🚨 Important Notice – Migration to DBD::MariaDB & Perl module updates 🚨

This release introduces critical changes that require manual actions:

  1. The MailScanner Perl scripts have been migrated from DBD::mysql to DBD::MariaDB.
  2. You must ensure the Perl module DBD::MariaDB is installed.
  3. DBD::mysql can remain installed — removal is not required. What matters is that MailWatch is able to connect using DBD::MariaDB.

  4. Please verify your MailScanner environment can connect to the database via DBD::MariaDB before upgrading in production.

  5. You must copy the updated .pm (Perl module) files to the correct locations as described in the INSTALL instructions.

  6. Follow the documented paths carefully to avoid missing or broken modules.
  7. If the .pm files are not placed correctly, the new Perl scripts will not function as expected.

⚠️ Without completing these steps, MailWatch will not work properly. Please plan the upgrade accordingly.
