|
+All about this Release!
|
|
|
+=======================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This is the first release of our new 1.4.x-series which is officially
|
|
|
+labeled STABLE! We've been through a long development trajectory
|
|
|
+which has resulted in this version. The big plusses of 1.4 over the
|
|
|
+previous 1.2.x series are enhanced stability, better compatibility
|
|
|
+with a wide range of mail/websystems, more features and less bugs.
|
|
|
+See the Major Updates section of this file for more.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A note on PHP 4.3.x
|
|
|
+===================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+While the developers realize that PHP 4.3.x is the "latest and greatest"
|
|
|
+version of PHP to be available, SquirrelMail has not been extensively
|
|
|
+tested with it. We currently believe that SquirrelMail should work on
|
|
|
+PHP 4.3.x but we lack the experience with this new version to be
|
|
|
+absolutely sure. If you want to be safe, or experience problems, you may
|
|
|
+want to downgrade to PHP 4.2.x.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Major updates
|
|
|
+==============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The 1.4.0 series (as a result of 1.3 developent series) brings:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* A complete rewrite of the way we send mail (Deliver-class),
|
|
|
+ and of the way we parse mail (MIME-bodystructure parsing).
|
|
|
+ This makes SquirrelMail more reliable and more efficient
|
|
|
+ at the same time!
|
|
|
+* Support for IMAP UID which makes SquirrelMail more reliable.
|
|
|
+* Optimizations to code and the number of IMAP calls; SquirrelMail
|
|
|
+ is now a very scalable webmail solution.
|
|
|
+* Support for a wider range of authentication mechanisms.
|
|
|
+* Lots of bugfixes, some new features and a couple of UI-tweaks.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A note on plugins
|
|
|
+=================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+There have been major plugin architecture improvements. Lots of plugins
|
|
|
+have not yet been adapted to this. Plugins which are distributed with
|
|
|
+this release (eg. in the same .tar.gz file) should work. Plugin authors
|
|
|
+will need some time to adapt their plugins, so quite some plugins
|
|
|
+might not work.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+So if you have ANY problem at all, first try turning off all plugins.
|
|
|
+If one plugin seems to be the culprit, contact the author to see if
|
|
|
+a 1.4.x version is underway.
|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Reporting my favorite SquirrelMail 1.4 bug
|
|
|
+==========================================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+We constantly aim to make SquirrelMail even better. So we need you to
|
|
|
+submit any bug you come across! Also, please mention that the bug is
|
|
|
+in this 1.4.0 release, and list your IMAP server and webserver details.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Thanks for your cooperation with this. That helps us to make
|
|
|
+sure nothing slips through the cracks. Also, it would help if
|
|
|
+people would check existing tracker items for a bug before reporting
|
|
|
+it again. This would help to eliminate duplicate reports, and
|
|
|
+increase the time we can spend CODING by DECREASING the time we
|
|
|
+spend sorting through bug reports. And remember, check not only OPEN
|
|
|
+bug reports, but also closed ones as a bug that you report MAY have
|
|
|
+been fixed in CVS already.
