Roundcube version 1.0-beta available for download
by Thomas Bruederli 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

Hello folks We’re proud to announce that the long awaited version 1.0 of Roundcube webmail is now available as beta release for download and testing. With this milestone we introduce some important changes to the configuration as well as some nice new features: Cleaned up the configuration into a single file Importing email messages and contact group assignments Advanced LDAP address book functionality A toggle to switch between HTML and plaintext view Save drafts in local storage for recovery Canned responses to save and recall boilerplate texts Improved keyboard navigation in messages list Attachment reminder plugin And of course plenty of small improvements and bug fixes. See the complete Changelog at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog and download the new packages from http://roundcube.net/download. WARNING: the old configuration files named main.inc.php and db.inc.php are now deprecated and should be replaced with one single config.inc.php file. Run the ./bin/update.sh script to get this conversion done or manually merge the files. NOTE: the new config.inc.php should only contain options that differ from the ones listed in defaults.inc.php. Please note that this is a beta release and we recommend to test it on a separate environment. Have fun! Thomas

Security updates 0.9.5 and 0.8.7
by Thomas Bruederli 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Dear Roundcube users We just published new releases which fix a recently reported vulnerability that allows an attacker to overwrite configuration settings using user preferences. This can result in random file access, manipulated SQL queries and even code execution. The latter one only affects versions 0.8.6 and older. Beside the security fix, the 0.9.5 release also includes other minor bug fixes and improvements. Most notably it brings the default spell checker back after Google suspended their public spell checking service. Please update your installations with the new versions or patch them with the fixes listed below for the various older versions of Roundcube. Download the new versions from http://roundcube.net/download Patch for 0.9.x: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/commit/4109bb26ce.diff Patch for 0.8.x: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/commit/eb433aa33c.diff Patch for 0.7.x: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/commit/1972037274.diff More information about the vulnerability will be published under CVE-2013-6172. Kind regards, Thomas

Update 0.9.4 release
by Thomas Bruederli 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Dear Roundcube lovers! It wouldn't be Roundcube if there wasn't a minor glitch in our stable releases every now and then :-) It so happened again in the recent 0.9.3 release where the new include_path check triggered some regex warnings on Windows systems. We apologize for this inconvenience! But we're trying hard to keep up and here's a new release which fixes that nasty bug together with some other reported issues that we considered worth being ported to the 0.9 release series. It's considered stable (really!) and we recommend to update all productive installations of Roundcube with this version. Download it from http://roundcube.net/download, see the full changelog in our wiki: http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog Kind regards, Thomas

Update 0.9.1 released
by Thomas Bruederli 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hello folks We proudly announce the first service release for the 0.9 series of Roundcube. As usual, it contains some bug fixes and improvements which didn't make it into the first stable version as well as some translation updates. After getting reports that some skin images weren't reloaded due to progressive cache settings, the packaged version now comes with unique urls of skin images referenced by templates and CSS files. If you're pulling the source directly from git you can achieve the same by running bin/updatecss.sh It's considered stable and we recommend to update all productive installations of Roundcube with this version. Download it from http://roundcube.net/download, see the full changelog here: http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog Have fun! Thomas

Stable version 0.9.0 released
by Thomas Bruederli 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello folks We can proudly announce the next stable release of Roundcube. This version enhances the webmail experience with these new features: * Improved rendering of forwarded and attached messages * Optionally display and compose email messages a new windows * Unified UI for message view and composition * Show sender photos from contacts in email view * Render thumbnails for image attachments * Download all attachments as zip archive (using the zipdownload plugin) * Forward multiple emails as attachments * CSV import for contacts The major change of this version isn't really visible to the users but even more important for the developers: the Roundcube framework. We decoupled the core functions for IMAP access, SMTP email sending, database abstraction, caching, etc. from the webmail application in order to make them usable for other free software products. Another major change since the 0.8 series is the new database abstraction layer. In order to add support for SQLite3, the PEAR:MDB2 dependency was dropped and Roundcube now uses the native PHP Data Objects (PDO). It's enabled by default since PHP 5.1 and is considered stable and well-developed. One drawback, however, is a small lack in the MySQL PDO driver which makes PHP 5.3 a requirement for this version of Roundcube when using the MySQL database. A minor but rather handy improvement is a complete new database update mechanism that makes schema changes much easier to be deployed. After the upgrade, simply run bin/updatedb.sh to apply the necessary changes to the database Roundcube connects to. In case you used bin/installto.sh to perform the update, the schema upgrades are done applied and no further actions are required. After lots of testing and collecting your feedback, this version is considered stable and it also includes the recently discovered vulnerability that allows an attacker to modify its users preferences in a way that he can then read arbitrary files from the server. We therefore recommend to update all productive installations of Roundcube. Download both the webmail and the framework packages from http://roundcube.net/download Read the full list of changes here: http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog IMPORTANT: We're still 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 once more to enter an URL to the option named 'support_url' in the Roundcube config. This will be display a link on all screens including the login page that should guide your users to instructions how to get help for your specific email service that uses Roundcube. Thanks a lot for using Roundcube and for your support! Best, Thomas

Security updates 0.8.6 and 0.7.3 for save-pref vulnerability
by Thomas Bruederli 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

After getting reports about a possible vulnerability of Roundcube which allows an attacker to modify its users preferences in a way that he/she can then read files from the server, we now published updated packages as well as patches that fix this security issue. Please update all your Roundcube installations with the new versions (0.9-rc2, 0.8.6, 0.7.4) or patch them with the published patches. Download the latest version from http://roundcube.net/download Patch for 0.9.x: http://ow.ly/jtQD0 Patch for 0.8.x: http://ow.ly/jtQHM Patch for 0.7.x: http://ow.ly/jtQK0 Patch for 0.6: http://ow.ly/jtQNd In order to find out whether one of your users has vulnerable preferences, you can run the following query on the Roundcube user database: SELECT * FROM users WHERE preferences LIKE '%generic_message_footer%' If this returns any results, you should at least clear the 'preferences' field of that user entry. Or better: entirely block the user because he or she most likely tried to exploit your system. And here's some background about the vulnerability: http://lists.roundcube.net/pipermail/dev/2013-March/022328.html Best regards, Thomas

Release candidate for version 0.9
by Thomas Bruederli 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hello all, We just published the feature-complete release candidate for the upcoming version 0.9. After adding some neat new features in 0.9-beta we now stabilized the code for the final release. Read http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog for details. Download it from http://roundcube.net/download and update your testing systems. Use either the installto.sh or update.sh scripts to do the update as described in the UPGRADING instructions. These will take advantage of the new database schema upgrade mechanism we just added. That should make it easier and safer to keep the local database schema up-to-date with the new versions. And please report remaining bugs to our bug tracker. Best regards, Thomas

Release 0.9-beta ready for download
by Thomas Bruederli 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Dear friends of Roundcube We're proud to announce the beta release of the next major version 0.9. With this milestone we introduce some important changes under the hood as well as some nice and long-awaited features: * First of all, the Roundcube Framework. The core classes providing the strong base of Roundcube's functionality have been extracted and decoupled into a Framework package. They can be used individually in other open source projects looking for solid functionality around IMAP, SMTP, MIME-handling and more. * Another major change is the new database abstraction. In order to add support for SQLite3 the PEAR:MDB2 dependency was dropped and Roundcube now uses the native PHP Data Objects (PDO). ATTENTION: due a small lack in the MySQL PDO driver, this version of Roundcube requires PHP 5.3 when using the MySQL database. * Finally we also added some new features: - Download all attachments as zip archive (zip module required) - Render thumbnails for image attachments (imagemagick is recommended) - Compose and mail view in new windows (configurable in user settings) - Upload attachment files and contact photos with drag & drop - Forward multiple emails as attachments - Show contact photos in mail view - CSV import for contacts And of course plenty of small improvements and bug fixes. See the complete Changelog at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog and download the new packages from http://roundcube.net/download. Please note that this is still a beta release and we recommend to test it on a separate environment. And don't forget to backup your data before installing. Have fun and let us know how the new Roundcube performs in your environment. Cheers, Thomas P.S. We're still looking for volunteers helping us to keep the translations of the Roundcube UI up-to-date. To make it even easier for you, we recently moved to Transifex. Visit our project at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/roundcube-webmail/ and join our translation teams.
