The Roundcube Project News

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.

This service release includes more than 40 bug fixes, security improvements and completes some missing translations. We also added TNEF support to decode proprietary MS Outlook attachments (winmail.dat) and tuned the performance when displaying a message.

The second stable version of the RoundCube Webmail package completes unfinished work from the 0.2-beta release and comes up with about 80 bugfixes as well as some performance improvements. The upgrading process now became very easy with the integrated update script. It’s runnable from the shell or from within the web-based installer. Read the UPGRADING instructions for details.

There were two security issues reported which are now fixed. The first was as possible code injection using the html2text conversion script. The other exploit used the unchecked size parameters of the quota image to let PHP create huge images eating up all the server memory.

This new version comes with many fixed bugs and some new features like

After getting several requests about donations for our project we decided to open a PayPal account for this purpose. But donations to RoundCube Webmail will be passed to charity projects, mainly the KANTHA BOPHA Children’s Hospital in Cambodia.

This pre-release of version 0.2 comes up with a DOM-based HTML sanitization which removes malicious JavaScript code from HTML messages and fixes all known XSS vulnerabilities. And we also fixed more than 100 bugs.
