- Drop hasnochildren_means_noinferiors.patch since upstream now
handles dual-use mailboxes.
* New maintainer email address.
* Update README.Debian, removing lies about TLS not being possible to
disable (Closes: #440462).

prayer (1.0.18-1) experimental; urgency=low
 
/trunk/debian/README.Debian
3,49 → 3,29
 
The Debian version of Prayer is built with SSL support with session
cache using libdb4.3, gzip Content-Transfer-Encoding, LDAP, and System
V mutex support. Some bigger and some smaller changes have been made:
V mutex support. The previous version, which was only uloaded to the
experimental distribution, was heavily patched to add UTF-8 and IPv6
support among other things. All that has been incorporated and
improved by upstream in 1.1.0. The remaining patches concern changes
to default configuration regarding directory structure, and minor
cosmetic changes to the folder list.
 
* As the upstream web page explains, "Prayer was designed to work
with the Washington IMAP server, which has the most problems
associated with transient IMAP connections. Consequently, the user
interface distinguishes between mailboxes and directories: this will
not work well with servers which provide dual use mail folders."
A simple patch from Jonathan McDowell at least makes leaf folders
be treated as folders.
 
* This packaging adds IPv6 support. However, prayer-session uses
libc-client to connect to the IMAP server, and IPv6 support can only
be achieved there by building with the version of libc-client
currently in experimental.
 
* This packaging adds international character support, including
encoding and decoding of modified-UTF-7-encoded folder
names. However, the folder filter still works on the UTF-7 level,
meaning, for example, that a "-" will match any folder with an
encoded character in it, since "-" is the shift-out character that
ends every base64-encoded sequence in UTF-7.
Where it was hardwired to ISO-8859-1 it has been re-wired to UTF-8,
but I may have missed some spots and ISO-8859-1 is still the hardcoded
fallback character set.
 
* The decoding of RFC2047 encoded words has been relaxed, accommodating
to some common encoding errors: spaces are accepted in the encoded
text, as are overlong encoded words.
 
 
Quirks:
 
* If your IMAP server supports STARTTLS, then Prayer (actually the
libc-client IMAP client library) will use it automatically and it
can't be turned off. Make sure that the server name you specify for
imapd_server in prayer.cf matches the Common Name in the SSL
certificate; otherwise libc-client will refuse to accept it.
libc-client IMAP client library) will use it automatically. To
disable, append "/notls" to the IMAP server name(s) specified with
imapd_server. To force TLS, append "/tls". Make sure that the
server name you specify for imapd_server in prayer.cf matches the
Common Name in the SSL certificate; otherwise libc-client will
refuse to accept it. To disable that check, use "/novalidate-cert".
Other switches you can append are listed in the file naming.txt.gz
in the documentation directory of the C-client library.
 
* If your IMAP server is Dovecot, then you must change
prefs_folder_name to something not containing a dot. Unfortunately
this means that the preference folder will be fully visible.
* If your IMAP server is Dovecot (or any of a number of others,
probably), then you must change prefs_folder_name to something not
containing a dot. Unfortunately this means that the preference
folder will be fully visible.
