The Roundcube Project News

We’re happy to announce that a new major release of Roundcube is now available for testing. As usual it contains many bugfixes (thanks to all the reporters and contributers) and brings more stability and speedup as well as some new features such as Internationalized Domain Name (IDNA) support, support for shared/global IMAP folders and support for SMTP Delivery Status Notifications. Plus some minor changes to the message list UI and many improvements under the hood.

As you might have heard, also the developers of Roundcube are just human beings and thus not always creating perfect and 100% bug free work. The last 0.4.1 release fixed many bugs but also introduced a quite annoying new one. That’s why the next release follows just one week later. It fixes a few important bugs, especially the “Server Error” message when expanding/collapsing folders and it also updates some previously incomplete localization files.

This update release fixes the most important bugs of the 0.4 stable release such as the disappearing upload box or buggy SQL scripts. Further more support for format=flowed has been improved and some localization files have been completed.

After the big new features in 0.4-beta this release now completes the unfinished work and fixes bugs related to the new threaded message listing and address groups features. We also cleaned up the user interface and tried to make all UI elements more consistent.

A new major release is now available for deep testing. With this version we fixed over 50 bugs and added new features like threaded message listing and contact groups support as well as many little improvements that make e-mail reading with Roundcube an even better experience.

For the upcoming version 0.4 of Roundcube Webmail we have done some refactoring of the backend code which improves both performance and reliability of the application. These changes now need to be well tested before we continue to implement new features like threaded message listing planned for the 0.4 release.

This update release fixes lots of bugs and improves the file upload when composing a mail message. Also some of the plugins have been improved and translated into more languages.

We’re proud to announce the stable release of version 0.3 with the long-awaited plugin API. Now the doors are open to extend Roundcube’s functionality and the integration in other web-based systems got much easier. The package includes a default set of useful plugins and some sample code. An introduction to plugin development can be found on our wiki at trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Doc_Plugins .

After getting plenty of feedback for the plugin API which was published in version 0.3-beta we now released an almost-ready version of RoundCube. The reason why this not yet a stable release are some pervasive changes on the IMAP backend in order to improve performance. We’d like our dear users to extensively test this release candidate and submit errors to our bug tracker. The 0.3-stable release will follow soon…

A little service release was just released. It contains some minor bug fixes and a newly added support for STARTTLS in IMAP connections. We recommended to update all installations of RoundCube Webmail to this version.
