OfflineIMAP 2.0.8 Released

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since version 2.0.0, the changes include thread monitoring for better
cleanup, support for Exchange IMAP servers, support for preauth tunnels and
references, new config options, support for read-only folders, and a host of
speed improvements and bugfixes.  My own setup with several dozen folders
now syncs in 3 seconds.

The complete changes since the last announcement follow:

offlineimap (2.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

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

offlineimap (2.0.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed imaplib.py to work better with read-only folders.

offlineimap (2.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

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

offlineimap (2.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a folderfilter example.  Partially fixes #152079.
  * Added folderincludes capability.  Partially fixes #152079.
  * More fixes for read-only folders.

offlineimap (2.0.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Made OfflineIMAP at least rudimentarily compatible with read-only
    folders.  It will still fail if they get modified locally, though.
  * Flags are handled case-insensitively.  Closes: #151993.

 -- John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>  Fri,  5 Jul 2002 09:10:29 -0500

offlineimap (2.0.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added support for specifying references.  Closes: #151960.
  * Added -d command-line option to enable imaplib debugging.

 -- John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>  Thu,  4 Jul 2002 20:39:29 -0500

offlineimap (2.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added support for remotepassfile.  Closes: #151943.
  * Added support for preauth tunnels.

offlineimap (2.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

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