This are the changes to the Cyrus IMAP Server since 2.3.15:
- Added user_deny.db to be able to selectively deny users access to Cyrus 
services.
- Added disconnect_on_vanished_mailbox option. See imapd.conf(5) for details
- Reworked SQL detection code in configure. See install-upgrade.html for more 
details.
- Added popuseimapflags option which enables setting and obeying IMAP flags in 
the POP server.
- Added optimized method of handling an empty maildrop in pop3d. Requires 
statuscache to be enabled. (based on work of Cyril Servant ) 
- Added annotation_definitions option for specifying external (third-party) 
annotations. (courtesy of Thomas Viehmann )
- Added sync_compress option to compress replication traffic
- Added user_folder_limit option to limit the number of folders a non-admin 
user is allowed to create.
- Added -x option to cyr_expire to disable expunge
- Track idle state so a shutdown doesn't leave idled killing random other 
processes on a busy system
- Fix missing closedir() - bug #3159 (thanks Simon Matter)
- Make Cyrus compile with older GCC (thanks Simon Matter)

I don't see a reference to kolab related patches, not to skiplist 
improvements.

In the changelog toward 2.3.15 there is a reference to skiplist:
- Fixed a skiplist foreach bug and various datatype size issues that caused 
problems on some 64 bit architectures

It looks like the kolab related patches will be available in cyrus-2.3.17.
