I just put together a second release candidate for Cyrus 2.3.13.  I'd
appreciate any independent testing before I release this to the masses.

Noteworthy changes:

* Added an experimental "sql" backend for cyrusdb.  Currently MySQL,
   PostgreSQL, and SQLite are supported.
* Added support for IMAP [CAPABILITY] response code to client-side
   of Murder proxies.
* Added support for ManageSieve auto-capability response after
   STARTTLS and after AUTH with a SASL security layer.
* Made MAXWORD and MAXQUOTED sizes configurable via imapd.conf
* Rewrote cyrusdb_quotalegacy.c to use readir()
   rather than glob.c.  This avoids a potential crash due to
   conflicts between glibc and Heimdal implementations of glob().
* Added support for fulldirhash to 'ctl_mboxlist -v'
* Several skiplist transaction bugfixes.
* cyr_expire no longer has a default of 0 (zero) for -X and -D.
   These options must be used explicitly in order to have the desired
   effect.
* Added sieve_utf8fileinto option.

Check doc/changes.html for a complete list of changes.

If there are any outstanding issues that you believe still need to be
addressed in 2.3.13, please let me know.
I did some test builds on different systems and found that postgresql
support doesn't work with postgresql 7.1.x and 7.2.x as shown in the error
below. I understand that these are old versions but if there is an easy
workaround for the problem it would still be nice.

One question to the new sieve_utf8fileinto options, is the default that it
behaves like old cyrus versions?

Thanks,
Simon


There have been 5 major releases of PostgreSQL since 7.2 was released
and 7.2 is EOL in the next few months. I think it is completely reasonable
to not support version 7.1/7.2 in a new system considering that 7.1 is
EOL and 7.2 will be shortly.

I wasn't aware of the release history, thanks for that.

Given this, I agree that support for 7.1/7.2 isn't necessary, especially since the cyrusdb_sql.c code is experimental and not built by default. If somebody really wants/needs 7.1/7.2 for Cyrus, they can send a patch.
