Binc IMAP 1.1.9 is finally here, after over a full month of
refactoring. I'm releasing it now because I want feedback from many
platforms and not just the ones I control myself. :-)
Please note that since this release represents some major changes, it
is likely that there will be bugs. I have successfully tested Binc
IMAP with these clients, but you can't be too sure:
- Pine 4.44
- KMail 1.5.1 on KDE 3.1.1
- Mozilla 1.2.1 mail
- Squirrelmail 1.4 and 1.2.1 (both work and are fast!)
- Horde 2.0, 2.2.1 / IMP 3.0, 3.2
Tested and compiles on:
- SuSe 8.2 / gcc 3.3
- RedHat 9 / gcc 3.2.2
- RedHat 8.0 / gcc 3.2
- RedHat 7.2 / gcc 2.96
- SunOS 5.8 / gcc 2.95.2
- OpenBSD 3.3 / 2.95.3
Some of the changes worth noticing:
- Internaldate and flags are kept when copying and appending.
- Speed increase of 40% when fetching because of single-pass
parser and fully buffered I/O throughput.
- Initial select (open) of mailbox is slower than before
because all messages must be stat'ed.
- Cache and UIDVALIDITY files' versions have been bumped so
everyone will resync their depositories.
- All known issues with 1.1.8 (syslog, submailboxes) have been
fixed.

with this release.
Good luck!
