We feel that releasing development -versions will help us making the to-be stable release more stable, and -restricting the ability to test no longer to people who use CVS. +This is the first release of our new 1.5.x-series, which is a +DEVELOPMENT release. -So download it! Install it, and try to break it! We are hungry for any -bug report you send. If stumbling over a bug is a true non-option, -this release is not for you. In that case, download the stable version -and enjoy that one. +See the Major Updates section of this file for more. -In general, we are planning to regularly release a 1.3.x version until -it is stable enough to call her 1.4 or 2.0. While I'm at it, one -comment on version numbers. Our version numbers take the form of A.B.C - A increases with time, but only very seldomly. - B if it is even (0, 2, 4 etc), it is a stable release - if it is odd (1, 3, 5 etc), it is a development release - C indicates small changes. -Which is to say our version numbering system is the same as that of -the linux kernel. So 1.2.7 is a stable version, and 1.3.1 (this one) -is a development release. -We are excited to bring you the fruits of a very good development -series. Major rewrites of the back-end and the user interface have -been happening since the 1.2 series. - - -A note on plugins -================= - -There have been very severe architecture improvements. Lots of plugins -have not yet been adapted to this. Plugins which are distributed with -this release (eg. in the same .tar.gz file) may work. Plugins not -distributed with this plugin most probably WILL NOT WORK. - -So if you have ANY problem at all, first try turning off all plugins. - - -A note on PHP 4.2.2 -=================== - -There are certain issues with PHP 4.2.2 and session handling that have -not yet been addresses in this release. So this release MAY NOT WORK -when you use PHP 4.2.2. These issues will be addressed to in -forthcoming 1.3.x releases. - - -A note on your configuration -============================ - -For a whole bunch of reasons, it is MANDATORY that you run conf.pl -(and then save your configuration) from the config/ directory before -using this release. - -If you have problems with UID support, please do these 2 things: - -1) For our comfort and the prosper of SquirrelMail: - send a bugreport with this information - * IMAP server type + version - * Whether you use server-side sorting - * Whether you use thread sorting - * The value of "sort" (as in conf.pl) - bugs can be submitted at: http://www.squirrelmail.org/bugs -2) For your own pleasure and comfort: - turn of UID support in conf.pl, so you can continue to use 1.3.1 - - -A note on MIME +Major updates ============== -In case you stumble over a message of which something goes wrong with -MIME (it does not display some of its parts all right, etc. etc.), -please forward the message AS AN ATTACHMENT to -squirrelmail-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. However, AVOID -forwarding emails over 20k of size.
