PostfixAdmin 3.0 released

[Christian Boltz]

I just released the long awaited PostfixAdmin 3.0.

Right. there isn't a beta label anymore :-) It's more than two years since we released the first beta for 3.0 (and even more years of working towards 3.0) so I think we can safely drop the beta label.

PostfixAdmin 3.0 is now officially the stable version of PostfixAdmin. I'll keep the 2.3 branch maintained for a while if someone finds critical or security bugs, but nevertheless it's probably a good idea to upgrade to 3.0 whenever you have some time.

Major changes since the 2.3.8 release:

• new command-line interface "postfixadmin-cli"
• major rewrite:
  • move lots of code into *Handler classes, which are used by web and command-line interface
  • replace various edit-*.php and create-*.php with a generic editform (edit.php, editform.tpl)
  • this also means it's easy to customize forms, add fields etc.(see $CONF['*_struct_hook'])
  • lots of code cleanup, remove/merge lots of duplicated code and templates
  • use smarty for templates
• add ability to choose activation date, end date and reply interval for
  vacation message
• various enhancements everywhere
• redesign login page, list and edit pages (goodbye, green!) and make them wider
• several new config options and changed defaults
• NOTE: changes from the 2.3.x releases also apply to this version

Major changes since the 2.93 aka 3.0 beta3 release:

• add sqlite backend option
• add configurable smtp helo (CONF["smtp_client"])
• new translation: ro (Romanian)
• language update: tw, cs, de
• fix escaping in gen_show_status() (could be used to DOS list-virtual by creating a mail address with special chars)
• add CSRF protection for POST requests
• list.tpl: base edit/editactive/delete links in list.tpl on $RAW_item to avoid double escaping, and fix some corner cases
• editform.tpl: add {if} block for description column for easier customization
• use smarty html_options instead of select_options()
• remove advice about using SetEnv for database password
• include_once(config.local.php) instead of include()ing it to prevent include loops if someone copies config.inc.php to config.local.php
• vacation.pl: encode wide-chars utf8 in mail body, mime-decode original subject
• fix db_quota_text() for postgresql (concat() vs. ||)
• change default date for 'created' and 'updated' columns from 0000-00-00 (which causes problems with MySQL strict mode) to 2000-01-01
• allow punicode even in TLDs
• update Smarty to 3.1.29
• add checks to login.php and cli to ensure database layout is up to date
• whitelist '-1' as valid value for postfixadmin-cli
• don't stripslashes() the password in pacrypt
• various small bugfixes

See CHANGELOG.TXT for the full changelog. If you upgrade from 2.3.x, please also read the sections about the 2.9x (aka 3.0 beta) releases.
