Sad, had planed to migrate my dovecot cluster (2x director 2x IMAP from 2.2.36 
(CentOS 7) to 2.4 (AlmaLinux 9, when 2.4 is released).

So, does anyone already built a STABLE(!) alternative for director?

@Aki: Is dovecot IMAP 2.4 expected to still work with dovecot director 2.2 (or 
2.3)?
In this case I may just upgrade the IMAP Servers and leave the 
director/loadbalancer servers for some time.

In general: Is the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 or 2.4. smooth or are there a lot of 
breaking changes and the upgrade would have to be planend thoroughly?

thanks,
Steven
