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.

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

After upgrade, I see this:
PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_FOUND_ROWS' in /var/www/webmail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_db_mysql.php on line 127,
Does this mean the upgrade, which reported no problems, did not in fact update something?

you need to load
- pdo.so
- pdo_mysql.so
in this order as you even quoted "Roundcube now uses the native PHP Data Objects (PDO)"
