Dada Mail 4 2 0 Changelog:

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

Upgrade instructions may be found at:

http://dadamailproject com/support/documentation/upgrade_dada_mail pod html

The installer 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,

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/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:

http://dadamailproject com/support/documentation/basic_two_contemporary_installation pod html

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

http://example com/cgi-bin/dada/mail cgi?f=setup_info

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      => 'Pro Dada 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
