13 | All about this Release!!! |
14 | ========================= |
815d9ba0 |
15 | |
76911253 |
16 | This is the first Release Candidate (RC) for the 1.4.x stable series. |
17 | Please note that this release is not yet labeled STABLE officially. |
18 | |
19 | However, we've been running this on a number of systems and a variety |
20 | of configs and we think it's worthy of the "stable"-title. Before we |
21 | can call it stable we want to test it on as many systems as possible |
22 | to iron out the last issues. |
a23d0264 |
23 | |
24 | So download it! Install it, and try to break it! We are hungry for any |
76911253 |
25 | bug report you send. |

28 | Major updates |
29 | ============== |
30 | |
76911253 |
31 | The 1.4.0 series (as a result of 1.3 devel series) brings: |
3eb34ffd |
32 | |
76911253 |
33 | * A complete rewrite of the way we send mail (Deliver-class), |
34 | and of the way we parse mail (MIME-bodystructure parsing). |
35 | This makes SquirrelMail more reliable and more efficient |
36 | at the same time! |
37 | * Support for IMAP UID which makes SquirrelMail more reliable. |
38 | * Optimizations to code and the number of IMAP calls. |
39 | * Support for a wider range of authentication mechanisms. |
40 | * Lots of bugfixes and a couple of UI-tweaks. |

44 | A note on plugins |
45 | ================= |
46 | |
47 | There have been very severe architecture improvements. Lots of plugins |
48 | have not yet been adapted to this. Plugins which are distributed with |
49 | this release (eg. in the same .tar.gz file) may work. Plugins not |
50 | distributed with this plugin most probably WILL NOT WORK. |
51 | |
52 | So if you have ANY problem at all, first try turning off all plugins. |

55 | A note on your configuration |
56 | ============================ |
a67a0f59 |
57 | |
a23d0264 |
58 | For a whole bunch of reasons, it is MANDATORY that you run conf.pl |
59 | (and then save your configuration) from the config/ directory before |
60 | using this release. |

61 | |
a23d0264 |
62 | If you have problems with UID support, please do these 2 things: |
63 | |
64 | 1) For our comfort and the prosper of SquirrelMail: |
65 | send a bugreport with this information |
66 | * IMAP server type + version |
67 | * Whether you use server-side sorting |
68 | * Whether you use thread sorting |
69 | * The value of "sort" (as in conf.pl) |
70 | bugs can be submitted at: http://www.squirrelmail.org/bugs |
71 | 2) For your own pleasure and comfort: |
76911253 |
72 | turn of UID support in conf.pl, so you can continue to use 1.4.0 |

76 | ========================================== |
77 | |
76911253 |
78 | This RC is meant to catch the last bugs. So we need you to submit |
79 | any bug you come across! Also, please mention that the bug is in |
80 | this 1.4.0 RC1 release. |

83 | |
84 | Thank you for your cooperation in that issue. That helps us to make |
85 | sure that nothing slips through the cracks. Also, it would help if |
86 | people would check existing tracker items for a bug before reporting |
87 | it again. This would help to eliminate duplicate reports, and |
88 | increase the time we can spend CODING by DECREASING the time we |
89 | spend sorting through bug reports. And remember, check not only OPEN |
90 | bug reports, but also closed ones as a bug that you report MAY have |
91 | been fixed in CVS already. |
