Dear subscribers
We proudly announce the stable version 1.3.0 of Roundcube Webmail
which is now available for download.
With this milestone we introduce new features since the 1.2 version:
- Widescreen layout aka Three Column View
- Possibility to display QR code for contacts data
- New identicon plugin [1]
- Attach contact vCards to composed message
- Support WEBP images and MathML preview
- Preview, download and rename attachments when composing a message
- Message/rfc822 attachment preview
- Various Enigma (PGP) and Managesieve plugin improvements
- “Flattened” the Larry theme giving it a fresher look
Plus security and deployment improvements:
- Improve randomness of password salts and random hashes
- Fixed redundancy in sql caching system and compatibility with Galera Cluster
And finally some code-cleanup:
- Dropped support for legacy browsers (IE < 10; removed legacy_browser plugin)
- Require PHP >= 5.4
- Removed PHP mail() support
- Removed 3rd party javascript libraries from the repository
- Require jQuery 3.x which has breaking changes to older versions
IMPORTANT: The code-cleanup part brings major changes and possibly
incompatibilities to your existing Roundcube installations.
So please read the Changelog [2] carefully and thoroughly test your
upgrade scenario.
Please note that Roundcube 1.3
1. no longer runs on PHP 5.3
2. no longer supports IE < 10 and old versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari
3. requires an SMTP server connection to send mails
4. uses jQuery 3.2 and will not work with current jQuery mobile plugin
With the release of Roundcube 1.3.0, the previous stable release
branches 1.2.x and 1.1.x will switch in to LTS low maintenance mode
which means they will only receive important security updates but no
longer any regular improvement updates.
See the complete Changelog in our wiki [2] and download the new
packages from https://roundcube.net/download.
Roundcube 1.3.0 is considered stable and we recommend to update all
productive installations of Roundcube. As usual, don’t forget to
backup and test with your custom plugins.
Best,
Alec & Thomas

Dear subscribers
We just published updates to all stable versions 1.x delivering important
bug fixes and improvements which we picked from the upstream branch.
The updates primarily fix a recently discovered vulnerability in the
virtualmin and sasl drivers of the password plugin (CVE-2017-8114). More
details about this vulnerability will be published soon by the reporter.
Security-wise the update is therefore only relevant for those installations
of Roundcube using the password plugin with either one of these drivers.
See the full changelog for the according version in the release notes on
the Github download pages:
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.2.5https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.1.9https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.0.11
All versions are considered stable and we recommend to update all
productive installations of Roundcube with either of these versions.
As usual, don’t forget to backup your data before updating!
Kind regards,
Thomas
Dear subscribers
We proudly announce that the feature-complete release candidate for the
next major version 1.3 of Roundcube webmail is now available for final
testing.
After dropping support for older browsers and PHP versions and adding some
new features like the widescreen layout, the release candidate finalizes
that work and also fixes two security issues (updates for stable versions
will follow) plus adds improvements to the Managesieve and Enigma plugins.
We also slightly polished the Larry theme to make it look a little less
2010 :-)
Although the default theme still doesn’t work on mobile devices, a fully
responsive skin is currently being worked on.
As a reminder: if you’re installing the dependent package or run Roundcube
directly from source, you now need to install the removed 3rd party
javascript modules by executing the following install script:
$ bin/install-jsdeps.sh
With the upcoming stable release of 1.3.0 the old 1.x series will only
receive important security fixes.
As usual, see the complete Changelog in our wiki [1] and download the new
packages from https://roundcube.net/download.
Please note that this is a release candidate and we recommend to test it on
a separate environment. And don’t forget to backup your data before
installing it.
Kind regards,
Thomas

Dear subscribers, we wish you all a happy new year!
Today we published the beta release of the next major version 1.3 of
Roundcube webmail.
With this milestone we introduce some new features:
- Widescreen layout aka Three Column View
- Possibility to display QR code for contacts data
- New identicon plugin
- Attach contact vCards to composed message
- Support WEBP images and MathML preview
- Preview, download and rename attachments when composing a message
- message/rfc822 attachment preview
- Various Enigma (PGP) and Managesieve plugin improvements
Plus security and deployment improvements:
- Improve randomness of password salts and random hashes
- Fixed redundancy in sql caching system and compatibility with Galera
Cluster
And finally some code-cleanup:
- Dropped support for legacy browsers (IE < 10; removed 'legacy_browser'
plugin)
- Require PHP >= 5.4
- Removed PHP mail() support
- Removed 3rd party javascript libraries from repo
IMPORTANT: The code-cleanup part brings major changes and possibly
incompatibilities to your existing Roundcube installations. So please read
the changelog [1] carefully and thoroughly test your upgrade scenario.
Please note that Roundcube 1.3
1. no longer runs on PHP 5.3
2. no longer supports IE < 10 and old versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari
3. requires an SMTP server connection to send mails
That last item means you need to review your SMTP server settings as
described in our wiki [2] if you have set the smtp_server option to an
empty value and are thus using PHP’s mail() function.
In case you're running Roundcube directly from source, you now need to
install the removed 3rd party javascript modules by executing the following
install script:
$ bin/install-jsdeps.sh
See the complete Changelog [1] and download the new packages from Github
[3].
This is a beta release and we recommend to test it on a separate
environment.
And as usual, don't forget to backup your data before installing it.
We're keen to hear your feedback about the new release.
Best,
Thomas & Alec

Dear subscribers
We just published another update to the both stable versions 1.2 and
1.1 delivering important bug fixes and improvements which we picked
from the upstream branch.
Included is a fix for a recently revealed security issue when using
PHP's mail() function. It has been discovered and kindly reported by
Robin Peraglie using the static code analyzer RIPS [1] and more
details along with a CVE number will be published shortly.
See the full changelog for 1.2.3 in the wiki [2]. Version 1.1.7 is a
security update fixing the mail() issue and thus only relevant to
Roundcube installations not having an SMTP server configured for mail
delivery.
Both versions are considered stable and we recommend to update all
productive installations of Roundcube with either of these versions.
Download them from GitHub via https://roundcube.net/download.
As usual, don't forget to backup your data before updating!

Dear subscribers
We just published the first service release to update the stable
version 1.2. It contains some important bug fixes and improvements in
the recently introduced Enigma plugin for PGP encryption. See the
detailed Changelog in the wiki [1] or on the the release page [2].
This release is considered stable and we recommend to update all
productive installations of Roundcube with this version. Download it
from GitHub via https://roundcube.net/download.

[2] https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.2.1
Dear subscribers
Today we proudly announce the stable version 1.2.0 of Roundcube
Webmail which is now available for download. It introduces new
features since version 1.1 covering security and PGP encryption
topics:
- PHP7 compatibility
- PGP encryption
- Drag-n-drop attachments from mail preview to compose window
- Mail messages searching with pre-defined date interval
- Improved security measures to protect from brute-force attacks
And of course plenty of small improvements and bug fixes.
There wasn't much feedback on the 1.2-beta version and the release
candidate which we consider a good sign. Some cleanup and
stabilization of the Enigma plugin just happened for the now stable
version.
As already announced with the 1.2-beta release [1], PGP encryption
comes in two flavors: client-side using the Mailvelope browser
extension and server-side with the Enigma plugin using GnuPG on the
server.
Support with the Mailvelope browser plugin comes out of the box and is
automatically enabled if the Mailvelope API is detected in a user’s
browser. The Mailvelope documentation [2] explains how to enable it
for your site.
The features of the Enigma plugin, which comes with the release
package and simply needs to be activated for your Roundcube
installation are explained in Alec's blog post [3].
With the release of Roundcube 1.2.0, the previous stable release
branches 1.0.x and 1.1.x will switch in to LTS low maintenance mode
which means they will only receive important security updates but no
longer any regular improvements from upstream.
See the complete Changelog in our wiki [4] and download the new
packages from https://roundcube.net/download.
Roundcube 1.2.0 is considered stable and we recommend to update all
productive installations of Roundcube. As usual, don’t forget to
backup your data before updating ;-)

Thomas
