Roundcube Webmail 1.2.0 released
by Thomas Bruederli 22 May '16

22 May '16

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 ;-) Best, Thomas [1] https://roundcube.net/news/2015/11/23/roundcube-webmail-1.2-beta-out-now [2] https://www.mailvelope.com/en/help#watchlist [3] https://kolabian.wordpress.com/2015/10/13/enigma-plugin-pgp-encryption/ [4] https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/wiki/Changelog

Trac platform migrated to Github
by Thomas Bruederli 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Dear subscribers After many ups and downs with our Trac platform which hosted our wiki and the ticket system for years now, we finally migrated the data over to Github where we already host the git repositories. Therefore, on March 25th 2016 the trac.roundcube.net site will be shut down Starting today, the site is in read-only mode meaning that user logins and ticket reporting have been disabled already. This means that submitting new tickets now goes through Github and so does the roadmap planning and overview. The entry point for that is our Github project page at https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail Today we just migrated 4.8K tickets from the Trac database to Github issues [1], leaving the invalid and duplicate ones behind. Unfortunately the ticket numbers could not be kept and have all been re-assigned. The original trac ticket numbers are mentioned in the migrated issue body and can be used for searching. We'll also install a redirect service which will translate old Trac urls to the corresponding issue pages. The wiki will also be translated into Github markdown pages. There's some manual reviewing involved in order to update or remove outdated information during this process. Please give us some more days to complete that task. Thank you for your understanding and see you on Github Best, Thomas [1] https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues

Security Updates 1.1.4 and 1.0.8 released
by Thomas Bruederli 26 Dec '15

26 Dec '15

Dear Roundcube users We just published updates to both stable versions 1.0 and 1.1 delivering important bug fixes one of which seals a potential path traversal vulnerability [1] recently reported by High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab. Although the vulnerability is not fully disclosed yet, the attack scenario requires an active Roundcube account as well as write privileges on the same host Roundcube is served from (without open_basedir protection). A second security improvement adds some measures against brute-force attacks. See the full changelog here: http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog#RELEASE1.1.4 Both versions are considered stable and we recommend to update all productive installations of Roundcube with either of these versions. Download them from https://roundcube.net/download If you prefer to patch your installation for the path traversal vulnerability only, we also published patches on our download mirrors for versions 1.0 [2] and 1.1 [3]. As usual, don't forget to backup your data before updating! Thanks for all your support and happy new year!

Roundcube Webmail 1.2-beta out now
by Thomas Bruederli 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

We're proud to announce that the beta release of the next major version 1.2 of Roundcube webmail is out now for download and testing. With this milestone we introduce new features primarily focusing on security and PGP encryption: * PHP7 compatibility * PGP encryption * Drag-n-drop attachments from mail preview to compose window * Mail messages searching with predefined date interval * Improved security measures to protect from brute-force attacks And of course plenty of small improvements and bug fixes. The PGP encryption support in Roundcube comes with two options: Mailvelope -------------- The integration of this browser plugin [1] for Firefox and Chrome comes out of the box in Roundcube 1.2 and is enabled if the Mailvelope API is detected in a user's browser. See the Mailvelope documentation [2] how to enable it for your site. Read more about the Mailvelope integration and how this looks like in Alec's blog [3]. Enigma plugin ------------------- This Roundcube plugin adds server-side PGP encryption features to Roundcube. Enabling this means that users need to fully trust the webmail server as encryption is done on the server GnuPG and private keys are also stored there. In order to activate server-side PGP encryption for all your users, the 'enigma' plugin, which is shipped with this package, has to be enabled in the Roundcube config. See the plugin's README for details. Also read Alec's blogpost about the Enigma plugin and how it works [4]. Both encryption features are pretty new and not yet perfectly documented. We'd much appreciate your feedback and your contribution to the end-user documentation [5] or our wiki page [6]. IMPORTANT: with this version, we finally deprecate some old Roundcube library functions [7]. Plugin developers, please test your plugins thoroughly and look for deprecation warnings in the logs. These function will be removed in the final 1.2.0 release and can therefore render plugins dysfunctional. See the full changelog on trac.roundcube.net [8] and download the new packages from https://roundcube.net/download Please note that this is a beta release and we recommend to test it on a separate environment. And don't forget to backup your data before installing it! Enjoy and please share your experience either through our mailing lists or as comments in the blog posts mentioned above. Kind regards, Thomas [1] https://www.mailvelope.com [2] https://www.mailvelope.com/en/help#watchlist [3] https://kolabian.wordpress.com/2015/10/10/mailvelope-integration-pgp-encryp… [4] https://kolabian.wordpress.com/2015/10/13/enigma-plugin-pgp-encryption/ [5] http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Online_Help [6] http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Dev_Encryption [7] https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/program/include/bc.p… [8] http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog

The excitement continues

Dear subscribers We're just a couple of days away from finishing our Roundcube Next crowd funding and the good news is: we already reached our base goal! That means Roundcube Next will get started and we can refactor the core of Roundcube and get basic email and contacts functionality in place. But that's just the start. If we can push the funding higher, then we can schedule more of the Roundcube Next goals as seen in the graphic on the campaign page. Without that extra support, it will simply take us longer to get there. Visit https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/roundcube-next--2#/story and get involved if you haven't already. Also on the campaign page: some sneak peeks on the visual concepts we've been working on in the past few weeks. The screens are far from being final or complete but you'll the the idea what the new webmail may look like on desktops and mobiles. So there's still time for you to make a difference. Back the campaign today and help us push even further! Best, Thomas and the Roundcube Team

Roundcube Next is coming and we need your help!
by Thomas Bruederli 06 May '15

06 May '15

Dear subscribers What started with the hypothetical question, "how would we implement Roundcube if we could start over again?" [1], has now grown into a concrete plan how to create the responsive, fast and beautiful successor of Roundcube. It has become clear that the architectural changes necessary for this are way too big to be applied to the current Roundcube codebase without breaking the compatibility in a major way. That's why we're planning to define Roundcube One as feature complete and focus on a new core engine for the future Roundcube webmail application. In order to make than happen, we can reply on long time partners who supported Roundcube already in the past. Kolab Systems has offered to drive this project by contributing their well established software development capabilities and dedicate additional developer power to help us get the work done. In addition to that, the folks from Kolab Digital in London are going to share their expertise on the UX and design part of it. Two major goals are important to us: Besides improving the core technology and modernizing the UI, we also aim to move some of the groupware features we currently see in the Kolab suite into Roundcube itself and make them available for other backends. And we'll certainly provide a migration path to existing Roundcube installations. So to enable us to achieve these high stake goals together for Roundcube Next we proudly announce our crowdfunding campaign at Indiegogo. Go to https://roundcu.be/next and back us if you can or help us spread the word about it. Your websites, blogs and social media channels can help us reach more people. Or if you're working for, or are a customer of, an ISP who's already using Roundcube, please forward this campaign to your product manager. Let's challenge today's email and create the most awesome webmail application people deserve to communicate freely using systems and services they can trust. The next Roundcube will of course again be 100% open source and made available to everybody. This is your chance to contribute to the success of free software. Many thanks to all of our past, current and future supporters! Sincerely, The Roundcube Dev Team [1] https://roundcubeinbox.wordpress.com/2014/09/12/roundcube-next-if-we-would-…
