Larry and I have been dogfooding them, and all the bugs I encountered in 2.3.0 seem to be fixed now. I’m waiting for the next quarterly branch (4 days) and then the ports will be committed. If you’d like to use them before then, you can grab them at https://people.freebsd.org/~adamw/dovecot-2.3.1.tar.gz If you encounter any problems, please do let us know! There’s a pkg-message and there’ll be an UPDATING entry, but it bears repeating here too: read https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 for some of the potentially breaking changes. Merge the changes from the 2.3 conf files carefully---Dovecot 2.3 will most likely fail to start with unmodified 2.2 conf files. I copied the 2.3 conf files anew and recreated my setup, and you might consider doing the same thing. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org http://www.adamw.org
