2.3.15->2.3.16 The latest stable/current release of the IMAP server is 2.3.16 which includes support for replicated mailboxes, unified murder configuration, delayed expunge, separate metadata partitions, Sieve extensions, and much more. It requires SASLv2. http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/changes.html http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/install-upgrade.html


dovecot

1.2.6 -> 1.2.11 mbox users really should upgrade, because by sending a message with a huge header you could basically cause a DoS (this problem exists only with v1.2.x, not with v1.0 or v1.1).

- mbox: Message header reading was unnecessarily slow. Fetching a huge header could have resulted in Dovecot eating a lot of CPU. Also searching messages was much slower than necessary. - mbox, dbox, cydir: Mail root directory was created with 0770 permissions, instead of 0700. - maildir: Reading uidlist could have ended up in an infinite loop. - IMAP IDLE: v1.2.7+ caused extra load by checking changes every 0.5 seconds after a change had occurred in mailbox
