Major changes since the 3.0.x series
====================================

* Sieve bug fixes and features
* Replication safety improvements
* Caldav and Carddav improvements
* Support for JMAP core protocol (:rfc:`8620`)
* Support for JMAP Mail (:rfc:`8621`)
* Experimental support for JMAP Contacts (requires
`jmap_nonstandard_extensions: yes` in :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)`)
* Experimental support for JMAP Calendars (requires
`jmap_nonstandard_extensions: yes` in :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)`)
* Xapian bug fixes
* Improvements to Annotations handling
* DRAC support has been deprecated
* Support for Prometheus stats
* SNMP stats support has been deprecated
* Removed support for the Sphinx backend to squatter searches
* New cyrus.index format v16 included since 3.1.5 - adds unseen count and
createdmodseq to index header, savedate and createdmodseq to index records
* Support for WebSockets
* Support for HTTP/2.0
* Experimental support for Zeroskip database format
* Intermediate mailboxes are now recorded in mailboxes database
* Conversations database format update - adds flags and internaldate fields,
and is now versioned for future-compatibility. You will need to rebuild
your conversations databases with :cyrusman:`ctl_conversationsdb(8)` and
the `-b` switch to benefit from this
* IMAP FETCH accepts two new data items, MAILBOXIDS and MAILBOXES, which
respectively return the unique ids or names of the containing mailboxes of
each message in the sequence (for best performance, rebuild your
conversations databases as above)
* :cyrusman:`mbpath(8)` is now much more useful
* Twoskip database format now supports shared locks, and ensures record
headers do not span disk block boundaries
* All Cyrus binaries now use real sysexits exit codes instead of mapping
nearly everything to EX_TEMPFAIL
* CyrusDB errors now syslog the actual error instead of just "cyrusdb error"
* New `allowdeleted` :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` option (default off), which
allows admin users to see deleted mailboxes and expunged messages over IMAP
* :cyrusman:`cyr_virusscan(8)` now supports custom templates for notifications
sent about infected messages that have been deleted
* :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` options that represent a time duration now accept
'd', 'h', 'm', 's' suffixes rather than arbitrary units
* The `tls_server_cert` and `tls_server_key` :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` options
now allow two certificate/key pairs (e.g. RSA and EC) to be used. Thanks

* Mailbox create/delete/rename are now performed under a lock on the user's
namespace, to prevent races (especially during big renames)
* The :cyrusman:`cyr_info(8)` `conf-lint` subcommand no longer complains
about channel-prefixed sync options
* New `master_bind_errors_fatal` :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` option (default
off), with which master will refuse to start if any of the configured
services are unable to successfully bind their port. The default and legacy
behaviour is for master to start with the affected services disabled, and
not try to start them again until a SIGHUP is received
* New `autocreate_acl` :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` option, for specifying ACLs
to use when mailboxes are created by `autocreate_inbox_folders`
* New `zoneinfo_dir` :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` option, for specifying the
directory Cyrus should look for timezone definitions in. The default is
to let libical find them itself. If the `tzdist` http module is enabled,
this option is mandatory.
* The iso-8859-1 charset is now treated as an alias for windows-1252, as per
`WHATWG Encoding for emails and websites
<https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#names-and-labels>`_

Updates to default configuration
================================

The :cyrusman:`cyr_info(8)` `conf`, `conf-all` and `conf-default` subcommands
now accept an `-s <version>` argument to highlight :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)`
options that are new or whose behaviour has changed since the specified
version. We recommend using this when evaluating a new Cyrus version to
check which configuration options you will need to re-examine and maybe change
during the process.

* The `specialusealways` option is now enabled by default. It must
explicitly be disabled for interoperability with legacy clients that
can't handle RFC 6154 attributes in extended LIST commands.
* The values accepted by `expunge_mode` have changed, please see the
documentation for more information about the changes.
* The legacy GETANNOTATIONS/SETANNOTATIONS IMAP commands will no longer
work unless `annotation_enable_legacy_commands` is enabled.
* The `outbox_sendlater` option and its functionality have been removed.
* The `tzdist` http module now finds its timezone data directory according
to the new `zoneinfo_dir` :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)` option, instead of
being hardcoded to "{configdirectory}/zoneinfo". If you are using this
module, you MUST now set this option explicitly. Calendaring services
will use the same timezone definitions.
