It should work without changes, +although a couple of deprecated settings have been removed. + +Upgrading from Dovecot versions older than v1.0.rc1 directly to v1.1 is not +recommended. v1.0 versions contain some backwards compatibility checks and file +format converters that have been removed from v1.1. + +If you want to downgrade back after running v1.1, don't downgrade to older +versions than v1.0.8 or you'll get crashes. Especially if you're using maildir, +the 'dovecot-uidlist' file format has changed and Dovecot versions older than +v1.0.2 can't read it. + +Connections +----------- + + * 'listen = [::]' listens only for IPv6 connections now in most operating + systems. If you want both IPv4 and IPv6 use 'listen = *, [::]' + * By default the number of connections per-user per-IP is limited to 10. You + can change this with the 'mail_max_userip_connections' setting. + +Authentication +-------------- + + * <passwd-file> [AuthDatabase.PasswdFile.txt]: If you use %d in args, it no + longer means that domain isn't looked up from the passwd-file. You'll need + to add 'username_format=%n' prefix to args (e.g. 'args = username_format=%n + /etc/virtual.%d'). + * Empty or NULL password no longer means "any password is valid". You'll also + have to return "nopassword" field. + * <PAM> [PasswordDatabase.PAM.txt]: There's no more 'blocking=yes' setting, + it's now always enabled. If you want to limit the number of lookups done by + a dovecot-auth worker, change 'auth_worker_max_request_count' setting. + Setting it to 1 makes it work basically the same as the old 'blocking=no'. + * <passwd> [AuthDatabase.Passwd.txt]: The problem with passwd lookups is that + temporary errors (e.g. LDAP server down) are returned as "user doesn't + exist" errors. You may want to try the new <NSS> [UserDatabase.NSS.txt] + userdb. + * <SQL> [AuthDatabase.SQL.txt] and <LDAP> [AuthDatabase.LDAP.txt]: + 'user_global_uid' and 'user_global_gid' fields have been removed from their + config files. Instead you can now use 'mail_uid' and 'mail_gid' settings in + 'dovecot.conf'. This also means that it's no longer a requirement to specify + a userdb at all (a dummy <static userdb> [UserDatabase.Static.txt] is used + internally). + +Mail handling +------------- + + * In v1.0 'mmap_disable=yes' might have worked faster. If you had changed this + only because of that, it's time to set it back to "no". + * <NFS.txt> users should now set 'mail_nfs_storage=yes' and + 'mail_nfs_index=yes'. Dovecot no longer requires attribute cache to be + disabled. + * <Quota.txt> plugin has completely new configuration. See <Quota.1.1.txt>. + * <Maildir> [MailboxFormat.Maildir.txt]: 'dovecot-uidlist' file is in a new + format. The old format is automatically converted to new one, but if you + plan to move back to v1.0 be sure to use at least v1.0.2 which will also + understand this new format. + * Index files have slightly changed as well. Upgrading to v1.1 should go + transparently, but moving back to v1.0 might again cause some errors. v1.0.8 + fixes some assert-crashes that were caused by reading v1.1-generated index + files. + * 'dotlock_use_excl=yes' is default nowadays. If you're still using an ancient + NFSv2 setup, you'll need to set this to "no". + * mbox: Delete existing dovecot.index.cache files from all mailboxes. + Otherwise you may see some errors in logs. + * 'default_mail_env' has been renamed to 'mail_location' (since v1.0.rc11 + already). + * Namespaces: + * deliver now supports namespaces. If you use namespace prefixes or a + non-default separator and you deliver to non-INBOXes, deliver will now + have to use the configured prefix and separators. + * This is especially important for Sieve scripts. For example if you + only have "INBOX." namespace prefix and you used to use 'fileinto + "box"', it now has to be instead: 'fileinto "INBOX.box"' + * 'hidden=yes' now hides the namespace only from IMAP NAMESPACE reply. + You'll also need to set 'list=no' to truly hide them from clients' + mailbox list. + +Removed settings +---------------- + + * mail_read_mmaped: Mails are never read mmaped anymore. There wasn't much + point. + * mmap_no_write: OpenBSD users will have to settle for mmap_disable=yes for + now. + +(This file was created from the wiki on 2019-06-19 12:42) |
