This release contains a lot of enhancements, both bug fixes
and new features from user feedback on 3.5.0, including improved
Evolution LDAP support, LDAP abandon support (faster searches with
Evolution and OSX), experimental windows service wrapper, improved
form based authentication support and ENVELOPE IMAP command support.
I wish to thank Dan Foody for his valuable contributions on
OSX Snow Leopard support (attendee completion in iCal and complex
LDAP filters handling).
Also added an architecture schema on DavMail home page to quickly
describe DavMail features.
LDAP:
- LDAP: implement cn=* filter for Evolution
- LDAP: run searches in separate threads to implement ABANDON, will make searches faster with some clients (Evolution and OSX address book)
- LDAP: implement startsWith on Contact search, only objectclass=* is a full search
- LDAP: fix for iCal4 attendee completion, send localhost if current socket is local, else send fully qualified domain name
- LDAP: major refactoring from Dan Foody to improve complex filters handling
- LDAP: improve contact search, reencode uids to hex to avoid case sensitivity issues
Documentation:
- Doc: Set Dan Foody as main java contributor
- Doc: improve DavMail logo
- Doc: add new Logo, improve internet explorer compatibility
- Doc: Add an architecture schema on site welcome page
- Doc: Improve getting started documentation, explain Exchange 2003 and 2007 paths (/exchange/ and /owa/)

SMTP:
- SMTP: fix by Marc Macenko, case sensitive RCPT TO:
- SMTP: allow lower case commands

- Allow follow redirects on /public GET requests
Caldav:
- Caldav: use permanenturl for Caldav to avoid encoding issues
- Caldav: do not close connection on 401 authorization required, may help iCal authentication
- Caldav: Additional Allday fix for Exchange 2007 and Outlook, implement a failover with a new davmail.timezoneId setting.

- Caldav: Create a new setting davmail.forceActiveSyncUpdate to let users choose to force ActiveSync event. Note: custom iCal or Lightning ICS properties are lost if this option is enabled.
- Caldav: Some Exchange servers redirect to a different host for freebusy, use wide auth scope
- Caldav: Another fix from Dan Foody: improve dumpICS debug option
- Caldav: need to check session on each request, credentials may have changed or session expired
- Caldav: fix regression after ActiveSync patch, PROPPATCH on contentClass removes all custom ICS properties

IMAP:
- IMAP: use permanenturl instead of href to avoid url encoding issues
- IMAP: Convert absolute IMAP path to relative path and detect ISA server cookie starting with cadata (instead of equals cadata)
- IMAP: use upper case NIL in ENVELOPE
- IMAP: improve MimeMessage handling, drop after fetch to avoid keeping full message in memory
- IMAP: fix new ENVELOPE feature, must return encoded values
