Announcing IMAPClient 0.5
Posted on
It's been a long time between releases but I've just released IMAPClient 0.5.
From the NEWS file:
Folder names are now encoded and decoded transparently if required (using modified UTF-7). This means that any methods that return folder names may return unicode objects as well as normal strings [API CHANGE]. Additionally, any method that takes a folder name now accepts unicode object too. Use the folder_encode attribute to control whether encode/decoding is performed.
Unquoted folder names in server responses are now handled correctly. Thanks to Neil Martinsen-Burrell for reporting this bug.
Fixed a bug with handling of unusual characters in folder names.
Timezones are now handled correctly for datetimes passed as input and for server responses. This fixes a number of bugs with timezones. Returned datetimes are always in the client's local timezone [API CHANGE].
Many more unit tests, some using Michael Foord's excellent mock.py. (http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/)
IMAPClient can be installed from PyPI using easy_install IMAPClient
or
downloaded from my Code page. As always,
feedback and patches are most welcome.
