The Roundcube Project News

The first service update for RoundCube Webmail 0.1-stable is now available. It contains important bug fixes and updates of some incomplete localization files. We recommend to update all installations of 0.1-stable. Read the UPGRADING instructions to find out how to do this.

After more than two years of development we finally released the first stable version of RoundCube Webmail. It’s not as feature rich as we’d like it to be but the released version is considered to run stable for a productive environment. Thanks to our users we fixed many bugs and added some nice new features. So go ahead and upgrade your installations now.

The second release candidate has just been released. This new version comes up with a lot of improvements and fixed bugs. An HTML message composition is also included but disabled by default because it’s still experimental.

In order to force hosters to upgrade to PHP 5 we also support the the GoPHP5 initiative. This means that new versions released after February 5, 2008 will drop support for PHP 4. See our support statement for more details: trac.roundcube.net/trac.cgi/wiki/GoingPHP5

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.
