Hello. > Anyone have a rough ETA for 1.4? I really need stable Japanese > language support, with all the nice plugins. > > I'll even trade: give me a good 1.4, and I'll fix the procmail plugin. > > -deano Until the 1.4 series greets us, you can use the following latest patch for Japanese compatibility on 1.2.9. Masato has been working on the Japanese patch for a long time, and updates it very quickly to address bug issues or add features (such as word wrap in Japanese as well as English, etc.). If you can read Japanese, here is the SquirrelMail section of his site: http://www.yamaai-tech.com/squirrelmail.html And here is where the latest patch for 1.2.9 is available. http://www.yamaai-tech.com/~masato/Download/ The latest patch (for 1.2.9) is squirrelmail-1.2.9-ja-20021125-patch.gz. There are also rpms available for Red Hat Linux 7.2 and 7.3 (8.0 ones will be prepared soon - now getting the build machine ready). http://ftp.sanguine.net/pub/sahughes/rhl/ There is also a mailing list (in Japanese) for Japanese language support: http://sanguine.jp/mailman/listinfo/squirrelmail-users If Deano, you find a bug specific to Japanese use or in the Japanese patch, please report it to the mailing list ( squ...@sa... ) and we will follow-it up. If it is something that can be easily fixed, then just that will be done, and if the changes are relevant to the Japanese compatibility code for future the (.org) releases, they will be sent up stream. There is a growing user base of SquirrelMail in Japan and in the Japanese language, being used personally and in production environments. (To give one example) I personally have integrated the Japanese capable SquirrelMail into an environment of around 150 users, and they seem happy. I hope this is of some help. Scott. -- Scott A.
