Highlights of Dovecot 2.2 Beta 1:

• When creating home directories, the permissions are copied from the parent directory if it has setgid-bit set; • "doveadm auth" command was renamed to "doveadm auth test"; • ID command now advertises server name as Dovecot by default; • dovecot.index.cache files can be safely accessed only by v2.1.11+; • IMAP MOVE and BINARY extensions have been implemented; • IMAP NOTIFY extension has been implemented.
