Hello Roundcube lovers and list lurkers
After another round of bugfixing we're happy to announce the stable release of Roundcube webmail version 0.7. Beside fixing the generously reported bugs we also added some security improvements which will protect the Roundcube users from XSS and clickjacking attacks. While most of the modern browser already provide good production for such, we addressed the security of older browsers by doing some more content filtering and environment analysis.
With this release Roundcube also passes the email standards project's acid test. See http://www.email-standards.org/acid-test for details and help spread the word about it.
We recommend to update all existing Roundcube installations with this version. Get it now from http://roundcube.net/download and give it a try.
After completing that milestone we're now focusing on the implementation of your new skin which should become part of the next release.
Also we're observing with great pleasure that Roundcube becomes more and more popular and meanwhile ships with sophisticated server software such as the Kolab Groupware or Mac OS X Lion Server. Thanks for your confidence and your support!
Have fun! Thomas
Thanks for the lastest release. We are curious what the time line for the new skin is going to be, and if you have any dates in mind for release?

We don't have a concrete deadline but I'd expect a first 0.8-alpha or beta release with the new skin in early February. Then all the plugin developers need some time to adapt their plugins to the new UI. And of course a lot of Internet Explorer Hacking will be necessary...

Thomas, is the plan to completely replace the existing skin, or will both co-exist for a release or two? I don't imagine that anyone wants to maintain 2 skins for very long...

Then plan is to put the new skin in place of the "default" skin once it is complete and tested while keeping the old default skin as "legacy" skin for at least one major release. We'll most likley drop support for IE6 with the new skin and old IEs will therefore get to see the legacy skin.
Of course, we're not keen on maintaining two skins in parallel so expect the legacy skin to stay at the current state and being removed after a while. But in case somebody is willing to "bring back the old design" and to maintain the old skin, there's still a chance for it to survive the armageddon.
