A combined release announcement for a change. :)

Largest changes since v1.1.4:

* Dovecot prints an informational message about authentication problems
at startup. The message goes away after the first successful
authentication. This hopefully reduces the number of "Why doesn't
my authentication work?" questions.

+ Maildir/dbox: Try harder to assign unique UIDVALIDITY values to
mailboxes to avoid potential problems when recreating or renaming
mailboxes. The UIDVALIDITY is tracked using dovecot-uidvalidity*
files in the mail root directory.
+ Many logging improvements
- In some conditions Dovecot could have stopped using existing cache
file and never used it again until it was deleted.
- pop3 + Maildir: Make sure virtual sizes are always written to
dovecot-uidlist. This way if the indexes are lost Dovecot will never
do a huge amount of work to recalculate them.
- mbox: Fixed listing mailboxes in namespaces with prefix beginning
with '~' or '/' (i.e. UW-IMAP compatibility namespaces didn't work).
- dict quota: Don't crash when recalculating quota (when quota warnings
enabled).
- Fixes to handling "out of disk space/quota" failures.
- Blocking passdbs/userdbs (e.g. PAM, MySQL) could have failed lookups
sometimes when auth_worker_max_request_count was non-zero.
- Fixed compiling with OpenBSD

Largest changes since v1.2.alpha2:

+ Added userdb checkpassword (by Sascha Wilde)
+ Autocreate plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Autocreate
+ Listescape plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape
- All the same fixes as for v1.1.5

How can I update using customapache?

Thanks, Updated.

[donkeyKICK]

did you use customapache?

[jw00dy]

No, custombuild.

How can I update using customapache?

why do you want to use customapache?

custombuild is newer and easier to use.

[donkeyKICK]

Because I don't want to change over, and I need to keep FrontPage working.

wget http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.5.tar.gz

./build dovecot


You could use


cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build versions
./build update_versions


Of course this will update anything that needs an update not just Dovecot!

[donkeyKICK]

Right, from what I understand, custombuild updates everything, and one of the problems is that it breaks FrontPage extensions. I can't have that, so until this is addressed, I need to stay with customapache.

Is there a way to update using customapache?

You could use


cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build versions
./build update_versions

Yes, or you can use:


/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build dovecot
But you were not able to use these methods at the time I posted my how-to, because Dovecot 1.1.5 was not uploaded to DirectAdmin servers.

Thanks!
