Hello folks,
We kind of made it a tradition in Roundcube to add some nasty bugs with every second release we publish :-)
This time a pull request accidentally was merged into the release branch instead of git-master where we usually do the testing. The effect of this bug is the compose screen randomly reloading and likely loosing the contents you're writing. There's a patch you can download [1] and apply to any 0.8.3 installation. And a new release will follow later this week.
We'd like to apologize for this inconvenience!
Best, Thomas

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention how exactly to apply the patch to the release package. You first have to restore source file, then patch it and afterwards re-create the minified version of app.js again:
$ bin/jsunshrink.sh $ patch -p1 < roundcubemail_0.8.3_compose_reload_fix.diff $ bin/jsshrink.sh
Regards, Thomas

argh, every mail from you makes it worse :-/
A short notice that bin/jsshrink requires a java runtime enviroment installed on the system would have been very helpful. Now I've unshrinked javascript files and no option to reshrink them. I'll do the required work on development systems in future.
This mail isn't meant offensive. Quite the opposite, I'm impressed by the high quality of roundcube and your work so far. Human errors are normal, not a big problem at all. But you might want to add more verbose documentation to your announcements in the future, that would be highly appreciated.
Keep up the great work!
Best regards, jonas

I don't have java runtime on my production box either, but I routinely shrink javascripts at http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home

I dis ask this already a while ago, but with no response:
Would somebody be so kind to explain to me the sense of (and reason for) those shrinked Javascript files? Currently it totally escapes me.

Faster page load on slow connections. I have users still on 56k at home, and the compressed javascript is a bit of an improvement.

Everything what you so in javascript are executed at client-site. A smaller Javascript-File is transfered quicker.
