Version 2.0a3
|
Released 20 April 2002
- (DA) (update) Fixed POP3 message size bug that prevented retrieval
- (SK) (code) FileRepository should no longer produce 0-byte files. It checks that the source is different than the target, or confirm it is in memory before saving to disk.
- (SK) (update) Removed check that connection is not closed before returning it. The pooler is already confirming the connection was open before putting it in the pool, so this was a big unnecessary performance drain.
- (SK) (update) Fixed the delay in the JDBC mail spool repository as it wasn't rechecking correctly after it emptied the spool.
- (SS2) (code) Added dot-stuffing in POP3 message delivery to fix problems with Netscape and other mail clients and to comply with RFC.
- (JK) (code) Fixed bounce method to use the Return-Path header if there is one.
- (SK) (update) Improved handling of delivery error messages when the remote server returns a specific 5XY complaint.
- (SK) (code) Better diagnosing of temporary vs. permanent delivery exceptions, most notably "Could not connect to host.." is a temporary exception.
- (SK) (code) Remote SMTP delivery now sets the remote hostname using the servername configuration setting (uses the first one).
- (SK) (update) Have it cleanly (not print stack trace) if the remote manager handler has io/socket exceptions.
- (SK) (update) Support in "IsSenderInFakeDomain" to handle null senders properly (was producing a false positive in this case).
- (PH) (update) Added releaseConnection method to BaseConnectionHandler as per Paul H's bug report.
- (SK) (update) Reordered 250 SMTP responses to fix Mac client issue per Giles Chanot's bug report.

Version 2.0a2
|
Released 1 December 2001
- (*) (update) Moved to Avalon snapshot of November 2001
- (DA) (update) Fixed POP3 message size bug that prevented retrieval
- (SK) (code) Added Mordred database connection pooling. It is the marriage of Town's db pooling code and Excalibur's configuration.
- (SK) (update) Changed MailImpl.getSize() to getMessageSize() and from int to long.
- (SK) (docs) Small updates to documentation
- (SK) (code) Added JDBCListserv, straight JDBC implementation of old TownListserv that extends GenericListserv
- (SK) (update) Patched bug in GenericListserv for when subject was null
- (SK) (update) Got mailets/matchers to load from something besides james.bar
- (SK) (code) Added scheduler notification during SMTP DATA reception and POP3 RETR sending so the connection handler doesn't time out connection while data is being transfered.
- (SK) (code) Support <gatewayPort> setting on RemoteDelivery to send all messages to a non-port 25 SMTP server. Only makes sense when <gateway> is also set.
- (EP) (update) Used getAsBooleanValue in various configuration methods to make code more readable.
- (SS) (update) Added support for Oracle database for mail and spool JDBC repositories.

Version 1.2.1
|
Released 13 December 2000
- (SK,SR,CB) (update) Fix for "stuck file" problem in Avalon mail repository.
- (SK) (design) Made usernames case insensitive on MailAddress
- (SK) (code) Complete rewrite of processor code to send through Mail object through matchers and mailets. Design might be less efficient but easier to understand and more flexible for later improvements to API. Also no longer "loses" IP address and error message information when Mail object go from one processor/state to the next (ToProcessor changed as well now that processor works).
- (SK) (update) Updated to JavaMail 1.2
- (SK) (update) Changed instantiation of recipients on a Mail object to a Set (HashSet) whenever possible in preparation for the API having this change.
- (IS) (code) Added UsersTownRepository to let you maintain user lists in a database
- (SR) (update) In POP3 handler, properly includes headers in calculating size of messages.
- (SK) (update) Removed "synchronized" attribute on many methods in town and file spool repositories. Should significantly boost performance and multithreaded capabilities.
- (SK) (code) Optimization of town mail repository, introduction of JamesMimeMessageInputStream and the James MimeMessage. Should significantly reduce the number of unnecessary parses or saves on MimeMessages in server.
- (SR) (update) Properly calculates hashCode for MailAddress so duplicates do not exist in Hashmaps
- (SR) (update) Hardcoded serialVerUID on MailAddress and MailImpl to that of James 1.2 release so future releases can continue to use mail stored in earlier releases.
- (IS) (update) Added ability on NotifySender and NotifyPostmaster to attach informative notice.
- (SK) (update) GenericListservManager now requires existsAddress() which it uses to prevent someone already on the list from subscribing or someone not on the list from removing themselves.
- (SK) (update) Changed User repository for file to *always* end the destination with a File.separator. Otherwise if people mixed usage of this, it would crash the repositories with confusing error messages. Child repositories were already properly created with a terminating File.separator.
- (SK) (code) New matcher: IsSingleRecipient
- (SK) (code) Added spam blacklist checking for 3 spam blacklists that make this available in a simple DNS lookup check. All free services through mail-abuse.org. Added to default configuration in JAMES.conf.xml
- (PU) (code) Added first testing program. This would recreate file stuck problem. Would be good to build collection of testing utilities in this new package.
- (SK) (docs) Documented what all the jars are in the lib directory (what they're called, where they're from)

Version 1.2

- (SK) (code) Changed remote delivery to use an outgoing spool with a specified number of delivery threads
- (CB) (code) Experimental implementation of LDAP user manager

- (SK) (update) Fixed sorting of MX records so it attempts delivery in correct order
- (SK) (update) Changed remote manager to not allow a login if an admin account's password is empty,
and sets the root account's password empty by default (so you have to set one... prevents someone
from knowing the password to your system out of the box)
