Release notes
=============
Mailu 1.6 - 2019-01-18
----------------------
Its been more than a year since the release of 1.5! And what a year it has been...
More then 800 commits are done since 1.5, containing thousands of additions.
We had the honor of welcoming more and more contributors and we actually established
a dedicated team of trusted contributors.
With new review guidelines we now allow the project to grow without dependence
on any single person. And thus merging pull requests at much shorter time.
On top of that we finally got around to creating a simple test suite on TravisCI,
which is doing some e-mail sending and receiving. This greatly helps the reviewing process.
For a complete overview of changes, see our `changelog`_.
Here we'll try to give you the highlights.
.. _`changelog`: https://github.com/Mailu/Mailu/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
New functionality
`````````````````
We offer a lot new functions in the user experience. Some of the highlights would be quota
support from the admin interface, optional user sign up with recaptcha, auto-reply start date,
and a client setup page.
Mailu now also offers a `setup utility`_.
This utility helps users to generate a `docker-compose.yml` and `mailu.env` through guided steps.
Documentation
`````````````
Quite some efforts were done in expanding the documentation of Mailu.
We've added support for :ref:`kubernetes`, `Docker Swarm`_ and a :ref:`faq` section.
There is now also a section on running the Mailu web interfaces behind :ref:`traefik_proxy`.
We now also Dockerized the documentation, allowing for easy local running and versions
management on our web server.
.. _`Docker Swarm`: https://github.com/Mailu/Mailu/blob/master/docs/swarm/master/README.md
Back-end
````````
Lots and lots of hours went in to the back-end. Work on numerous bugs,
increased the general performance and allowing for better maintainability.
We've reworked the complete interface with the database. All queries are now done
through the Admin container, with that being the single point of contact with the
database. Now we also support the usage of MySQL and PostgreSQL databases and Mailu
comes with its own PostgreSQL image! This allows for Mailu to be used in larger scaled
operations.

Upgrading
`````````
We've done some pretty intrusive works on the DB migrations scripts. Although thoroughly
tested, we would recommend users to create a backup copy of ``/mailu/data/main.db`` somewhere.
Use the `setup utility`_ to obtain new ``docker-compose.yml`` and ``mailu.env`` files.
For this upgrade it is necessary to bring the project down and up, due to network definition changes:
.. code-block:: bash
docker-compose pull
docker-compose down --remove-orphans
docker-compose up -d
After everything runs successfully, ``/mailu/certs/dhparam.pem`` is no longer needed and can be deleted.
It's included in the Mailu distribution by default now. Also the old ``.env`` can be deleted.

Use Traefik in another container as central system-reverse-proxy

Traefik as reverse proxy
------------------------
`Traefik`_ is a popular reverse-proxy aimed at containerized systems.
As such, many may wish to integrate Mailu into a system which already uses Traefik as its sole ingress/reverse-proxy.
