    ANN: managesieve 0.4

    After four long years I am happy to announce a new release of
    python-managesieve. To ensure faster development the project has moved
    to a new home at <http://python-managesieve.ori go.ethz.ch/>.

    managesieve 0.4
    =============== =

    A ManageSieve client library for remotely managing Sieve scripts,
    including an user application (the interactive 'sieveshell').

    Sieve scripts allow users to filter incoming email on the mail server.
    The ManageSieve protocol allows managing Sieve scripts on a remote
    mail server. These servers are commonly sealed so users cannot log
    into them, yet users must be able to update their scripts on them.
    This is what for the "ManageSiev e" protocol is. For more information
    about the ManageSieve protocol see `the ManageSieve Internet draft
    <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-martin-managesieve-07.txt>`_.

    This module allows accessing a Sieve-Server for managing Sieve scripts
    there. It is accompanied by a simple yet functional user application
    'sieveshell'.


    Changes since 0.3
    -----------------
    :managesieve:
    - now works with Python 2.3 and later
    - added support for TLS (STARTTLS), special thanks to Gregory Boyce
    for fixing some corner cases here
    - added support for PLAIN authentication
    - use optparse if available instead of optik.
    - API change: login() no longer uses the LOGIN authentication
    mechanism, but has become a convenience function. It uses the best
    mechanism available for authenticating the user.
    - Several Bugfixes, see HISTORY for details.

    Thanks to Tomas 'Skitta' Lindroos, Lorenzo Boccaccia, Alain Spineux,
    darkness and Gregory Boyce for sending patches.
