Changes

2.1

Major refactoring to the internal code to bring it current with the released version of CDI.
List URLs can now be any URL that points to the SubEtha HTTP server.
Replaced the Lucene direct-access code with Hibernate Search.
Updated all third-party jars to modern versions.
Fixed a longstanding bug deleting lists.
A handful of miscellaneous bug fixes.

Lots of internal changes, few external changes. The most important change is that SubEtha now runs on the "current" version of Resin (>= 4.0.9).

You will need to rebuild the fulltext index (from the Site Status page). See UpgradingVersions.

2.0

For 2.0, SubEtha was ported to Resin 4.0 (see WhyResin).
Many architectural changes were made but very few features were added.
We've moved to a new home at google code.

Here are some of the changes to note:

Added fallback smtp host for a new integration option
Site admins can change user's names
List owners can change subscribed user's names but only if the names are empty
Updated libraries (Hibernate, Logging, SubethaSMTP)
Updated packaging and docs
Developed and tested on MySQL and PostgresSQL
Allow "sent on behalf of" emails (ie. Sender: and From: are different)
Denser encoding for shorter VERP envelope sender length
Minor HTML changes on various pages.
Added Hessian remote protocol support (removed "WS" remoting)
Indexing and Cleanup start shortly after deployment, and periodically as before
Much smaller memory footprint, and much quicker startup (20s on dev machines vs minutes for JBoss)

If you are upgrading from a previous version, these changes must be made to the database (these are for MySQL, your database data types may be different):

  ALTER TABLE Mail CHANGE fromField sender TEXT;
  ALTER TABLE Mail CHANGE envelopeSender senderNormal TEXT NOT NULL;

1.0.2

Workaround problem with building ear on JDK6 and deploying on JDK5.
Updated Velocity from 1.4 to 1.5.
Added integration documentation for Sendmail and Qmail.
Include PlumberBean in order to allow mail-service.xml overrides for unit testing.
Reverted URL redirection changes for proxied subetha installations.

1.0.1

Fixed problem with the AppendFooterFilter not properly encapsulating the footer in multipart mime messages.
Updated to JBoss 4.0.5.GA from the JEMS 1.2.0 GA installer.
Ant build system has been rewritten from scratch.
The ready-to-run (RTR) release is now based off a copy of JBoss that we maintain in our svn repo
Added a new filter mode for archive rendering (mail web view).
Filter exceptions no longer stop processing of the message.
Messages without subjects were throwing exceptions if the SubjectFilter was enabled.
Added ability to download/export messages.
UI tweaks and improvements.

Added $archiveUrl context variable to the AppendFooterFilter.
You can now remove any email address as long as you have more than one.
Various minor UI improvements.

NOTE: The names of some of the roles have changed. You must update your database before SubEtha will function. Shut down the JBoss instance running SubEtha and run the following queries:

update RolePermission set perm='EDIT_SUBSCRIPTIONS' where perm='UNSUBSCRIBE_OTHERS'

update RolePermission set perm='VIEW_NOTES' where perm='READ_NOTES'
