Subject: archivemail 0.7.1 released
Hi folks,
2007-11-07 22:33:04 +00:00
archivemail 0.7.1 was released today. This is a maintenance release with
numerous fixes. Most notably, archivemail should now work flawlessly with
python 2.5; this was long overdue. Again, there are quite important fixes in
the IMAP code. And like with 0.7.0, there's one new feature (the new --copy
option, see below).
Here are the main items from the changelog, roughly ordered by priority:
* Fixed incompatibility with Python 2.5 which broke Maildir handling.
* Fixed IMAP message flag conversion which was completely broken.
* Username and password in IMAP URLs can now be double-quoted, so it should be
no longer a problem if they contain delimiters like the '@' character.
* New option --copy: archive mail, but don't delete it from the mailbox.
This is mainly useful for testing purposes, and complements --delete.
* IMAP: if selecting the mailbox fails, archivemail detects the server's
mailbox hierarchy delimiter, replaces slashes in the mailbox name with the
delimiter and tries again.
* When converting from other formats to mbox, archivemail used to preserve
existing 'Status' and 'X-Status' mbox headers; these are now silently
overwritten to ensure they have correct values.
* Invalid messages/files in Maildirs caused archivemail to silently stop
processing mails and claim it's all done. Now skip these and go ahead.
* The automatic seteuid feature of archivemail is insecure and thus
deprecated; it will be removed from later versions.
* archivemail now accepts --days=0
