Major releases of courier, courier-imap, sqwebmail, maildrop, and cone  
packages are available, together with minor releases of courier-unicode,  
courier-authlib, and courier-sox packages.

Changes since the last release:

* courier-unicode: additional C++ template classes that Courier now needs.  
courier-unicode must be updated in order to update all other packages.  
courier-authlib and courier-sox (if installed) also must be updated as well.

* all: fix for a compatibility issue between gcc 16 and autoconf-archive  
macros. The final solution for this issue no longer requires any specific  
manual action, it just works.

* courier-imap: the IMAP server's code was converted and rewritten in C++.

* courier, courier-imap, sqwebmail, maildrop, cone: the internal MIME parser  
they all share was converted and rewritten in C++.

* courier, cone packages: handle the Changes/droppingOfCertPemFile change in  
Fedora 44. Fedora 44 removed some compatibility symlinks for the default  
list of TLS certificate authorities. Depending on when you installed Courier  
or Cone the first time, the TLS_TRUSTCERTS setting in the courier and cone  
configuration files will need to be manually fixed after updating, there's  
no simple way to make this work cleanly. Check TLS_TRUSTCERTS after  
updating. If the referenced file does not exist change it to the default  
value that's shown in the comments.

* mailbot: fix non-plain text autoreplies, removing a broken error message,  
a bonus. Using -m automatically implies -N and everything works out just  
right. Use POSIX exit codes for errors, to fix some issues when invoking  
mailbot from maildrop's .mailfilter

* reformime: handle "binary" transfer encoding analogous to 8bit handling.

* sqwebmail: rewrite large parts of the code in C++, updated to use the new  
C++ MIME parsing libraries. Fixes to autoreplies: when editing mail filters  
peek at the autoreply content, and   block non-functional DSN and non- 
quoting autoreply options when the autoreply content was uploaded as a non  
text-plain message.

* sqwebmail: the algorithm for showing the messages in order by subject is  
now Unicode-aware.

* sqwebmail: minor cosmetic fixes to the spell checking page, the draft  
message page. On the draft message page the address book/nickname behavior  
is changed to immediately inserting the underlying E-mail address into the  
draft message, instead of the nickname which gets replaced with the actual E- 
mail address when the message is sent.

* sqwebmail: the --enable-bannerprog configure option is removed, and  
replaced with a runtime environment variable. Convert the default list of  
timezones in the package from POSIX to Olsen timezones.

* mailbot: do not require either -t or -m to be specified, this is treated  
as an empty template for a reply/forward format that requires one, and do  
not abort if the From: header was missing, the response is logically treated  
as if it was empty.

* Bounce messages from Courier will be more compliant with international  
domain names (RFC 6533 implementation).

* sqwebmail, cone: show E-mail that specifies some unknown character set,  
like "unknown-8bit" as recently seen being produced from some bot. Instead  
of quietly showing nothing, the message gets interpreted as ISO-8859-1, with  
a note to that effect.
