- fix references to version 4 in README. Thanks: Daniel Kahn Gillmor.
- add Gmail-specific XOAUTH2 login support for IMAP. Thanks: Stefan Krah.
|
|
- silence a nuisance deprecation warning about the sets module when
running with Python >= 2.5 which was reintroduced in 4.29.0.
Thanks: Stephan Schulz.
- fix breakage introduced in 4.29.0 where BrokenUIDLPOP3Retriever
would fail with a TypeError at logout time. Thanks: Scott Robbins,
Stephan Schulz.
- fix breakage introduced in 4.29.0 where deleted mail was not being
expunged from the last (or only) folder retrieved from in an IMAP
session. Thanks: Paul Howarth.
- update old contact information for Free Software Foundation.
Thanks: Ricky Zhou.
- fix incorrect character encoding in plaintext documentation.
Thanks: Ricky Zhou.
- ensure getmail exits nonzero if a server refuses login due to a
credential problem. Thanks: Stephan Schulz.
- ensure getmail exits nonzero if various error conditions (like
POP/IMAP authentication failure) occur. Thanks: Ryan J., Stephan
Schulz.
- python versions prior to 2.5.0 contain a bug when dealing with
read-only IMAP mailboxes. Monkey-patch imaplib when running with
Python<2.5.0. Thanks: Les Barstow.
- do IMAP modified-utf7 conversion of mailbox names containing
non-ASCII characters. Thanks: A. Lapraitis, Randall Mason.
- add special ALL value for retrieving mail from all selectable
IMAP mailboxes in the account.
- change IMAP retrieval strategy to retrieve all messages from a
mailbox, then move on to the next mailbox, etc. Should result in
increased speed, but if you set `max_messages_per_session` too
low, this could result in later mailboxes not being retrieved
from.
Updating this leaf package during the freeze for bugfixes.

- add Kerberos authentication support to IMAP retriever classes.
Thanks: Guido Günther, Uli M.
- clarify documentation regarding MDA_external. Thanks: AJ Weber.

4.3.14:
-Fix copy and paste error that caused BrokenUIDLPOP3SSLRetriever to default
to port 110. Thanks: Daniel Burrows via Fredrik Steen.
4.4.0:
-add new POP3-over-SSL initialization class, which is automatically used
when Python 2.4 or newer is in use. This reduces the overhead involved
in retrieving messages from a POP3SSL server (reduces systime about 35%,
user time about 50%, wall time 10-30%). Thanks: Jan Vereecke.
-add getmail_fetch configuration-less commandline POP retriever, perfect
for scripting use. Development of getmail_fetch was sponsored by
Texas Communications.
-future proofing: eliminate relative imports within getmailcore package.
4.4.1:
-work around bug in Python which meant POP3-over-SSL with Python >= 2.4
could "hang" (it's exactly the same bug that affected getmail's initial
IMAP-over-SSL code).
4.4.2:
-fix logging import in corrupt messages with Python 2.3. Thanks: Marco Ferra.
|
|
-fix cosmetic error for IMAP mailboxes with 0 messages in them.
-change method of obtaining uidvalidity from IMAP server and remove wrapper.
-previously, connecting to an IMAP-SSL server could fail if a non-SSL
IMAP connection were attempted immediately before. This was due to
the Python bug discussed here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=945642&group_id=5470&atid=305470
Implemented a workaround for getmail. Thanks: Payal Rathod.

4.0.7:
-change failure of a message filter to produce at least as many mail headers
as it was provided from a fatal to a non-fatal error. The message will
be skipped. Thanks: Payal Rathod.
-a few non-conformant IMAP4 servers don't implement SEARCH, so getmail
couldn't get a list of UIDs. Changed to use FETCH instead.
Thanks: Matthias Andree.
-prevent traceback if IMAP SSL connection closed during connect().
Thanks: Payal Rathod.
-add warning if unknown parameters are supplied to a retriever, filter,
or destination.
-write subclasses of Python imaplib classes to work around missing
UIDVALIDITY select() response. Add it to the state getmail keeps.
Thanks: Matthias Andree.
-move message state saving to later, so getmail doesn't falsely remember
having handled a message. Thanks: Matthias Andree.
-change location of documentation/man pages to
<prefix>/share/{doc/getmail,man}/ to be more comformant with the FHS.
-documentation updates
4.0.8:
-add an extra error message if you ask getmail to deliver to a maildir,
but getmail can't check the contents of it due to permissions.
Thanks: Clemens Buschmann.
-fix breakage introduced in 4.0.7: getmail would forget a message was "seen"
after a cycle of not retrieving it. Thanks: Payal Rathod.

differences from previous versions:
getmail version 4 has been completely rewritten. It is designed to
closely mimic the interface and user experience of getmail version
3, but the new architecture necessitates some differences you will
notice:
* the getmail rc file (configuration file) format has changed. If
you are upgrading from version 3, you will need to write a new
configuration file based on the contents of your old one. The
new file format resembles the old in many ways. Each account you
retrieve mail from will require a separate rc file, but getmail
can operate with multiple rc files simultaneously if you wish to
retrieve mail from multiple accounts.
* support for protocols other than POP3/SPDS. IMAP support is now
included, and other protocols can be added with relative ease.
* support for SSL-encrypted protocols. The included POP3 and IMAP
retriever classes are complemented by SSL-enabled counterparts.
* messages can be filtered or annotated by external programs like
spam filters and anti-Microsoft-worm programs. Filters can cause
messages to be dropped completely.
* a flexible, extensible architecture. Additional classes for
handling new mail protocols, filter types, or destination mailstores
can be added without needing to modify the main script at all.
Feel free to contact me if you need a custom retriever, filter,
or destination class written, or if you want commercial support
for getmail.

Changes since 3.1.7:
* Add command_add_fromline directive to control prepending mbox-style From_
lines to command deliveries. Defaults to 1, the previous behaviour. Set
to 0 to disable.
* Add workaround for differences in Python poplib; an incompatible change
was introduced (apparently in 1.6) to Python's library, where session.retr()
previous returned raw lines, but now it returns the un-stuffed lines.
getmail now has to conditionally un-stuff lines depending on the version
of the Python interpreter in use.
* Change the "over max message size of %(max_message_size)i, skipping ..."
message from informational to warning so it can be seen when using
-q/--quiet/verbose=0. Thanks to Volker Kuhlmann for the report.
-Change error message resulting from failed APOP attempt

Changes:
Version 3.1.1
14 March 2003
-Add additional info to message log (msg #, msg count, size) "new msg"
status line. Thanks to Payal Rathod for the feature request.
Version 3.1.0
21 February 2003
-Rename the recipient_header directive to "envelope_recipient". There was
simply too much confusion about it. Sorry, but you'll have to update
your getmailrc file and rename this directive if you're using it. This
version was going to be 3.0.5, but this change necessitates bumping the
version up to 3.1.0.
-Include separate callable program for mbox delivery. The program,
getmail_mbox, is based on the mbox delivery code in getmail version
2.3. It assumes mboxrd format and flock locking; if other programs
on your system expect a different subtype of mbox format or use a different
locking method, you can corrupt your mbox file. Use at your own risk.
You can use this in a command delivery target from getmail
as "|/path/to/getmail_mbox /path/to/mboxfile" .
-In a similar vein, include separate callable program for maildir delivery.
The program, getmail_maildir, uses the same maildir delivery code as
getmail. You can use this in a command delivery target from getmail
as "|/path/to/getmail_maildir /path/to/maildir/" . This is mostly useful
if you want to deliver to a maildir after doing something else to the message,
and can be used in place of safecat.
-Add message filtering. You can now pass messages through arbitrary
filters before delivery; specify one or more message_filter directives,
each of which is a command and arguments. The filter(s) should read the
message from stdin, write to stdout, and exit 0 for success, 99 to drop
the message in the bitbucket, and anything else to indicate an error.
No docs for this yet.
-getmail could drop the final newline when delivering to Maildirs in
some circumstances. Thanks to Jason Mastaler for the report and testing.
Version 3.0.4
20 February 2003
-Catch a user incorrectly specifying two values for recipient_header.
Thanks to Francisco Stefano Wechsler for the report.
-Update ConfParser to version 3.3, designed to make it easier to catch
user configuration errors.
-Update configuration-handling code to use new features of ConfParser 3.3
above, report configuration errors more clearly. Thanks to Francisco
Stefano Wechsler for the report which got me looking at this.
-Add explicit check for recipient_header specifying a known-incorrect
value. Thanks to Edward Davis for the report that got me looking at this.
-Move some sanity checks around to report errors earlier.
Version 3.0.3
14 February 2003
-Missing import in getmail_utilities.py affected those who let getmail
prompt them for a password. Thanks to Francisco Stefano Wechsler for the
report.
Version 3.0.2
14 February 2003
-My editor let CR LF line endings into getmail_utilities.py ; this caused
problems for at least one person. Thanks to Francisco Stefano Wechsler
for the report. Now fixed.
Version 3.0.1
13 February 2003
-Have getmail report an error if local directives are specified but getmail
is not operating in multidrop mode (through either of the "use_*env" or
"recipient_header" directives). Thanks to Gerwin Krist for reporting that
this was not obvious.
Version 3.0.0
10 February 2003
-Updated to version 1.23 of Timothy O'Malley's timeoutsocket.py
from http://www.timo-tasi.org/python/timeoutsocket.py
-not all configuration errors were being caught in ConfParser. Updated
ConfParser as a result; thanks to Christian Pelster for reporting and testing
this.
-Move lots of code around. Much has been moved into separate files.
Much other code has been cleaned up.
-Add support for Demon's SPDS "*ENV" command for domain mailboxes.
Thanks to Paul Clifford for the request and the pointer to Demon's
explanation of this protocol extension, submission of a patch to
getmail 2.3.x for this feature, and for a testing 3.0 in its pre-release
state. Paul also submitted several patches during pre-release testing
which I accepted.
-Change main delivery loop; individual message delivery failures are
not considered fatal errors any more. The messages will be left on the
server and retried.
-Remove mbox delivery code. Use an external MDA for this; for safety
and reliability, all mbox-delivery programs on a system have to be compiled
to use the same method of mbox locking in any case. I don't use mbox
files at all.
-Simplify handling of oldmail data files.
-Domain mailboxes are now only supported with explicit configuration of
a header field which records the envelope recipient address or with *ENV.
This removes a lot of code and makes the logic simpler.
-Remove duplicate filtering option. Use an external MDA for this.
-Change maildir delivery algorithm; getmail will now try up to three times
to generate a valid, unique name in maildir/tmp/, sleeping two seconds
between tries as recommended by djb. This code is also now moved into
an independant function in getmail_utilities.py for easier use by others.
The file naming convention has changed to djb's "modern delivery
identifiers".
