'''Stable versions'''

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.0'''

* Plugins that worked in previous stable version can be broken due to changes in structure of function files.

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.2'''
* Calendar plugin is broken.
** Fixes:
*** a) Use the one that is available in 1.4.1
*** b) Use {{shared_calendars}} plugin
*** c) Apply [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/plugins/calendar/calendar_data.php?r1=1.7.2.2&r2=1.7.2.5 fix]

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.3'''

* Loop in reply code
** Fixed in 1.4.3a

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.3a'''

* Newmail sounds don't work due to incorrect html formating. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/plugins/newmail/setup.php?r1=1.17.2.2&r2=1.17.2.4 patch].
* German translation displays html entities in Addresses page.
** Fixed in !SquirrelMail locales package [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=311&package_id=110388&release_id=257364 1.4.3-20040801]

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.3, 1.5.0 or later.'''
* Translations that work in previous versions are not working even when translation files are installed and webserver is restarted.
** !SquirrelMail enabled use of full locale name in all ISO-8859-x based translations. Used locale name is not compatible with glibc library changes made by some Linux distributions (namely Mandrake). See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/functions/i18n.php?r1=1.199&r2=1.200 fix]

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.4'''

* Administrator plugin does not work with uid based authentication. Incorrect uid check. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/plugins/administrator/auth.php?r1=1.10.2.3&r2=1.10.2.4 patch].
* Unknown function call, if hardcoded signature size quota is exceeded. Incomplete backport from devel. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/functions/display_messages.php?r1=1.57.2.13&r2=1.57.2.14 patch1] and [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/src/options.php?r1=1.121.2.9&r2=1.121.2.10 patch2].
* Address book can add entries only to personal address book. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/src/addressbook.php?r1=1.58.2.16&r2=1.58.2.17 patch].
* If edit button in Address listing is selected without selecting address book entry, "Unknown error" message is produced. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/src/addressbook.php?r1=1.58.2.17&r2=1.58.2.18 patch]
* Thai translation is not available.
** Translation was removed because it contains less than 50% translated strings and is not updated.
* !SquirrelMail logs out before calling the logout hook, thus breaking some plugins. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/functions/auth.php?r1=1.47&r2=1.48 patch1] and [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/src/signout.php?r1=1.76&r2=1.77 patch2].

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.5'''

See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/class/mime/Message.class.php?r1=1.17.2.8&r2=1.17.2.10 fix1] and [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/class/deliver/Deliver.class.php?r1=1.18.2.22&r2=1.18.2.23 fix2].
* E_NOTICE errors in search page. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/src/search.php?r1=1.92.2.10&r2=1.92.2.11 fix]
* Selection boxes are empty in SquirrelSpell plugin on Windows servers. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/plugins/squirrelspell/modules/check_me.mod?r1=1.10.2.10&r2=1.10.2.11 fix].

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.6'''

* Mailbox caching issues for deleted messages in second and later pages in paginated display mode. Possible errors when switching from paginated to non-paginated message listing mode. See !SquirrelMail tracker [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1304408&group_id=311&atid=423679 1304408]

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.7'''

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.8'''

* Plain text attachments that contain long lines are rejected by mail server with 534 SMTP error because they aren't properly encoded by !SquirrelMail. See tracker: [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1473714&group_id=311&atid=100311 1473714].

'''!SquirrelMail 1.4.11'''

*  Attachments do not persist when the address book is used to select the destination addresses [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1867203&group_id=311&atid=100311 1867203]

----

'''Development versions'''

'''!SquirrelMail 1.5.0'''

* Development/test release
* TLS connections are broken
** See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/functions/imap_general.php?r1=1.179&r2=1.180 fix]

* INBOX folder is not accessable
** Fixes:
*** a) subscribe to INBOX
*** b) disable advanced tree code and use oldway folder listing (11. Tweaks)
*** c) Use 1.5.1.

* ''Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this''
** If you use PHP 5.0.x, use latest stable !SquirrelMail version (currently 1.4.4) or 1.5.1.
** If you still can reproduce this error in latest stable version with PHP {{register_globals}} set to {{off}}, provide more details to !SquirrelMail developers.

'''!SquirrelMail 1.5.1'''

* New Mail plugin follows folder preferences and displays total number of messages.
* Mailbox caching breaks creation of special folders, if folders are not subscribed. Fixed in src/left_main.php v.1.240.
* Logins fail in IE for Mac. Used cookie format is not compatible with this browser. Browser appends semicolon to cookie path.
* Logins fail in PHP 4.4.2+ and 5.1.2+ - PHP header() function changes broke custom !SquirrelMail cookie code. [http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1597162 1597162 tracker]
* ''preg_split() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given'' in {{functions/imap_messages.php}}, see [http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1543573 1543573 tracker]

'''!SquirrelMail 1.5.2 and later'''

* Script layout is changed. If plugins are written for older !SquirrelMail code and load {{include/validate.php}}, {{functions/i18n.php}}, or {{functions/constants.php}}, code will break.
*'''Undefined index: imapConnection FILE: /path/to/squirrelmail/templates/default/left_main.tpl''' when using the default template set.  This variable was pulled due to some versions of PHP causing Apache to segfault.  Workaround is to use the default_advanced template set. (NOTE: this issue may be fixed more recently(?))

----

'''Specific PHP versions'''

'''PHP 4.4.5'''
PHP 4.4.5 causes Apache to segfault when calling session_register on an undefined variable.  There is a !SquirrelMail bug [http://squirrelmail.org/bugs/1664155 #1664155] related to this issue, but this is actually [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40514 PHP Bug #40514].  There is a workaround listed on the !SquirrelMail bug.

'''PHP 4.4.0 or later + {{register_globals=on}} + !SquirrelMail 1.4.5 or older'''

* Variable corruption in messages with attachments. See [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/src/download.php?r1=1.107.2.8&r2=1.107.2.10 fix].

'''PHP 4.4.1'''

* Broken PHP {{next()}} and {{prev()}} functions. Use PHP 4.4.0 or 4.4.x-dev snapshot. See [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35067 PHP bug report] and [http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/ext/standard/basic_functions.c?r1=1.543.2.51.2.3&r2=1.543.2.51.2.4 patch]. Issue can be solved by enabling server side sorting in !SquirrelMail ({{conf.pl -> 4. General Options -> 11. Allow server-side sorting}}) if your IMAP server supports it. Please note, that this is only quick workaround and unfixed PHP 4.4.1 setup is unreliable.
* Broken {{mb_encode_mimeheader()}} function. Japanese translation creates broken email headers. See [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35700 PHP bug report]

'''PHP 5.1'''

* Can't send emails. Incorrect escape of curly brackets in {{sqimap_append()}} function. Fixed in 1.4.6 and 1.5.1. See [https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1366982 tracker] and [http://squirrelmail.cvs.sf.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/functions/imap_general.php?r1=1.140.2.29&r2=1.140.2.30 patch] and [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35411 PHP bug report].
