Announcing Release 3.0 of IndiMail.

You can find the ChangeLog at the bottom of this notes.

WARNING!!! ALERT!!! WARNING!!!. If you are installing (not upgrading), you need to run the following command of indimail installation $ sudo svctool --mysqlupgrade

With the release of MySQL 8.0, a distasteful monstrocity, this release has changes to minimize the PITA involved in creating a initialized MySQL database.

1. the code for svctool --config=mysqldb has been changed to allow initialization for MySQL 8.0. However you will find that each and every time you create a new table or database, problems occur with show tables command. This requires you to run the /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade program
2. New option --mysqlupgrade added in svctool to run mysql_upgrade to fix the damage Oracle has introduced by introducing MySQL 8.0. This option is slow like hell. You need to be patient to allow the program to complete.
3. The issue with 'SHOW DATABASE', 'SHOW TABLES' occur only for a new installation on a host with MySQL 8.0. The issues do not occur when you do an upgrade of an existing indimail installation having MySQL < 8.0 or any version of MariaDB.
4. Please read the below points on MySQL 8.0 https://mysqlserverteam.com/upgrading-to-mysql-8-0-here-is-what-you-need-to-know/
