Changes#

0.7.4.3#

Changes#

  • SieveManager now parses server messages more strictly.

Fixes#

  • SRV records that are longer than 253 characters will now be rejected. This mitigates CVE-2024-3651, which affects idna < v3.7. SieveManager depends on dnspython, which depends on idna. That said, CVE-2024-3651 is ‘only’ a denial-of-service vulnerability and highly unlikely to affect SieveManager.

0.7.4.2#

Fixes#

  • Usernames given on the command line override account sections again.

  • -o overrides account sections again.

  • -c accepts filenames in the current working directory again.

0.7.4.1#

Fixes#

  • Tab-completion no longer repeats the last completions when an argument cannot be auto-completed.

  • Tab-completion for directories should work again.

0.7.4#

Changes#

  • Configuration variables are no longer expanded in filename variables.

  • Removed more’s -p option.

  • Tab-completion now also works in python.

Fixes#

  • put works again.

  • -c works again.

  • ls now displays filenames that are longer than the terminal is wide correctly.

  • An error is raised if password is set, but sieve.cf is group- or world-readable.

  • An error is raised if sieve.cf is group- or world-writable.

  • Tab-completion now also works for filenames that contain whitespace or patterns.

  • Made ManageSieve-parser more robust.

  • Made YAML-escaping more robust.

0.7.3#

Changes#

Fixes#

  • Usernames containing “,” or “=” are now handled correctly by SCRAMs.

  • String preparation of usernames and passwords should now handle bidirectional strings, display property-changing characters, and unassigned code points correctly.

  • Multiple account sections for the same account are now merged, instead of later sections overriding earlier ones.

  • Bash and ZSh completion scripts work again.

  • Errors and ommissions in the documentation.

0.7.2#

  • authmechs has been renamed to saslmechs.

  • Passwords are no longer prompted for on the GUI if there is no controlling terminal.

  • New command about.

Fixes#

  • Prompting for passwords and confirmation works under Linux again.

  • Obsolete mechanisms can be selected with saslmechs again.

  • Configuration sections without login names and aliases are now recognised.

  • OCSP lookup errors are now handled more gracefully.

0.7.1#

Features#

  • New option -s.

  • New option -e.

  • -C can no longer be given to shell commands.

  • -i now only triggers an error if confirmation is required and no terminal is available.

  • ‘#’ now starts comments in the SieveManager shell.

  • SieveManager now comes with a ZSh completion script.

Configuration#

Configuration files have been renamed.

Fixes#

  • Tab-completion for local files now also selects directories.

  • ‘/’ is automatically appended to tab-completed directory names.

Changes#

  • Repaired tab-completion for get and put.

  • Tab-completion now automatically adds the terminating space.

0.6.1#

Features#

  • Connection timeout can now be set.

Configuration#

  • debugauth has been replaced by the logging level “AUTH”.

  • The authentication exchange can no longer be logged at the SASL level.

Fixes#

  • The revocation status of the server’s certificate is now checked, provided the non-standard cryptography Python module is available.

  • Output of cert is now in YAML.

  • ed and vi can create files again.

0.6#

Features#

  • The authentication exchange can now be logged at the SASL level, too.

  • TLS can now be disabled. Only do this is if you are a system administrator and want to test your server configuration.

Fixes#

  • Fixed SCRAM-SHA3-512 authentication.

0.5.1#

“CRAM-MD5” and “LOGIN” are no longer enabled by default.

This is because both of them are, de facto, obsolete (“LOGIN” is non-standard and superseded by “PLAIN”, “CRAM-MD5” was close to being declared “historic” and is superseded by “SCRAM-*”) and because RFC 5804 (sec. 2.1) does not mandate that they must be used over TLS.

They can be enabled by -o authmechs=scram-*,cram-md5,plain,login.

0.5#

First release.
