Version 0.7.1 - UNRELEASED * Fixed incompatibility with Python 2.5 which broke Maildir handling. Closes: #1670422 * 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. Closes: #1640878 * Invalid messages/files in Maildirs caused archivemail to silently stop processing mails and claim it's all done. Now skip these and go ahead. (Thanks Elan Ruusamäe for tracking this down.) Closes: #1783369. (The Debian package has a different fix for this problem since 0.6.1-4, closing Debian bugs #255944 and #305902.) * Fixed IMAP message flag conversion which was completely broken. (Thanks Christian Brabandt) Closes: Debian bug #434807 * New option --copy: archive mail, but don't delete it from the mailbox. This is mainly useful for testing purposes, and complements --delete. Closes: #981865, #988803, #1764851, Debian bug #434798 * If running as root, only switch the effective uid and gid back if we have actually switched them before. Closes: #1762907 * The automatic seteuid feature of archivemail is insecure and thus deprecated; it will be removed from later versions. Version 0.7.0 - 2 November 2006 * Fixed long options --filter-append and --pwfile to accept their arguments. Closes: #1555935 * Fixed From_ line generation to actually look for the 'Return-path' and 'From' headers. Closes: #1555797 * Fixed IMAP authentication/URL parsing, which wasn't working at all in v0.6.2. Require username encoded in URL, but be flexible with the password: handle both --pwfile and URL-encoded password, and fallback to querying the user if neither is present. Closes: #1555951 * Convert on-the-wire CRLF to native EOL when saving messages from an IMAP folder. Closes: #1555803 * Updated man page. This also addresses #1555951 * Fixed unittest failure by updating --suffix testcase. Based on analysis by Peter Poeml. Thanks, Peter. * Fixed invalid IMAP filter string for large messages (--size option). (Thanks to the anonymous bug reporter) Closes: #863813 * Fixed IMAP --dry-run so it doesn't download all messages that would be archived. * Fixed IMAP --delete which didn't work at all. (Thanks Anand) Closes: Debian bug #203282 * Terminate each message in newly written mbox with an empty line if the message source is not an mbox-format folder. (Thanks Chung-chieh Shan) Closes: Debian bug #250410 * Mangle From_ in message body if the message source is not an mbox-format folder. (Thanks Chung-chieh Shan) Closes: Debian bug #250402 * Added new option --dont-mangle to turn off From_ mangling. * Bumped Python dependency to version 2.3. * Fixed unittest TestMboxExclusiveLock which failed on Solaris. (Thanks Paul Rodger) Closes: #904652 * 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. (Thanks Joey Hess) Closes: Debian bug #385253 * Fixed cleanup of temporary files after test suite failures. * Fixed dotlocking race condition. * Stats are now working with IMAP. * Stats now report the total size of a mailbox and of the archived messages therefrom. * Always barf if the archive destination directory is world-writable. * Distributing man page with the tarball again and fixed distutils setup. Closes: #1574720 (Thanks Grant Goodyear) * Improved IMAP error reporting Version 0.6.2 - 27 June 2006 * add -F/--filter-append option to append an arbitrary string to the IMAP filter string * don't delete more than a certain number of messages at a time. The max command len is limited. Fixes bug 942403 (Archiving large IMAP folders fails) * IMAP: try CRAM-MD5 login first, if that fails fallback to plain login * add SSL support per imaps URL (after patch by Tobias Gruetzmacher) * add -P/--pwfile option to supply the IMAP password, so it does not end up in the shell history * Fix SyntaxWarning: assignment to None (bug #843890) * Use the archive cut date rather than the actual time with the --suffix option. (Thanks Manuel Estrada Sainz) Version 0.6.1 - 31 October 2002 * Removed a test rule that we could archive messages older than the Unix epoch. Newer versions of python now give an overflow error calling mktime() on dates < 1970 instead of returning a negative number. Version 0.6.0 - 3 October 2002 * Added IMAP mailbox support. (Thanks Mark Roach) Version 0.5.1 - 18 September 2002 * Fixed a bug where when running archivemail as root on a non-root mailbox, the temporary container directory would be created as root before the seteuid() took place. (Thanks Jay Hesselberth) Version 0.5.0 - 15 September 2002 * Fixed a bug where mailbox locking would fail under Solaris. (Thanks Mark Sheller) * Fixed a bug where archiving maildir mailboxes without a 'Received Date' or 'From' header would fail. (Thanks Hugo van der Merwe) * Removed yet another bug where messages dated on the Unix epoch would fail. Version 0.4.9 - 18 August 2002 * Fixed a bug where an exception was thrown if a message was dated exactly on the Unix epoch. * Fixed a bug where trailing slashes on the end of maildir/MH mailbox arguments were being used in the archive name. Version 0.4.8 - 20 May 2002 * Call mkdir() to create a container directory in which we can place any created tempfiles Version 0.4.7 - 9 May 2002 * Fixed a bug where archivemail would abort if it received a date header with a completely blank value. Version 0.4.6 - 6 May 2002 * Fixed a bug where the os.rename() calls could fail if we were moving temporary files across different filesystems/partitions. Version 0.4.5 - 29 April 2002 * Fixed a bug where if you used the '--delete' option to completely clean an mbox mailbox you would get a python error. * Added a lot more testing to test_archivemail.py (test_archivemail.py is now 37% bigger than archivemail -- scary) * Added a new '--size' option which allows you to only archive messages over a certain size. Version 0.4.4 - 27 April 2002 * Fixed a bug where the long --suffix option was not working (although the short option, '-s' was). * Added time-based format directives to the --suffix option, so that you can do things like specify --suffix='%B%Y' to create archives named after the current month and year * Added some more tests to test_archivemail.py Version 0.4.3 - 26 April 2002 * Fixed a couple of bugs where I was using python version 2.2 syntax that was giving errors in python v2.0 and v2.1. * Changed the python requirements for the test script from python version 2.0 to version 2.1. This is because the unittest module is only available in version 2.1 and above. Version 0.4.2 - 24 April 2002 * Added the ability to archive messages older than a given absolute date with the new option '--date'. * Fixed a bug where archivemail would complain about messages older than 1970. Yes, someone had a 'Date' header with 1967 :) * Complain if the mailbox to be read does not look like a valid mbox-format mailbox. * Added a few more tests to test_archivemail.py Version 0.4.1 - 21 April 2002 * Don't archive messages that are flagged important unless we are given the --include-flagged option. * Fixed a bug where when archiving messages from maildir mailboxes, we were not preserving the status information contained in the filename suffix to Status and X-Status mbox headers. This means we forgot if we had read or replied to the message. * We now complain if an mbox-format mailbox that is being read changes in size -- this should not happen, since we have locked these files, but it is a good sanity check. * Changed from using the mailbox.PortableUnixMailbox class to read mbox mailboxes to the mailbox.UnixMailbox class. This fixes bugs where unquoted 'From ' lines in the body of messages were confusing archivemail. Version 0.4.0 - 17 April 2002 * Added an option --no-compress to make archives but not compress them with gzip. * Added an option --preserve-unread to not archive unread messages. * Added a few more unittests. Version 0.3.2 - 13 April 2002 * Added a lot more information to the manpage, including examples and notes. * Fixed up the README file and archivemail usage message. * Added an example archivemail shell script that I run from crontab. Version 0.3.1 - 12 April 2002 * Stopped calling 'gzip' externally and started using the gzip library so that we can append to a copy of the gzip archive directly. * Removed 'bzip2' and 'compress' options since they are increasing complexity without adding much, and needed to be called externally. Maybe when python gets a bzip2 library I will add back an option to compress archives using bzip2. * Included a man page & sgml docbook source. Version 0.3.0 - 11 April 2002 * We now preserve the last-accessed and last-modified timestamps correctly * We now preserve the correct permissions on the original mailbox instead of always mode 600 * Fixed a bug where lockfiles were being created that were not world-readable * Made archivemail work better when used as a python module so it can integrate better with unittest. (... although I still distribute it without the .py extension - dodgy?) * Bundled a unit-testing script for archivemail * Started using a distutils 'setup.py' script for installation. Version 0.2.1 - 4 April 2002 * Since we might not have a parse-able 'Date-Received' or 'Date' field, use 5 different ways to guess the date of a message. * Removed the '--use-mtime' option since it is obsolete -- we will always use the file modification time for the message if other date-parsing methods fail. * Check to see if we are running as root -- if so, change our effective userid and groupid to that of the original mailbox. This will make sure any archives or tempfiles we write have the same ownership and will allow the root user to do "archivemail /var/spool/mail/*" * Fixed a bug where if you ran 'archivemail.py foo/mbox' it would create the archive file in the current directory instead of the directory 'foo'. Version 0.2.0 - 3 April 2002 * Added support for reading from MH mailboxes * Refuse to proceed if we would be making tempfiles in world-writable directories * Clamped down with lots of assert()s checking function parameters * Complain earlier if we do not have permission to write to the output directory * Use the 'Date' field of a message when constructing the 'From_' line from a maildir/MH mailbox if there is no 'Delivery-Date' field. Version 0.1.0 - 31 March 2002 * Initial release
