EGroupware Enterprise Collaboration / News: Recent posts

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.

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: www.egroupware.org/wiki/releasenotes1.4
* for a full list see www.egroupware.org/changelog... read more

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.... read more

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.

This is a maintainance release of eGroupWare, a multi-user, web-based groupware suite developed on a custom set of PHP-based APIs. Currently available modules include: email, addressbook, calendar, infolog (notes, to-do's, phone calls), content management, forum, bookmarks, and wiki.

Release 1.2-104 contains no new features, only bugfixes.

Every productional system should get updated to this version.... read more

The eGroupWare project is pleased to announce the next major release
of its collaboration suite, eGroupWare. After 20 months of active
development, it comes with blazing new features and many improvements
for usability and performance.

The user interface for the major applications has been extensively
harmonized, giving the user a more intuitive way to do their daily work.

Through the use of new programming techniques and technologies, this
new release has become notably faster.... read more

Notes:
This is (hopefully) the last RC before the final relase. We expect the final release within one week.

This time we also provide RPM's for SuSE 10 and Fedora Core 4.

Changes:
* Sat Mar 06 2006 Lars Kneschke <l.kneschke@metaways.de> 1.2RC7-1

Again 2 critical bugs fixed. Therefor an other RC.

There are now installation instructions in english and german: http://egroupware.org/index.php?page_name=german-user-manual&wikipage=ManualSetup and a german language pdf containing the installation chapter of the new 1.2 handbook: http://outdoor-training.de/pdf/Manual1.2-Installation.pdf ... read more

Again many bugs fixed.

Due to the number of bugs fixed since RC3, I decided to have at least one more release candidate - this one.

Because of a critical bug in the db-class, I recommend everyone using the previous RC's to update to this one ASAP, as you can damage your data. One effect of the bug is, that new created files in filemanager are shown twice. This will not go away, you have to delete and re-add the files.... read more

Still some features missing:
