Version 2.3.0a1

Released 15 February 2006 James 2.3.0a1 is "storage" compatible with 2.2.0 (It uses the same files/db formats of James 2.2.0). Configuration should be updated following this instructions. Mailets developed against 2.2.0 are not binary compatible with 2.3.0 but rebuilding mailets in 2.3.0a1 should be an easy task: just replace "Component"s with "Service"s and replace "MailStore" with "Store" and rebuild. Below are some highlights of features and changes already available:

• Phoenix container upgraded to the latest trunk: better classpath management for mailets
• Derby support: also made it the default storage engine
• JavaMail 1.3.2 (not JavaMail 1.3.3 because of known bugs with Base64 encoding)
• Upgraded dependencies to the latest known stable releases (dnsjava, excalibur components, cornerstone, etc.)
• Removed FetchPop
• Command pattern for SMTPServer configuration (make it easier for developers to customize fastfail)
• Increased components granularity/flexibility: many top level components have been refactored to be more modular (look at the new assembly.xml)
• SMTP server now supports 8BITMIME, ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES, PIPELINING
• Introduced a few experimental S/MIME and Bayesian matcher/mailets
• Fixed more than 40 bugs against 2.2.0
• And much more!
