+dovecot (1:2.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ Upgrading to the 2.3 series may require manual configuration changes.
+ Some settings have been removed, while others have had their defaults
+ changed. Please see
+
+ /usr/share/doc/dovecot-core/wiki/Upgrading.2.3.txt.gz
+
+ or the online version at
+
+ https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3

+dovecot (1:2.2.31-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ TLS is now enabled by default, using the ssl-cert-snakeoil certificate
+ provided by the ssl-cert package. Upgrades from older versions will be
+ prompted to accept the new configuration and enable TLS. If you have already
+ configured TLS yourself, you'll most probably want to keep your settings
+ intact.
+
+ See /usr/share/doc/dovecot-core/README.Debian for more information on the
+ certificate's default location and how to install your own certificates.

+dovecot (1:2.2.21-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ This release disables the dovecot.socket systemd unit by default. The unit is
+ disabled only if the dovecot.service unit is already enabled, making sure
+ that dovecot will start on system boot. If you are upgrading dovecot and
+ previously relied on dovecot.socket and dovecot.service being both enabled,
+ please re-enable dovecot.socket manually using
+
+ systemctl enable dovecot.socket
+
+ Future package updates will not disable the socket unit again. For details
+ regarding this decision, please see Debian bugs #803915 and #814999.

+dovecot (1:2.1.7-7) unstable; urgency=high
+
+ If you are upgrading from stable or the earlier 2.1.7 packages in testing,
+ you are advised to backup your configuration files before continuing.
+ Carefully read /usr/share/doc/dovecot-core/README.Debian.gz for important
+ information about problems that might affect your upgrade.

+
+dovecot (1:2.0.5-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ * A lot of settings have changed. Dovecot v2.0 can still use most of
+ the v1.x configuration files, but it logs a lot of warnings at
+ startup. A quick and easy way to convert your old config file to
+ v2.0 format is:
+
+ doveconf -n -c dovecot-1.conf > dovecot-2.conf
+
+ This command logs a warning about each obsolete setting it
+ converts to the new format. You can either go through the warnings
+ to figure out what changes exactly were done, or you can simply
+ trust doveconf and replace your old config with the newly
+ generated one.
+
+ * Dovecot uses two system users for internal purposes now by
+ default: "dovenull" and "dovecot". "dovenull" user is used by
+ completely untrustworthy processes, while "dovecot" user is used
+ for slightly more trusted processes.
+
+ * In conf.d/10-mail.conf, the default mail_location is set to
+ mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
+ This has to be set because Dovecots auto-detection of mailboxes fails
+ when a user has no mail. I tried to provide a reasonable default
+ but advanced users will certainly want to change this.
+
+ Related to this, you might see an error in the logs about dovecot not
+ being able to chgrp certain files. This is because the default user
+ mailboxes in Debian belong to group mail which dovecot is not part of
+ (nor should be.) The Debian package has been patched so that the error
+ will not be fatal but for a more permanent solution, see here:
+ http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm for some discussion. Or
+ you can set mail_location (and the equivalent settings in your MDA) so
+ that mailboxes are in the users home directory.
+
+ * No more convert plugin, use dsync instead
+
+ * No more expire-tool, use doveadm expunge instead. Also expire
+ configuration is different.
+
+ * Post-login scripts are configured differently and need to be modified
+
+ * Quota warnings are configured differently and the script may need
+ to be modified (most environment settings like $USER are gone)
+
+ * Global ACL filenames now require namespace prefix (e.g. if you use
+ "INBOX." prefix, /etc/acls/foo needs to be renamed to
+ /etc/acls/INBOX.foo
+
+ * Maildir: Permissions for newly created mail files are no longer
+ copied from dovecot-shared file, but instead from the mail
+ directory (e.g. for "foo" mailbox, they're taken from
+ ~/Maildir/.foo directory)
+
+ * dbox: v2.0 format is slightly different, but backwards
+ compatible. The main problem is that v2.0 no longer supports
+ maildir-dbox hybrid resulting from "fast Maildir migration". If
+ you have any Maildir files in your dbox, you need to convert them
+ somehow (some examples). You might also consider using dsync to
+ get rid of the old unused metadata in your dbox files.
+
+
+ * Pre-login and post-login CAPABILITY reply is now
+ different. Dovecot expects clients to recognize new automatically
+ sent capabilities. This should work with all commonly used
+ clients, but some rarely used clients might have problems. Either
+ get the client fixed, or set imap_capability manually.
+
+ * ManageSieve protocol was assigned an official port by IANA:
+ 4190. This is used by Pigeonhole by default now. If you want to
+ listen also on the old 2000 port, see the example in
+ /usr/share/doc/dovecot-common/wiki/ManageSieve.Configuration.txt.gz
+
+ * deliver binary was renamed to dovecot-lda (but a symlink still
+ exists for now)
+
+ * deliver -n parameter was replaced by lda_mailbox_autocreate
+ setting. The default also changed to "no".
+
+ * deliver -s parameter was replaced by lda_mailbox_autosubscribe
+ setting. The default is "no", as before.

+
+dovecot (1:1.0.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * mail_extra_groups=mail setting is often used insecurely to give Dovecot
+ access to create dotlocks to /var/mail directory. The setting has been
+ replaced by mail_privileged_group and mail_access_groups.

+dovecot (1.0.beta3-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Starting from this release, dovecot-lda is included in dovecot-common.
+ The previous executable deliver has been removed from the upstream
+ source package.
+ * Other new features recently added include
+ + vpopmail support
+ + quota support
+ + GSSAPI support
+ * All these new features mean there are some configuration file changes
+ please review the default /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and merge in any
+ new bits. (If you don't use any new features, your configuration should
+ remain compatible.)

+dovecot (1.0.alpha4-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * This is the 1.0alpha branch. Once again there have been incompatible
+ changes to the syntax of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.
+ * The dovecot-common package now includes the zlib plugin for compressed
+ mboxen. Make sure you have mail_use_modules=yes in imap and/or pop3
+ section in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf if you want to use this.

+dovecot (0.99.20050712-1) unstable; urgency=low

+ changes and new features have been added so check your configuration
+ carefully. In particular, /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf and
+ /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf have been replaced by
+ /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf .
