[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 1.60a - Neptune

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

I am pleased to announce the release of WebCollab 1.60a (Neptune)
available immediately.  This is the first stable release in six months
and is the result of some intensive development work.

Also available is Unicode add-ons to enable the use of UTF-8 character
sets.  This is being provided as an add-on, since MySQL does fully not
support Unicode in a stable release.  MySQL 4.1, presently in alpha
release, will support Unicode.  PostgreSQL does support Unicode and is
recommended.
