-This is the third release on our way to a new stable series.
|
|
|
|
-On our way to, that is, this is a development release, which is not
|
|
|
|
-intended for production servers. We feel that releasing development
|
|
|
|
-versions will help us making the to-be stable release more stable, and
|
|
|
|
-restricting the ability to test no longer to people who use CVS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+This is the first Release Candidate (RC) for the 1.4.x stable series.
|
|
|
|
+Please note that this release is not yet labeled STABLE officially.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+However, we've been running this on a number of systems and a variety
|
|
|
|
+of configs and we think it's worthy of the "stable"-title. Before we
|
|
|
|
+can call it stable we want to test it on as many systems as possible
|
|
|
|
+to iron out the last issues.
|
|
|
|
|

-this release is not for you. In that case, download the stable version
|
|
|
|
-and enjoy that one.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-In general, we are planning to regularly release a 1.3.x version until
|
|
|
|
-it is stable enough to call her 1.4 or 2.0. While I'm at it, one
|
|
|
|
-comment on version numbers. Our version numbers take the form of A.B.C
|
|
|
|
- A increases with time, but only very seldomly.
|
|
|
|
- B if it is even (0, 2, 4 etc), it is a stable release
|
|
|
|
- if it is odd (1, 3, 5 etc), it is a development release
|
|
|
|
- C indicates small changes.
|
|
|
|
-Which is to say our version numbering system is the same as that of
|
|
|
|
-the linux kernel. So 1.2.9 is a stable version, and 1.3.2 (this one)
|
|
|
|
-is a development release.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-We are excited to bring you the fruits of a very good development
|
|
|
|
-series. Major rewrites of the back-end and the user interface have
|
|
|
|
-been happening since the 1.2 series.

-To summarize the major updates in the 1.3.2 release:
|
|
|
|
-* The support of register globals = off
|
|
|
|
-* A complete rewrite of the way we send mail (Deliver-class)
|
|
|
|
-* Lot's of bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+The 1.4.0 series (as a result of 1.3 devel series) brings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+* A complete rewrite of the way we send mail (Deliver-class),
|
|
|
|
+ and of the way we parse mail (MIME-bodystructure parsing).
|
|
|
|
+ This makes SquirrelMail more reliable and more efficient
|
|
|
|
+ at the same time!
|
|
|
|
+* Support for IMAP UID which makes SquirrelMail more reliable.
|
|
|
|
+* Optimizations to code and the number of IMAP calls.
|
|
|
|
+* Support for a wider range of authentication mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
+* Lots of bugfixes and a couple of UI-tweaks.

-A note on solved bugs
|
|
|
|
-=====================
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
-After the release of 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 we received lots of usefull bug-reports.
|
|
|
|
-At this moment we can say that most issues are solved.
|
|
|
|
-One of the biggest bug reporter was Cor Bosman from the dutch ISP XS4ALL.
|
|
|
|
-They scheduled the use of SquirrelMail 1.3.2 because of it's UID support.
|
|
|
|
-At this moment they are switched over to 1.3.2 CVS and it's running fine on
|
|
|
|
-the production servers. The imap-server load was dropped significantly and
|
|
|
|
-that's exactly what we tried to establish in the DEVEL branche.

|
|
|
|
-=========================
|
|
|
|
-With the release of 1.3.2 we can say we realy cracked some nuts regarding
|
|
|
|
-hard to solve issues.
|
|
|
|
-Future devel versions will continue carrying "Nut" releasenames
|
|
|
|
-to keep the squirrel satisfied. Since winter is coming we better hurry up
|
|
|
|
-with new "Nut" releases. We don't want a death squirrel due to starvation.
|
|
|
|
-So next time you see a squirrel feed him nuts, think about SquirrelMail and
|
|
|
|
-a new friendship is born.
