Version 55 (October 18, 2021)
-----------------------------
Mail:
* "SMTPUTF8" is now disabled in Postfix. Because Dovecot still does not
support SMTPUTF8, incoming mail to internationalized addresses was
bouncing. This fixes incoming mail to internationalized domains (which
was probably working prior to v0.40), but it will prevent sending
outbound mail to addresses with internationalized local-parts.
* Upgraded to Roundcube 1.5.
Control panel:
* The control panel menus are now hidden before login, but now
non-admins can log in to access the mail and contacts/calendar
instruction pages.
* The login form now disables browser autocomplete in the two-factor
authentication code field.
* After logging in, the default page is now a fast-loading welcome page
rather than the slow-loading system status checks page.
* The backup retention period option now displays for B2 backup targets.
* The DNSSEC DS record recommendations are cleaned up and now recommend
changing records that use SHA1.
* The Munin monitoring pages no longer require a separate HTTP basic
authentication login and can be used if two-factor authentication is
turned on.
* Control panel logins are now tied to a session backend that allows
true logouts (rather than an encrypted cookie).
* Failed logins no longer directly reveal whether the email address
corresponds to a user account.
* Browser dark mode now inverts the color scheme.
Other:
* Fail2ban's IPv6 support is enabled.
* The mail log tool now doesn't crash if there are email addresess in
log messages with invalid UTF-8 characters.
* Additional nsd.conf files can be placed in /etc/nsd.conf.d.
v0.53 (April 12, 2021)
----------------------
Software updates:
* Upgraded Roundcube to version 1.4.11 addressing a security issue, and
its desktop notifications plugin.
* Upgraded Z-Push (for Exchange/ActiveSync) to version 2.6.2.
Control panel:
* Backblaze B2 is now a supported backup protocol.
* Fixed an issue in the daily mail reports.
* Sort the Custom DNS by zone and qname, and add an option to go back to
the old sort order (creation order).
Mail:
* Enable sending DMARC failure reports to senders that request them.
Setup:
* Fixed error when upgrading from Nextcloud 13.
Port 465 with "implicit" (i.e. always-on) TLS is a more secure approach than port 587 with explicit (i.e. optional and only on with STARTTLS). Although we reject credentials on port 587 without STARTTLS, by that point credentials have already been sent.
Software updates:
* Upgraded Nextcloud from 17.0.6 to 20.0.1 (with Contacts from 3.3.0 to 3.4.1 and Calendar from 2.0.3 to 2.1.2)
* Upgraded Roundcube to version 1.4.9.
Mail:
* The MTA-STA max_age value was increased to the normal one week.
Control Panel:
* Two-factor authentication can now be enabled for logins to the control panel. However, keep in mind that many online services (including domain name registrars, cloud server providers, and TLS certificate providers) may allow an attacker to take over your account or issue a fraudulent TLS certificate with only access to your email address, and this new two-factor authentication does not protect access to your inbox. It therefore remains very important that user accounts with administrative email addresses have strong passwords.
* TLS certificate expiry dates are now shown in ISO8601 format for clarity.

5F4C0E7313CCD744693B2AEAB92041F4C10BDD81
* Update to Nextcloud 15.0.7, Contacts to 3.1.1, and Calendar to 1.6.5
* Enabled localhost-only insecure IMAP login for localhost Nextcloud auth
* Add package php-imagick and BigInt conversion
* added support for /cloud/oc[sm]-provider/ endpoint
* drop the ondrej/php PPA since PHP 7.x is available directly from Ubuntu 18.04
* intall PHP 7.2 which is just the "php" package in Ubuntu 18.04
* some package names changed, some unnecessary packages are no longer provided
* update paths
@joshdata squashed pull request #1398, removed some comments, and added these notes:
* The old init.d script for the management daemon is replaced with a systemd service.
* A systemd service configuration is added to configure permissions for munin on startup.
* nginx SSL settings are updated because nginx's options and defaults have changed, and we now enable http2.
* Automatic SSHFP record generation is updated to know that 22 is the default SSH daemon port, since it is no longer explicit in sshd_config.
* The dovecot-lucene package is dropped because the Mail-in-a-Box PPA where we built the package has not been updated for Ubuntu 18.04.
* The stock postgrey package is installed instead of the one from our PPA (which we no longer support), which loses the automatic whitelisting of DNSWL.org-whitelisted senders.
* Drop memcached and the status check for memcached, which we used to use with ownCloud long ago but are no longer installing.
* Other minor changes.
The cryptography package has created all sorts of installation trouble over the last few years, probably because of mismatches between OS-installed packages and pip-installed packages. Using a virtualenv for all Python packages used by the management daemon should make sure everything is consistent.
See #1298, see #1264.
* The Mozilla recommendations must have been updated in the last few years.
* The HSTS header must have >=6 months to get an A+ at ssllabs.com/ssltest.
* Install PHP7 via a PPA, enable unattended upgrades for the PPA, and switch all of our PHP configuration to the PHP7 install.
* Keep installing PHP5 for ownCloud/Nextcloud packages because we need it to possibly run transitional updates to ownCloud/Nextcloud versions less than 12. But replace PHP5 packages with PHP7 packages elsewhere.
* Update to Nextcloud 12 which requires PHP7, with a transitional upgrade to Nextcloud 11.0.3.
* Disable TLS cert validation by Roundcube when connecting to localhost IMAP and SMTP. Validation became the default in PHP7 but we don't necessarily have a (non-self-)signed certificate and it definitely isn't valid for the IP address 127.0.0.1.
Merges #1140
On some machines localhost is defined as something other than 127.0.0.1, and if we mix "127.0.0.1" and "localhost" then some connections won't be to to the address a service is actually running on.
This was the case with DKIM: It was running on "localhost" but Postfix was connecting to it at 127.0.0.1. (https://discourse.mailinabox.email/t/opendkim-is-not-running-port-8891/1188/12.)
I suppose "localhost" could be an alias to an IPv6 address? We don't really want local services binding on IPv6, so use "127.0.0.1" to be explicit and don't use "localhost" to be sure we get an IPv4 address.
Fixes#797
