[SKaero]

We proudly announce the release of the next major version 1.6 of Roundcube webmail. With this milestone we cleaned up the codebase and bring full support for PHP 8.1. The most noteworthy changes, as already announced with the beta release, are:

• PHP 8.1 support
• Dropped support for PHP < 7.3
• Support responses (snippets) in HTML format
• Option to purge deleted mails older than 30, 60 or 90 days
• Unified and simplified services connection config options
• Removed the Classic and Larry skins from the release packages
• SQLite: Use foreign keys, require SQLite >= 3.6.19

See the full changelog in the release notes on the Github download page.

Breaking Changes to 1.5 and prior versions
The following config options have either been removed or renamed:

• IMAP:
  
  
  
  • renamed default_host to imap_host
  • removed default_port option (non-standard port can be set via imap_host)
  • set "localhost:143" as a default for imap_host
• SMTP:
  
  
  
  • renamed smtp_server to smtp_host
  • removed smtp_port option (non-standard port can be set via smtp_host)
  • set "localhost:587" as a default for smtp_host
• LDAP:
  
  
  
  • removed port option from ldap_public array (non-standard port can be set via host)
  • removed use_tls option from ldap_public array (use tls:// prefix in host)
• Managesieve:
  
  
  
  • removed managesieve_port option (non-standard port can be set via managesieve_host)
  • removed managesieve_usetls option (set tls:// prefix to managesieve_host)

The skins Larry and Classic are no longer part of the release packages. If you used them in your deployment, you need to install them manually. That can easily be done via Composer:

Code Select Expand


$ composer require roundcube/larry


This release is considered stable and we encourage you to update your productive installations after carefully testing the upgrade scenario. Download it from roundcube.net.

With the release of Roundcube 1.6.0, the previous stable release branches 1.5.x and 1.5.x will change into LTS low maintenance mode which means they will only receive important security updates. The 1.3.x series is no longer supported and maintained.

In cPanel Apps, Roundcube 1.5.3 is the Newest Version.  :--)

Version : 1.5.3

Release Date : 06-27-2022

Also, I Haven't been Up to Date with Roundcube for a couple years or so.  Does Roundcube Have a Long Needed Admin Panel yet?!  :--)

That isn't managed by Roundcube so cPanel (I'm guessing) would need to upgrade their version.

Also, I Haven't been Up to Date with Roundcube for a couple years or so.  Does Roundcube Have a Long Needed Admin Panel yet?!  :--)

No there isn't a admin panel for Roundcube. I'm not really sure what could go into a admin panel for Roundcube that would make it make sense.

Okay, a R C admin panel used to be mentioned for future versions.  It looks like R C Changed the plans for that.

Last week, cPanel went from 1.5.3 to 1.6.1.  On this forum site, there's No mention of 1.6.1.  How did cPanel get ahead of the R C forum site?

On my ancient install, and on my 1.6.1 install, I have the SMTP User & Pass as below.  On 1.6.1, it Won't let me log in.  It's saying connection to the storage server failed.  I'm currently Not remembering how to fix that.  😎

$config['smtp_user'] = '%u';

$config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';

[Dmitry42]

"storage server failed" - I think problem not in SMTP.
May be SQL ?

I use 1.6.1 and its work

$config['smtp_host'] = 'localhost:587';
$config['smtp_user'] = '%u';
$config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';

The IMAP had the below config line:

$config['imap_host'] = 'ssl://mail.royalemail.club:143&#39;;

After I changed it to the config lines below this, I can log in.   

$config['default_host'] = 'localhost';

// TCP port used for IMAP connections
$config['default_port'] = '143';

[Dmitry42]

I think problem was in your old config using SSL with 143 port -  usually 143 port must be connected without security.
ssl/tls usually used with 993 IMAP port. So when you set $config['default_host'] = 'localhost'; - its work with clear IMAP on 143 port.

If your RC on the same host where your mail server - I think imap is enough. But if RC on another server - you better use SSL or TLS for connect to mail.
Its more securely.

P.S.
And your config string $config['default_port'] = '143'; is deprecated in 1.6.1 - removed default_port option (non-standard port can be set via imap_host) - its written in first message of this thread.

I changed it to 993 on my outdated install, and on my 1.6.1 install.  Thanks!  😎

Also, I added my animated emojis / emoticons to 1.6.1 the Same way as I've had that for years.  However, a pop up error message is saying the below message.  Did that plugin Change?   

Failed to initialize plugin: emoticons

[Dmitry42]

2 way )))

1. Ask plugin developer upgrade it for 1.6.1
2. Do upgrade by your hand (if you know PHP)

[ElasticUser]

I'll see if an Upgraded version of the Emoticons plugin helps.   

[Dmitry42]

I enable emoticons plugin - and its work on 1.6.1 without any problems.

[ElasticUser]

Dmitry42:  Yes, emoticons runs on version 1.6.1 via my computer.  However, Not on my phone.  Also, TinyMCE changed, and there Doesn't appear to be a way to add custom emoticons anymore.  Only the default boring Non animated emoticons.   

[ElasticUser]

Dmitry42:  I started using version 1.4.13.  That's the Last version that allows emoticons on both phones, and computers, as well as the Last version that allows adding Custom emoticons!
