+Subject: archivemail 0.7 released with security fixes
+
+
+Hi folks, 
+
+archivemail 0.7.0 is ready for download.  This release comes with many and
+important fixes, some of which address security issues; I strongly recommend to
+upgrade.
+
+Despite the major version change, this is mostly a maintenance release, with
+notable fixes in the IMAP code.  There's actually just one new feature (size
+stats, see below) if you don't count what in theory was already there, but just
+didn't work. :-)
+
+Okay, here are my pet items from the changelog, roughly ordered by priority:
+
+* Fixed unsafe creation of temporary files in the test suite.
+  This addresses Debian bug #385253, and reading the BTS log, it seems this
+  issue was assigned CVE-2006-4245, although I cannot find any further
+  reference to that CVE.  Note that the bug was initially reported to affect
+  archivemail itself, too.  This is not correct.  
+* Fixed dotlocking race condition. 
+* IMAP was broken in v0.6.2 and is now working again.
+* New feature: stats now report the total size of a mailbox and of the archived
+  messages therefrom.  
+* archivemail now writes valid mbox(5) archives and by default mangles From_
+  lines; the latter can be disabled with the new option --dont-mangle (see the
+  man page for the details; see also Debian bugs #250410 and #250402)
+* archivemail finally converts on-the-wire CRLF to native EOL when saving
+  messages from an IMAP folder. 
+* Fixed IMAP --delete which never worked at all.  
+* Fixed IMAP --dry-run so it doesn't download all messages that would be
+  archived.  
+* Fixed IMAP --size which never worked at all.
+* archivemail now requires Python version >= 2.3.
+* Fixed unittest failures.
+* Distributing man page with the tarball again and fixed distutils setup.
+  
+
+The changes in this release probably better had went into several minor
+releases, when we would have something like v0.6.6 now, but I was carried away
+with bugfixing...  
+
+In other news, archivemail has new maintainers, namely Peter Poeml and Nikolaus
+Schulz (that's me, hi!).  The former maintainer Brandon Knitter is currently not
+active on the project. 
+
+Cheers, 
+Nikolaus
