Uhm. Just got this from Mark Crispin, who seems to be the main developer
of imap-uw these days. Would've be nice with some more info. :|

Hi,

In the lack of a ChangeLog, could someone please brief me on changes
from imap-2000c to now. imap-README mentions bugs, and Mark Crispin has
been recommending using the latest snapshots on this list. Are there any
critical fixes since 2000c? Anything security wise? Why is development
snapshots recommended when they are updated all the time? Users usually
prefer more stable releases. Are there any plans on moving the imap.tar.Z
link to a more fixed release?

Regards,

--

The fact that the imap.tar.Z pointer is at the imap-2001 beta snapshot
indicates that there is a reason why I feel that new installations should use
it instead of the release version, and that existing installations are
encouraged to upgrade.

You can therefore infer that there is at least one critical fix in imap-2001.
