Release Information
update (19.08.2012): Gmvault v1.7.w1-beta for Windows plateform is a small bug-fixing version re-enabling the scroll bars in the gmvault shell.
Gmvault v1.7-beta includes the following new features and bug fixes:
Added new Features:
- GTalk chat logs are now backed up when the Chats label can be accessed via IMAP.
- GTalk chats can be restored in any accounts in the label gmvault-chats as the official Gmail Chats label in read-only.
- Add the check command for cleaning your Gmvault db. With check, Gmvault-db will reflect your Gmail account and emails that have been trashed on Gmail will be deleted from the Gmvault-db.
- The check option used to keep in sync the Gmvault-db with your Gmail account is now by default activated in the sync mode. Use option --check-db no to deactivate it.
Beware if you have a Gmvault db containg emails from multiple accounts: You will have to resync in quick mode with --db-cleaning no with both accounts to no have part of it deleted.
- Add options --chats-only and --emails-only to synchronise only emails or chats.
- Create default configuration file $HOME/.gmvault/gmvault_defaults.conf in order to make some options customisable.
- Change quick sync and restore time to 7 days. It can be configured in $HOME/.gmvault/gmvault_defaults.conf.
- The default dir $HOME/.gmvault can now be moved with the ENV variable GMVAULT_DIR. [Github features #57].
Bug Fixes:
- Memory Consumption bug in socket and imap_lib layer fixed. [Github issue #42, #54, #45]
- Stability dramatically improved. Cpu infinite Consumption bug fixed in ssl layer. [Github issue #51, #45]
- When Restored, unread messages are now always marked as unread in Gmail. A bug was preventing them to be restored as unread in some cases.
- Restore emails in chronologic order. Before they were restored in filesystem listing order.
- Mac OSX and Linux Gmvault clients can now be contained by a directory name with a space character.
- Handle NULL character in emails that was preventing them from being restored. The emails are now moved to the quarantine area.
