I just tried 1.0.3 (at last) and to be honnest I am slightly
disappointed. I found a few behavioral differences:
1) when User was not specified, 0.9.2 used the name of the user
running isync; 1.0.3 fails;
2) when a message is deleted localy, 0.9.2 redownloads it while 1.0.3
deletes it remotely;
3) the MaxMessages option does not work at all.
1) is not much of an issue, since one can easily add a User option to
~/.isyncrc.
2) might be confusing. I guess not that many users delete a message
and expect it to be redownloaded, but those who do would experience data
loss.
3) is a major regression for me, since I have some huge IMAP mailboxes
and use isync to keep a local copy of the latest messages of each
mailbox on my (very space-limited) laptop.
Unless I am missing something, I don't think it would be a good idea to
replace the old isync with the new one. On the other hand, adding a new
package would be an option, but both would have /usr/bin/isync and hence
have to conflict.
Cheers,
Nicolas
