Project News for EGroupware Enterprise Collaboration

  • Project membership changes

    Since actual project membership has not been managed at Sourceforge for some time, the admins today have decided to go ahead and clean up the user list here. This does not impact actual project membership or developer lists in any way.

  • eGroupWare 1.4 final available

    The eGroupWare project is proud to announce the 3. major release of our well know groupware suite.

    It contains uncountable improvements over the 1.2 release. To name a few:

    * addressbook completely rewritten (Group-addressbooks, Organisation-views, improved LDAP support)
    * new fully integrated tracker application used by the project itself since some time
    * new imap backend and many improvements for FMail
    * Gallery2 port for eGroupWare
    * many improvements in nearly all applications
    * have a look at the release-notes: http://www.egroupware.org/wiki/releasenotes1.4
    * for a full list see http://www.egroupware.org/changelog

    Install AND update instruction are available from the setup manual: http://www.egroupware.org/wiki/ManualSetup

    Download Tar and Zip packages from sf.net: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78745
    You need to download and install both of the following files:

    * eGroupWare-1.4.001.tar.bz2/tar.gz/zip
    * eGroupWare-egw-pear-1.4.001.tar.bz2/tar.gz/zip

    Additionally you can install:

    * eGroupWare-gallery (Gallery2 port for eGW)
    * eGroupWare-iCalSrv (iCal Server)

    Rpm packages are available from openSUSE build service: http://build.opensuse.org/project/view?project=server:eGroupWare

    * openSUSE 10.2
    * SUSE Linux 10.0+10.1
    * SLES 10
    * Fedora Core 5+6

    The 1.4 release contains no more of the 1.2 contrib applications. If you want to continue to use them - against our recommendation, as they are no longer maintained - you can do so by checking them out from svn, see http://www.egroupware.org/wiki/subversion

    Many thanks to all developers, translators and testers :-)

  • eGroupWare 1.2-106 bugfix and maintainance release

    This is a bugfix and maintainance release for the 1.2 branch of
    eGroupWare. We recommend everyone to update to it.

    Please note:
    The most important fix is PHP5.2 compatibility.
    Because of a nasty bug in the PHP5.2 mbstring extension, you have to
    additionally switch display_errors Off, to be able to work with
    eGroupWare using multibyte charsets like utf-8 (or anyway if you have
    mbstring.func_overload > 0). Otherwise you get tons of "empty haystack"
    warnings.

    Package layout (NO change to the previous 1.2 packages):
    - eGroupWare packages (all formats) contain all maintained applications
    - RPM: eGroupWare-app packages require an eGroupWare or eGroupWare-core
    package
    - gz, bz2, zip: eGroupWare-contrib contains ALL unmaintained
    applications (Please note they are not maintained and bugfixed anymore!
    Install only the app(s) you really need.)

    Changelog:
    - PHP5.2 compatibility (eg. datetime class)
    - various fixes in the calendar
    - PostgreSQL 8.1 compatibility
    - setup/ldapimport fixed
    see http://www.egroupware.org/changelog

    We expect to have the first beta for the new 1.4 release within the next
    days.

  • 5. bugfix and maintainance release of eGroupWare 1.2

    It contains only bugfixes and language updates, no new features. It also contains a security relevant fix, if you use eGroupWare with register_globals On, against our recommendation and configuration files.
    We recommend everyone updates to it.
