes exactly were done, or you can simply
trust doveconf and replace your old config with the newly
generated one.
* Dovecot uses two system users for internal purposes now by
default: "dovenull" and "dovecot". "dovenull" user is used by
completely untrustworthy processes, while "dovecot" user is used
for slightly more trusted processes.
* No more convert plugin, use dsync instead
* No more expire-tool, use doveadm expunge instead. Also expire
configuration is different.
* Post-login scripts are configured differently and need to be modified
* Quota warnings are configured differently and the script may need
to be modified (most environment settings like $USER are gone)
* Global ACL filenames now require namespace prefix (e.g. if you use
"INBOX." prefix, /etc/acls/foo needs to be renamed to
/etc/acls/INBOX.foo
* Maildir: Permissions for newly created mail files are no longer
copied from dovecot-shared file, but instead from the mail
directory (e.g. for "foo" mailbox, they're taken from
~/Maildir/.foo directory)
* dbox: v2.0 format is slightly different, but backwards
compatible. The main problem is that v2.0 no longer supports
maildir-dbox hybrid resulting from "fast Maildir migration". If
you have any Maildir files in your dbox, you need to convert them
somehow (some examples). You might also consider using dsync to
get rid of the old unused metadata in your dbox files.
* Pre-login and post-login CAPABILITY reply is now
different. Dovecot expects clients to recognize new automatically
sent capabilities. This should work with all commonly used
clients, but some rarely used clients might have problems. Either
get the client fixed, or set imap_capability manually.
* ManageSieve protocol was assigned an official port by IANA:
4190. This is used by Pigeonhole by default now. If you want to
listen also on the old 2000 port, see the example in
/usr/share/doc/dovecot-common/wiki/ManageSieve.Configuration.txt.gz
* deliver binary was renamed to dovecot-lda (but a symlink still
exists for now)
* deliver -n parameter was replaced by lda_mailbox_autocreate
setting. The default also changed to "no".
* deliver -s parameter was replaced by lda_mailbox_autosubscribe
setting. The default is "no", as before.

dovecot (1:1.0.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
* mail_extra_groups=mail setting is often used insecurely to give Dovecot
access to create dotlocks to /var/mail directory. The setting has been
replaced by mail_privileged_group and mail_access_groups.

dovecot (1.0.beta3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Starting from this release, dovecot-lda is included in dovecot-common.
The previous executable deliver has been removed from the upstream
source package.
* Other new features recently added include
+ vpopmail support
+ quota support
+ GSSAPI support
* All these new features mean there are some configuration file changes
please review the default /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and merge in any
new bits. (If you don't use any new features, your configuration should
remain compatible.)

dovecot (1.0.alpha4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* This is the 1.0alpha branch. Once again there have been incompatible
changes to the syntax of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.
* The dovecot-common package now includes the zlib plugin for compressed
mboxen. Make sure you have mail_use_modules=yes in imap and/or pop3
section in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf if you want to use this.

dovecot (0.99.20050712-1) unstable; urgency=low
* This is the 1.0stable development branch. There have been major
changes and new features have been added so check your configuration
carefully. In particular, /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf and
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf have been replaced by
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf .
