Release 0.8 (stable) with new skin is out
by Thomas Bruederli 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hello folks, We're proud to finally announce the release of version 0.8 with the brand new skin, codename "Larry", becoming the new default UI for Roundcube. After two preview releases and a lot of fine-tuning, the new design by http://bueroflint.com has now grown up. But to all the nostalgics out there: don't worry! The old skin still remains part of the package and will be maintained for at least one more major release. Beside the new UI, this version also contains more bugfixes and mprovements (see ) as well as some code refactorings. Another major change since the last stable release is the updated license which is now GPL v3+ with exceptions for skin & plugins. Read more about that on http://roundcube.net/license After lots of testing and collecting your feedback, this version is considered stable and we recommend to update all productive installations of Roundcube. Get the new version from http://roundcube.net/download Finally, some important notes for sysadmins to deploy the new Roundcube: * The new skin brings an entirely new look to the webmail application. Please carefully plan a roll-out of the new version and prepare your users accordingly. * We're getting a lot of support requests from users who are under the impression that Roundcube is a public service such as Gmail or Hotmail. Unfortunately we cannot help these people and thus we'd like to encourage everybody to do some branding on your Roundcube installation. You can replace the logo by config (option 'skin_logo') and even more important: the new release now has an option named 'support_url' where everyone should fill in an URL to instructions how to get help for that specific installation of Roundcube. And last but not least: our recent partnership with the Kolab Groupware project is finally showing some results. The Kolab team just published a preview release of their all-new Kolab 3.0 groupware suite including Roundcube as the new web client. Enriched with nice new plugins, Roundcube gives easy access to all relevant groupware functions. Read more about Kolab at http://kolab.org/blog/grote/2012/08/07/alpha-kolab-3.0-and-roundcube-0.8-re… That's definitely worth celebrating, cheers! Thomas

Goodbye Subversion, hello github
by Thomas Bruederli 06 May '12

06 May '12

Hello folks Upon several requests from our community we now moved the Roundcube Webmail source code repository from our privately hosted Subversion server to github. With this step we hope to make it easier for anybody to get the source and to contribute patches and improvements. So everybody who was fulling bleeding edge updates from svn.roundcube.net, please visit https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail and clone the repository. We're happy to get your pull requests. For bug reports and feature requests please still use or trac platform at http://trac.roundcube.net. The new git repository is also mirrored there but we're still fighting with some configuration and performance issues there. Thanks for your understanding. Best, Thomas

Roundcube 0.8-beta with new skin ready for testing
by Thomas Bruederli 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

Hello folks With the just published version 0.8-beta we proudly release the all new user interface design of Roundcube, codename "Larry" out into the wild. It isn't enabled by default but you can easily enable and test the new look by setting $rcmail_config['skin'] = 'larry'; in your local config/main.inc.php file. Many thanks again to our volunteer designer at http://bueroflint.com for the great work! Some plugins may not yet provide templates and styles for the new skin, so expect certain things to appear broken. We hereby kindly invite all plugin developers to adapt their plugins to the new skin. Said that, we'd also like to mention that Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported from this version on. Roundcube itself still works with IE6 but the new skin doesn't and we'll officially drop IE6 support anytime soon. It has just been around for too long... Beside the new UI, this version also contains some bugfixes and improvements (see http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog) as well as some code refactorings. These can potentially break some plugins if they use calls to renamed or refactored functions. Please watch your logs and in case you should notice any errors, please report them to the according plugin developers. In addition to the technical and visual changes, starting with this release, Roundcube is now licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 3 or later (with exceptions for skins & plugins) as we recently announced on our website: http://roundcube.net/license. Please note that this is a beta release and we recommend to test it in a separate environment. The new skin most likely requires some more CSS hacking until we're ready for the 0.8 stable release. Please report all problems to our bug tracking system at http://trac.roundcube.net Have fun!

Roundcube Licensing Update
by Thomas Bruederli 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hello folks As of January 2012 Roundcube will be licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 3 or later (with exceptions for skins & plugins) while it was licensed under GPL (v2) before that change. Actually the license situation wasn't absolutely clear before because some parts of the Roundcube code didn't specify a version number of the GPL while others did. Those parts not specifying a version number could, according to the GPL license text, be considered as either version 2 or any later version. *Clarification and Preparation for the Future* Because of the incorporated numerous other components, the only options for licenses are in the GNU GPL family, namely GNU GPLv2, GNU GPLv3, GNU AGPLv3. In order to become license compatible with some of the newer technologies we would like to be able to use and to be well prepared for future development and integration we decided to officially change to GNU GPL "version 3 or any later version". Together with the change to GPLv3+ we also added the following exception to the Roundcube license agreement which explicitly excludes skins & plugins from the terms of the GPL: " This file forms part of the Roundcube Webmail Software for which the following exception is added: Plug-ins and Skins which merely make function calls to the Roundcube Webmail Software, and for that purpose include it by reference shall not be considered modifications of the software. If you wish to use this file in another project or create a modified version that will not be part of the Roundcube Webmail Software, you may remove the exception above and use this source code under the original version of the license. " This shall give a maximum flexibility to skin designers and plugin developers to choose any other license for their work or even to create commercial or proprietary components without being forced to publish them according to the strong copy-left requirements of the GPL. The original proposal and the following discussion about this license clarification can be read in our mailing list archive: http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2011-11/0000040.html *Request for Agreement* Because the copyright in Roundcube is not consolidated, making these updates requires the agreement of all contributors to Roundcube. So if you have in the past contributed to Roundcube, we would very much like to ask for your explicit agreement with this path forward. We believe this primarily represents a clarification and an adjustment to what we practiced over the past years. But of course we cannot force anyone to agree, so for those who do not agree to this license update we still offer the choice to have their code removed from Roundcube. Please contact us in case you have serious objections against the GPLv3+ with exceptions for skins & plugins and you want your contributed code to be removed. Thanks for all your support, we're looking into an exciting future of Roundcube in the year 2012.
