Last night I have uploaded postfix-2.6.0-RC1, the first Postfix
2.6 stable release candidate. The documentation still needs some
work, and depending on time I may still be able to slip in some
small amount of new code. The biggest changes since Postfix 2.5 are:
- Automatic stress-dependent behavior is turned on (STRESS_README).
The rationale is that when mail performance is down the tubes,
then it is OK to make drastic temporary configuration changes.
- Support for multiple Postfix instances (MULTI_INSTANCE_README).
This also involves a minor file reorganization where some files
are moved from $config_directory to $daemon_directory.
As usual in the past few years, no Postfix development happened in
February-March as this is the conference paper review season. The
documentation was not ready in January, so the Posfix 2.6 release
had to wait until I have time.
Expect to have a stable release later this month.
