Latest news
eGroupware 1.6rc5 - 5th release candidate for 1.6 available
Submitted by Ralf Becker on 2008/11/16 - 22:46
The final release will be on Tuesday 25th November 2008. There will be one more release candidate by the end of this week.
It's very important for the quality of the release that all testers keep on testing every one of the release candidates (please no leaning back now and waiting for the final release)!
What's new in eGroupware v1.6?
Complete new implementation of the filemanager DMS by means of PHP stream-wrapper and WebDAV, ACL control on directories and files - the new architecture allows now uploading of big files.
Implementation of new functions like multiple mail accounts and many bugfixes in the email client.
Extensive new features for the tracker-application: for example escalation-matrix for tickets and automatic mail-conversion as a ticket.
Improved calendar functions especially with recurring-events.
Supplements and adaptations in the addressbook like appointment-view, custom fields, distribution lists shown in the contact directly and in the addressbook list, multiple categorization of contacts in the addressbook list.
Improvement of the template functionality of the project manager and some bugfixes.
Many useful extensions and adaptations as well as bug-fixes in all modules.
UPDATE: the first 1.4.004 packages contained two bugs:
- felamimail gave an error "no egw_simple toolbar set"
- the spellchecker / aspell did not work (it need to be configured and enabled in Admin >> Site configuration)
The 1.4.004-2 tar.bz2, tar.gz and zip packages and the 1.4.005-15 rpm packages are fixing the above errors.
==> WE RECOMMEND EVERYONE UPDATES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
The update includes all previous 1.4 updates and requires no schema update (if you upgrade within the 1.4 release).
The fixed security problems are grave, if you have directories writable by the webserver in you docroot (in most windows server the complete docroot writable by default, but many linux servers are also set up that way).
The new version 2.6 of FCKeditor supports now newer Safari and Opera browsers, see http://www.fckeditor.net
Please note: as FCK contains many static javascript and css files, you and your users might have to delete the browser cache after the update!
tar.bz2, tar.gz and zip files are downloadable from sf.net
