The Roundcube Project News

The free OOS magazine "o3" comes up with a complete guide on how to set up an enterprise email server using open source components - including RoundCube.

We have now released the 0.1-rc1 package without any third party libraries. The package only contains the core source files which are all licensed under the Gnu GPL. This release is intended to be included in package repositories and server distributions that can handle dependencies. The complete list of dependencies can be found in the INSTALL file within the package.

The Release Candidate number one has just been released. It includes a better and less memory consuming message parser and a neat integration of LDAP address directories. Also session authentication has changed to get rid of the annoying session-timeouts.

The next release (0.1-rc1) is scheduled for 18/05/2007. To complete the new features and improvements, all translators are requested to update the localization files. Please use the online translator at translator.roundcube.net and submit the updated files to the dev-mailing list.

Just found this tutorial on installing RoundCube on a Windows Server 2003 using hMailServer (IMAP/POP3) with IIS 6 via MySQL: www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5591

With the latest security update for 0.1-beta2 we unfortunately introduced a bug when parsing HTML messages. Some users reported weird replacements. There’s a patch available to fix this issue and we’ve updated the release file as well. Check the patches section at our SourceForge page or find the updated package at the download page.

We have just updated the 0.1-beta2 release of RoundCube. The new version includes several security fixes and we recommend to replace any existing installation with it. Check the download section for roundcubemail-0.1beta2.1.tar.gz

Still amazed by the enormous interest in this project, I’m no longer able to process support requests, bug reports and questions about release dates sent to me by e-mail. I’m really sorry about that but it’s simply impossible to answer them all! Please refer to the forum or to the users mailing list for support. We also have a tracking system for bugs and feature requests. The direct e-mail (roundcube at gmail) is reserved for project management and development issues.

There’s a new patch available to install RoundCube 0.1-beta2 on a cPanel host. The installation guide can be found here: www.hostgeekz.com/guides/cPanel/64/Install_RoundCube_on_cPanel.htm

After a long period of development and some major changes in the project organization, we finally released version 0.1-beta2. New features like message search, spellchecking, saving messages as draft and folder renaming are introduced with this release.
