GPG signature for mairix-0.17.1.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Fix filename format generated in the /cur/ directory for maildir mfolders.
• Syntax fix in configure script

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.17.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Support gzipped mbox folders (any file matched by a mbox= line in the config file is considered as a gzipped mbox if its name ends in .gz)
• Rework directory traversal for the '...' construct to speed up indexing and the check that mfolder isn't going to overwrite a real folder when searching.
• Check whether database exists before attempting to do searching.
• Matched new maildir messages go in /new/ subdirectory of maildir mfolder.
• Fix lots of compiler warnings generated by gcc4.x
• Don't create and immediately scrub database entries for empty mbox folders.
• Fix usage() info for bare word in searching
• Allow '.' on the ends of numeric filenames in MH folders (to work with Evolution)
• Update .PHONY target so that 'make install' etc are more reliable.
• Add --version switch
• Fix bug with size argument passed to memset
• Add X-source-folder header to indicate the original folder of a match found in an mbox.
• Migration to git for revision control.

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.16.1.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Remove lockfile if the program terminates abnormally.

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.16.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Home directory (~) and environment variable ($foo / ${foo}) expansion in the .mairixrc file
• Add -Q flag to skip database integrity checks during indexing (equivalently the nochecks option in .mairixrc file). This speeds up indexing but loses some robustness.
• Add ^ word prefix to require substring search to be left-anchored
• Split 'make clean' into separate clean and clean_docs
• Improve some error messages
• Add online help entries for -o and -d
• Don't write out the database if there are no changes found during indexing.
• Fix stale information about the 'and' and 'or' delimiters in the online help.
• Add the capability to omit particular folders from indexing (omit keyword in .mairixrc file.) This allows broad wildcards to be used with selected folders removed from the wildcard which is much more convenient in many set-ups.
• Avoid writing matches to any folder on the list of folders to be indexed (affects both mfolder option and argument of -o command line switch.) This prevents disasterous loss of messages in the event of trying to overwrite an wanted folder with the matches.
• Implement dot-locking on the database file to prevent corruption due to concurrent updates. Add --unlock file to forcibly remove a stray lockfile.
• Display message path in warning messages from rfc822 parsing.

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.15.2.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Fix segfault if messages are deleted during indexing.

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.15.1.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Fix bugs in handling Pine's mbox file formats.
• Fix minor typo in the dump output

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.15.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Migrate to GNU Arch for hosting the development archive
• In mbox parsing, handle return path in 'From ' line only being a local part (reported by several people)
• Don't output number of matched messages in raw mode (to make output more useful to scripts etc) (Samuel Tardieu)
• Fix vfolder->mfolder in dotmairixrc.eg (reported by several people)
• Handle spaces in multipart message boundary strings (Chung-chieh Shan)
• Be more tolerant of bad multipart message boundary separators (Chung-chieh Shan)
• Add rudimentary database dump command (-d/--dump)
• Fix bug in handling of per-database hash key
• Fix casting between pointers to 8-byte v 4-byte integers on 64-bit platforms
• Fix calling ctype.h functions with negative arguments

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.14.1.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Bug fix : splitting of messages in mboxes was too strict regarding whitespace

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.14.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Bug fix : using path search (p:) with mbox folders didn't work
• Update run-time help

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.13.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Fixes to support the mbox format used by Mozilla mail
• When creating mfolder directories for maildir/mh, remove existing non-directory at the same path, if present. When creating mbox mfolder file, complain if there's already a directory at the same path and exit.
• Switch from the term "virtual folder" to "match folder"
• Fix bug in path matches (p:) containing upper-case letters - previously they matched on corresponding all lower-case paths.

• source code by HTTP

GPG signature for mairix-0.12.tar.gz

Release notes:

• Indexing of mbox folders in addition to the existing maildir & MH support
• Output to mbox format mfolder
• Return exit status 1 if no messages are matched in search mode, and exit status 2 for all error conditions.
• Allow wildcards to be used in specifying maildir and mh folder paths.
• Searching on messages having a particular Message-ID (m:msgid expression in search mode).
• When indexing whole email addresses, '+' is now considered a valid character.
• Use ',' instead of '+' in search expressions, and '/' instead of ','. This is to allow '+' to be used inside email addresses that are being searched for. The '/' character is traditionally associated with meaning 'or', so it made more sense to move ',' to mean 'and'. (Unfortunately, there were very few metacharacters left which don't have some special meaning to shells, and I wanted to avoid the need to quote or escape the search expressions.)
• Bug fix checking return status of mmap.
• Handle ">From " at the start of the message headers
• Handle mis-formatted encoding strings "7 bit" and "8 bit"
• Make every database use a random seed for the token hash function (to prevent denial of service attacks against mairix through carefully crafted messages.)
• Rename some options in the mairixrc file, to put the folder formats on an equal footing.
• Properly handle the case where a maildir mfolder exists but one or more of the new,tmp,cur subdirectories is missing.
• Add configure script (not autoconf-based)

• source code by HTTP

• Detect failed malloc (out of memory) conditions properly and report it.
• Improved date specification syntax for d: option
• Allow mfolder to be an absolute path or relative to current directory, instead of just relative to base directory.

• source code by HTTP

• Add 'raw' mode for searching.
• When purging, only print the pass[12] message in verbose mode
• Add an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS file.
• Hack to handle missing NAME_MAX on various non-Linux systems
• Improve mairix.spec file for RPM building
• Change default value for prefix in Makefile to make it more standard.
