| Previously the sieve filters could only be edited via the webmail client. It is now also possible to use an external sieve client for manageming the sieve rules. Configure the sieve client to connect to Mailu on the default sieve port 4190. |

| It is now also possible to use [an external sieve client](http://sieve.info/clients) for managing sieve rules using port 4190. Previously sieve filters could only be edited through webmails. |

| The User interface is enhanced with the quota bytes used (quota_bytes_used) attribute. This attribute states the usage (in bytes) of the mailbox. In combination with the attribute quota_bytes, it is possible to check how much storage an user has left via the RESTful API. | ||

| The new `token` endpoint allows the management of authentication tokens. It is **strongly** recommended to create authentication tokens for all users and to configure email clients to use these authentication tokens for connecting to Mailu instead of user passwords. Tokens are not subject to rate-limiting and are verified server-side in a less resource intensive way. Their usage can be enforced using the newly introduced [AUTH_REQUIRE_TOKENS](https://mailu.io/master/configuration.html#advanced-settings) setting. |

| The dovecot indexer has been switched from fts-xapian to fts-flatcurve. In the future this will be the new default indexer for dovecot. This indexer is quicker and results in smaller index files. | ||

| Apache Tika has been added to Mailu to add support for attachments indexing. As a result the server-side search functionality does not only search through emails, but also through the attachments of emails. |

| Apache Tika has been added to Mailu to add support for attachments indexing. The server-side search functionality now crawls through both emails and their attachments (including office documents, PDFs, images via OCR). |

| The dovecot indexer indexes all emails for the server-side search functionality. It is used when searching via the webmail client. In email clients it might be required to enable server-side searching. |

| The dovecot indexer indexes all emails for the server-side search functionality. It is used when searching via the webmail client. In email clients it might be required to enable server-side searching. | |
| Full Text Search has now been improved and server-side search enabled by default on webmails. Other email clients may need to be reconfigured to ensure searches are performed server-side. |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||
| The environment variable `AUTH_REQUIRE_TOKENS` has been introduced. This setting can be enabled to force email clients to use authentication tokens (instead of passwords) for authenticating to Mailu. Note that authentication tokens can now also be generated via the RESTful API. | ||

| It is recommended to use authentication tokens instead of passwords for connecting email clients to Mailu as verifying them is less resource intensive server-side and they are not subject to rate limits (since they cannot be brute-forced online by a potential attacker). |

| The new FAQ entry `How can I view and export the logs of a Mailu container?` describes how log files can be viewed via journald. It also provides instructions for how to install and configure rsyslogd for saving container logs to file system (including log rotation). | ||

| The hardened malloc is disabled by default |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
That heading is wrong. It is not disabled by default... we just enable it later in the process once we have ensured the CPU can handle it.
For optimal protection we do recommend that users set the variable so that it gets enabled sooner that it would otherwise be.
