Sorry folks, don't have a github account.
When upgrading to 1.7.0 I am greeted with an error (500 I believe) in the logs I see:
DB Error: [1054] Unknown column 'expires_at' in 'INSERT INTO' (SQL Query: INSERT INTO `session` (`sess_id`, `vars`, `ip`, `expires_at`) VALUES ('...', '192.168.1.228', now() + INTERVAL 36000 SECOND)) in /etc/mailwww/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db.php on line 553 (GET /mail/...)

My workaround for now, add to config.inc.php:
$config['session_storage'] = 'php';
Then all works, I do prefer to use the database for session storage though. Seen this happen on 2 different instances.
Thanks, Barry

This is the stable release of the next major version 1.7 of Roundcube Webmail.
After almost four years of development we introduce a few breaking changes, some new features, and bring support for recent PHP versions. With automated code style and quality checks, removed code bloat and updated dependencies, we hope for even more codebase quality.
Some noteworthy changes are:
- Mandatory `public_html/` entry-point for HTTP servers, protecting all installations better.
- Improved OAuth2/OIDC support (e.g. support for OIDC discovery, OIDC logout).
- Markdown mail rendering and composing.
- A quick actions mouse-over menu on the messages list.
- Advanced mail search syntax.
## Breaking Changes
- Dropped support for PHP < 8.1.
- Dropped support for Internet Explorer.
- Dropped support for MS SQL Server and Oracle.
- `public_html/` entry-point made mandatory, all static resources are served via `public_html/static.php`.
- Removed `apc` cache driver (replaced by `apcu` cache driver).
- Changed `smtp_log` option default value to `false`.
- Removed `contact_search_name` option in favor of `contactlist_name_template`.
- Replaced session property `changed` by `expires_at`.
- Removed the (insecure) virtualmin password driver.
This release is considered stable and we encourage you to update your productive installations after carefully testing the upgrade scenario.
With the release of Roundcube 1.7.0, the previous stable release branch 1.6.x changes into an LTS (low maintenance) mode which means it will only receive important security updates. The 1.5.x series is no longer supported and maintained.
And don't forget to backup your data before installing it!
