Notable changes to this project are documented in the current file. For more
details about individual changes, see the Git log. You should read this before
upgrading Mailu as some changes will include useful notes.
Upgrade should run fine as long as you generate a new compose or stack
configuration and upgrade your mailu.env.
There are some changes to the configuration overrides. Override files are now mounted read-only into the containers.
The Dovecot and Postfix overrides are moved in their own sub-directory.
If there are local override files, they will need to be moved from overrides/ to overrides/dovecot and overrides/postfix/.
See https://mailu.io/1.8/faq.html#how-can-i-override-settings for all the mappings.
Please not that the shipped image for PostgreSQL database is deprecated.
We advise to switch to an external database server.
