Here's how the changelog is shaping up: 


Changes 4.2.0

Dada Mail Installer

Dada Mail now comes with an installer - manually setting up and configuring Dada Mail is now longer needed. Heavens be praised.

Dada Installer directions may be found at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_2_0-rc2/manually_install_dada_mail.pod.html

Upgrade instructions may be found at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_2_0-rc2/upgrade_dada_mail.pod.html


The installar script may also be run via the command line - instructions can be found on how to use it, by invoking the script with the, --help flag,

 shell>./installer.cgi --help

Installation Terminology Changes

The, "Advanced" Installation of Dada Mail is just known as a, "Manual" installation of Dada Mail.

The Dada Mail Installer will install Dada Mail the same way as one would install Dada Mail manually. Directions may be found here:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_2_0-rc2/manually_install_dada_mail.pod.html

The, "Basic" Installation method is not recommended or supported. If upgrading from a, "Basic" installation, it's recommended to move to a more contemporary installation setup:

Setup Info Screen

The, "Setup Info" Screen, that you can access using this URL:

http://example.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi

has been completely rewritten. In light of the Installer, it does not attempt to help configure Dada Mail for you, but will tell you what type of installation it recognizes, will present to you the entire contents of your, dada/DADA/Config.pm file as well as your .dada_config file and will show you how all config variables are being interpreted.

$ADMIN_MENU Changes

The $ADMIN_MENU variable has been changed to add the, "Dada Mail Setup Info" menu item. It looks like this:

        {-Title      => '<!-- tmpl_var PROGRAM_NAME --> Setup Info',
         -Title_URL  => "$S_PROGRAM_URL?f=setup_info",
         -Function   => 'setup_info',
         -Activated  => 1,
        },

MySQL 4-specific schema REMOVED

The MySQL schema shipped for Dada Mail, specifically for v4 of MySQL has been removed. The reason for the schema was more because of UTF-8 incompatibilities, rather than problems with this version of MySQL v4.

Bug Fixes

Profile Email Addresses aren't normalized for case sensitivity

http://github.com/justingit/dada-mail/issues#issue/60

PlainText Backend - subscribed addresses with a, ' (single quote) will disrupt subscriptions
