[Ann] managesieve v0.8 released
by Hartmut Goebel March 18, 2024

March 18, 2024

Announcing: managesieve 0.8 RFC-5804 Manage Sieve client library for remotely managing Sieve scripts, including an user application (the interactive 'sieveshell'). :Homepage: https://managesieve.readthedocs.io/ :Author: Hartmut Goebel <h.goebel(a)crazy-compilers.com> :License: - for the managesieve module: Python-Software-Foundation-like License … [View More]- for sieveshell and test suite: GNU Public Licence v3 (GPLv3) :Quick Installation: pip install -U managesieve :Tarballs: https://pypi.org/project/managesieve/#files What is managesieve? --------------------- A ManageSieve client library for remotely managing Sieve scripts, including an user application (the interactive 'sieveshell'). Sieve scripts allow users to filter incoming email on the mail server and are supported by many IMAP servers. The ManageSieve protocol allows managing Sieve scripts on a remote mail server. These servers are commonly sealed so users cannot log into them, yet users must be able to update their scripts on them. This is what for the "ManageSieve" protocol is. For more information about the ManageSieve protocol see `RFC 5804 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5804>`_. This module allows accessing a Sieve-Server for managing Sieve scripts there. It is accompanied by a simple yet functional user application 'sieveshell'. Changes since last release --------------------------------------- * Now supports Python 3.6 to 3.12. :managesieve: - Add support for the UNAUTHENTICATE command. - Add a socket timeout parameter. - Add support for IPv6. - Allow disabling certificate verification. - Follow the 'Logging for a Library' guideline. - BREAKING: Rearrange DEBUG logging levels to be more reasonable. See `docs/Logging.rst` for details. :sieveshell: - Add option '--no-tls-verify'. - Improve error message if TLS certificate verification fails. - Keep line-endings on file IO. - Remove temporary file on successful edit, too. - Fix: Pass to sieve.login() the Authorization ID :general: - Add support for Python 3.12. - Improve testing, add a tox.ini file and add CI/CD. - Fix SPDX license identifier. - Fix several typos. - Lint all the code. - Remove unused code. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel(a)crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible | [View Less]

SCons 4.7.0 Release
by Bill Deegan March 18, 2024

March 18, 2024

A new SCons release, 4.7.0, is now available on the SCons download page: https://scons.org/pages/download.html Here is a summary of the changes since 4.6.0: NEW FUNCTIONALITY ----------------- - Method unlink_files was added to the TestCmd class that unlinks a list of files from a specified directory. An attempt to unlink a file is made only when the file exists; otherwise, the file is ignored. CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY --------------------------------------- - Add … [View More]an optional argument list string to configure's CheckFunc method so that the generated function argument list matches the function's prototype when including a header file. Fixes GH Issue #4320 - Now supports pre-release Python 3.13 - Support for Python versions without support for the `threading` package has been removed - Dropped three unused warning classes: DeprecatedSourceCodeWarning, TaskmasterNeedsExecuteWarning, DeprecatedMissingSConscriptWarning. * Two warning classes that are actually used were added to manpage section on enabling warnings (cache-cleanup-error, future-reserved-variable). FIXES ----- - Fix of the --debug=sconscript option to return exist statements when using return statement with stop flag enabled - MSVS: prevent overwriting the SCons environment variable SCONS_HOME with the OS environment value of SCONS_HOME in the msvs tool. - MSVC: Fix the detection of Visual Studio 2015 Express ('14.0Exp') by adding a registry key definition and updating the installation root-relative registry value at runtime for the location of the VC folder. - MSVS: Fix the msvs project generation test for MSVS 6.0 to use the correct name of the generated project file. - MSVS: Fix the msvs project generation test scripts so that "false positive" tests results are not possible when the initial build is successful and the command-line build of the project file fails. - On Windows platform, when collecting command output (Configure checks), make sure decoding of bytes doesn't fail. - Documentation indicated that both Pseudo() and env.Pseudo() were usable, but Pseudo() did not work; is now enabled. - Improve handling of file data that SCons itself processes - as in scanners - try harder to decode non-UTF-8 text. - PyPackageDir no longer fails if passed a module name which cannot be found, now returns None. - Add locking around creation of CacheDir config file. Fixes issue #4489. IMPROVEMENTS ------------ - Use of NotImplemented instead of NotImplementedError for special methods of _ListVariable class - The NewParallel scheduler is now the default, the `tm_v2` flag is removed, and the old scheduler is opt-in under `--experimental=legacy_sched`. Additionally, the new scheduler is now used for -j1 builds as well. NOTE: This should significantly improve SCons performance for larger parallel builds (Larger -j values) - CacheDir writes no longer happen within the taskmaster critical section, and therefore can run in parallel with both other CacheDir writes and the taskmaster DAG walk. - The NewParallel scheduler now only adds threads as new work requiring execution is discovered, up to the limit set by -j. This should reduce resource utilization when the achievable parallelism in the DAG is less than the -j limit. - Dumping an environment with `json` formatting will now explicitly specify if a given value cannot be serialized. PACKAGING --------- - Remove unnecessary dependencies on pypi packages from setup.cfg - SCons documentation build can now be controlled through SKIP_DOC variable - rather than just true/false can now specify skip none, skip all, skip pdf docs, skip api docs. DOCUMENTATION ------------- - Fixed the Scanner examples in the User Guide to be runnable and added some more explanation. Clarified discussion of the scanner function in the Scanner Objects section of the manpage. - The manpage entry for Pseudo was clarified. - The manpage entry for SharedLibrary was clarified. - Update API docs for Warnings framework; add two warns to manpage enable/disable control. - More consistent use of &Python; in the manpage. A few links added. A warning about overwriting env['ENV'] and one about Configure checks possibly not running in in no-exec mode also added. - Clarify how SCons finds the project top directory, and what that is used for. - Clarify MergeFlags usage of a dict argument. DEVELOPMENT ----------- - Fix sphinx config to handle SCons versions with post such as: 4.6.0.post1 - Created SCons.Util.sctyping to contain complex type information, allowing for repo-wide type hinting without causing cyclical dependencies.
