The Roundcube Project News

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.

The big change was carried out successfully and we’re back in business :-) The CVS repository and the tracker at SourceForge are finally closed. If you’d like to report a bug, please use our new Tracker at trac.roundcube.net. Also the annoying delays of the public CVS are past times. Anonymous checkouts from the new SVN repository can be done at any time and you’ll surely get the freshest data. Last but not least, we also have a Wiki available for all sorts of information about RoundCube. Check it out!

Due to system changes we removed the tracker for Bugs and Feature Requests from the site. The data will be moved to a new system hosted outside of SourceForge. Please revisit our website in a couple of days.

According to many requests we finally managed to set up a web-based forum for the RoundCube webmail project. Many thanks to Brett Patterson for managing this. The forum board can be found at roundcubeforum.net

Two more installation guides for RoundCube have been submitted. The first describes how to integrate RC on a cPanel system with a patch for taking over a current session. The second guide is useful for all who want to install or upgrade RC on Mac OS X.

The recently published beta-release came up with two ugly bugs. One prevented from saving the language selection in the user preferences and the other completely omitted mail headers when having no smtp server configured.

After a long period of development, we’re proud to announce the first official Beta release of our webmail client. Many bugfixes and some new features have found their way into this version. For a detailed list of improvements, please refer to the Changelog. Have fun!
