Hello folks

We’re proud to announce that the beta release of the next major version 1.1 of Roundcube webmail is now available for download and testing. With this milestone we introduce a bunch of new features and some clean-up with the 3rd party libraries Roundcube uses:

• Allow searching across multiple folders
• Improved support for screen readers and assistive technology using

WCAG 2.0 andWAI ARIA standards

• Support images in HTML signatures (copy & paste)
• Added namespace filter and folder searching in folder manager
• New config option to disable UI elements/actions
• Stronger password encryption using OpenSSL
• Support for the IMAP SPECIAL-USE extension
• Support for Oracle databases
• Moved 3rd party libs to vendor directory, managed by Composer

And of course plenty of small improvements and bug fixes.

IMPORTANT: with this version, we dropped support for PHP < 5.3.7 and Internet Explorer < 9. IE7/IE8 support can be restored by enabling the 'legacy_browser' plugin.

See the complete Changelog at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog and download the packages from http://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.

Best, Thomas
