ChangeLog contains somewhat more exact entries. But I don't think many people care about the exact reason. For example the last 3 could have been instead (their hg commit messages):

- Maildir: Use i_stream_stat() instead of i_stream_get_fd()+fstat(). Fixes zlib plugin. - Maildir: Make sure messages are removed from index if they are deleted externally from new/. - message header parser: Don't set hdr->continues=TRUE when hdr- >eoh=TRUE.

But no one would have any idea what last 2 of those would be useful for.

Hi

Sorry if this a FAQ, but this updates report looks rather vague. The four statements all say that "in case of xxx, yyy /could/ happen". Wouldn't it be better to document what the actual bug in in the old version, as in "buffer overflow at xxx" etc?

Fixes a couple of bugs in v1.1.15's changes. Hopefully the last v1.1
release before v1.2.0.

- v1.1.15 could have crashed if mailbox-closing command was pipelined
          after a mailbox-accessing command.
        - v1.1.15's zlib plugin may have caused crashes when fetching
          INTERNALDATE.
- Maildir: If messages had been deleted externally from new/ directory
          and mailbox was opened with EXAMINE, Dovecot didn't immediately
          notice that the messages were deleted.
        - If message body started with a space, some operations could have
          assert-crashed.

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
