==> WE RECOMMEND EVERYONE UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE <==

Update instructions are under www.egroupware.org/wiki/ManualSetup and 
the release notes for the 1.4 release are under 
www.egroupware.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes1.4
Please note that notification, importexport and SyncML require php5.1, 
while the rest of eGW 1.4 requires only php4.3! Please remember you 
always need the additional egroupware-pear package!

The update also included many bug fixes since the 1.4.001/2 packages.

This is probably the last 1.4 release, as the Version 1.6 is planned for 
early this summer.

This update had to be produced on very short notice, as the original 
mail to sec...@eg... was bounced, by the mail infrastructure 
operated by the former project member Lars Kneschke. The project has no 
control over it and the egroupware.org domain, which is owned by the 
Lars Kneschke. In spite of his public statement, that the egroupware.org 
domain belongs to the project 
(http://www.nabble.com/tine20.de%2C-egroupware.de%2C-egroupware.org%2C-etc.-to15711914s3741.html#a15754039), 
he has not transferred the domain to the eGroupWare project. He was 
contacted multiple times and was sent a transfer form, he only need to sign.

We ask everyone to politely contact Lars Kneschke 
(l.k...@me...) and the Tine project 
(http://www.tine20.org/forum/) to help convincing them to transfer the 
egroupware.org domain to the eGroupWare project.

If we can't get control over the domain or it get switched off or to a 
different website, we have to switch the eGroupWare infrastructure to 
www.egroupware-server.org
