[Roundcube Announce] Roundcube 1.7 RC released

The development team is pleased to announce the release candidate for the next major version 1.7 of Roundcube webmail!

With this milestone we introduce a few breaking changes (see below) and some further improvements in comparison to 1.7-beta2.

Some noteworthy changes are:

• Add scope parameter to contact search (#9863)
• Add ability to chose from all available contact fields on CSV import

(#9419)

• Add a new plugin called markdown_editor that provides an alternative

editor to compose emails using Markdown syntax.

• Add rel=’noopener’ to all links opening in a new window to mitigate

against misuse in older browsers.

Breaking Changes:

• Remove contact_search_name option in favor of

contactlist_name_template (#9832)

• Replace session attribute changed by expires_at (to allow for

variable session lengths per-user in a future change).

• Password: Removed the (insecure) virtualmin driver (#8007)

For full details and download links please read the release notes: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.7-rc

We believe it is production ready, but we recommend to test it on a separate environment.

Migrate existing configs with either the installto.sh or the update.sh scripts.

And don’t forget to backup your data before installing it!
