A "release candidate" version of JavaMail 1.4.4 is now available.
We hope to release the final version of JavaMail 1.4.4 within several
weeks. No changes are planned from the release candidate version,
but this is your chance to try it out and let us know if there are
any critical bugs we've missed.
The 1.4.4 release contains several bug fixes and enhancements,
including the following significant changes:
- Ability to cache POP3 messages on disk.
- In-memory POP3 message cache now uses soft references.
- NTLM authentication support is now integrated, no longer need jcifs.jar.
- SASL authentication support for SMTP.
The full list of changes is in the file CHANGES.txt, viewable in the
source code repository here:
http://kenai.com/projects/javamail/sources/mercurial/content/doc/release/CHANGES.txt?rev=322
Note that starting with this release we've adopted a new Maven naming
approach. The new approach is described here:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/GlassFish/Maven+Versioning+Rules
As a result the Maven group and artifact IDs for the main JavaMail
implementation are now com.sun.mail/javax.mail, and the main jar
file is named "javax.mail.jar".
The JavaMail javax.mail.jar file is available in the java.net Maven
Repository (
https://maven2-repository.dev.java.net/) starting here:
http://download.java.net/maven/2/com/sun/mail/javax.mail/
You'll find the source code for this version in the Mercurial repository
of the JavaMail project on Kenai:
