    • Commandline interface is now documented

3.1.1

release-date:

2019-05-28

  • Require newer versions of python-daemon to properly fix the install issues we had previously (#89)

  • Fixed a bug in salmon.queue.Queue that mangled mail if it was added as bytes rather than a message-like object (#97)

3.1.0

release-date:

2019-01-17

  • Support for Python 3.7

  • Don’t install python-daemon 2.2.0, it breaks things (#89)

  • Remove untested spelling function (#86)

    • The spelling function did very little other than assume it could load PyEnchant and then return True if it couldn’t. If you really miss this function, submit a PR with something that actually works and has tests!

release-date:

2018-07-21

  • Fixed a bug where the version string would be a bytes literal under Python 3 (#83)

3.0.0

release-date:

2017-12-31

3.0.0rc1

release-date:

2017-12-31

  • Removed lots of cruft (#19)

  • Moved from modargs to argparse - command line interface has changed (#28)

    • Improved tests for command line (#47)

  • Moved from PyDNS to dnspython

  • Tests can now be run without having to start a log-server first (#6)

  • MailRequest objects are now wrappers around Python’s email.message.Message class. (#40)

    • Deserializing incoming messages is now done in a slightly more lazy fashion

    • Also allows access to the “pristine” Message object without having to back-convert

    • Header setting now replaces by default (#44)

  • End support of Python 2.6 (#42)

  • Settings no longer limited to per app “config” module (#38)

  • Allow salmon.server.Relay to talk to LMTP servers (#41)

  • Make LMTPReceiver the default in the prototype app (#48)

  • Properly work around SMTPReceiver bug caused by an assumption about Python’s smtpd module that should not have been made (#48)

    • This means that Salmon will no longer accept multiple RCPT TOs in the same transaction over SMTP. Consider using LMTPReceiver instead as it does not have this restriction.

  • Python 3 support (#7)

    • You’ll now need setuptools to install (this won’t be a problem for those upgrading)

    • No more support for Windows - it never worked for production on that platform anyway

  • Don’t catch socket.error when delivering messages via salmon.server.Relay (#49)

  • Bind to port 0 during tests as this lets the OS choose a free port for us (#51)

  • Wrote some documentation (#33)
