v60.5

Changelog

🔽 - The change was imported from an upstream update
🌟 - Change specific to Power Mail-in-a-Box

Software Updates

• 🌟 FontAwesome was updated to version 6.2.1;

Setup

• 🌟 Fixed an edge case that could lead to a setup error (related to the user database, #96 & #97);
• 🌟 Hidden some unnecessary output introduced in the previous release;

SMTP Relays

• 🌟 Adding a DKIM record is no longer mandatory (#64);
• • This is because, contrary to what I thought initially, not all relay providers sign your mail themselves (some of them will just carry on the signature of the box itself, which is completely fine);
• • If you added something like a fake record to get around this restriction, you can "fix" it by updating the configuration with an empty record AND selector;
• • If the user provides a selector without a key (or a key without a selector), the system will throw an error, since user intent is not clear.

Backups

• 🌟 Fixed an issue where setting up a S3 backup with a bucket path on the root path without a trail slash (example: miab instead of miab/) would cause parsing errors down the line (#98);
• 🌟 Fixed a display issue where the host of a properly configured S3 backup would seem misconfigured;

v60.4

Changelog

🔽 - The change was imported from an upstream update
🌟 - Change specific to Power Mail-in-a-Box

Software Updates

• 🌟 Nextcloud was updated to version 24.0.7;

Mail

• 🌟 Fixed a bug where changing the password in Roundcube would make Postfix unable to read the users.sqlite database (#85);
• • If you're affected by this, the setup script will fix the database. No further action is required;
• • Users can no longer change their passwords via the Roundcube plugin if they have 2FA enabled;

Control Panel

• 🌟 Non-admin users can now enable 2FA;
• 🌟 Non-admin users can now change their account password via the control panel;

Command Line

• 🌟 The mailinabox command was moved to /usr/local/sbin/ so that it can only be seen when ran with sudo;
• 🌟 Added a miabadm command that aliases to management/cli.py;

Miscellaneous

• 🌟 Version check will now query https://power-mailinabox.net/setup.sh for the latest version;

v60.3

Version pinning

From now on it's possible (and slightly easier) to install a certain version of Power Mail-in-a-Box instead of just "the latest version". This is useful if you need to upgrade to an older version (for working around known issues that are yet to fix) or install a pre-release version for testing. To do so, you can run this command:

curl -L https://power-mailinabox.net/<VERSION>/setup.sh | sudo bash

Where <VERSION> is the version you want to install (For example: v56.5).

⚠️ Note: you can also technically use this to restore a system to an older version (aka downgrading), however, this may not work in all cases, and unless specified otherwise, it's not supported. Please make sure you know what you're doing, have a backup ready for the worst, and cross your fingers for the best.

v60.0

Changelog

🔽 - The change was imported from an upstream update
🌟 - Change specific to Power Mail-in-a-Box

OS Support

• 🔽 Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) is now supported!
• • Support for Debian 10 (buster) has been dropped because it ships with an old version of PHP (7.3) which is no longer supported by some components of this project;

• 🔽 Duplicity will be now installed from pip (i.e. the latest version will always be installed);
• • This means that there's a small build step (involving compilers). However, this step is small enough not to make an impact on setup time, even for weak machinery.
• • This also means no more pinning hacks for b2sdk;
• 🔽 boto was replaced with boto3;

SMTP Relays

• 🌟 Dashes are now allowed on DKIM selectors; (#68)

Webmail

• 🌟 Fixed a problem where users could not change their own passwords on Roundcube; (#77)

SSH

• 🌟 openssh-server is no longer a requirement. This means that you can install Power Mail-in-a-Box without first installing a SSH server; it should be useful for those who are installing on bare-metal machines and/or prefer to keep shell access only for those with physical access.
• • If you tried installing without openssh-server installed, setup would fail very early.

This release is still supported by Debian 10 (Buster)

⚠️ Warning to Debian 10 (Buster) users

This update is looking to set everything up for the arrival of Ubuntu 22.04, which will require NextCloud 24 (still unreleased).
Barring any need for emergency patches, this should be the last feature release supported by Debian 10. You can (and should) upgrade to Debian 11 which will remain supported.
