The development team is pleased to announce the beta release for the next major version 1.7 of Roundcube webmail.
With this milestone we introduce a few breaking changes, some new features, and bring full support for PHP 8.4.
Some noteworthy changes are:
- Make public_html/ mandatory as entry-point for HTTP daemons, protecting all installations better.
- Improve support for OAuth2 (e.g. supporting OpenID Connect discovery URLs).
- A Mouse-over menu on the messages list with quick action icons.
- Advanced mail search syntax with more possibilities – you can now use e.g. is:unread to only match unread messages. The test file (https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/tests/Actions/Mail/SearchTest.php#L139) has a list of implemented keywords.
- Message parts of content-type text/markdown are now rendered to HTML (if they are designated for showing).
- Add a 'php' logging driver, which passes all log statements to PHP's error_log handler, allowing to unify all log output.
- Requires PHP v8.1 or newer.
Breaking Changes- Dropped support for PHP < 8.1.
- Removed support for MS SQL Server and Oracle.
- Make public_html/ entry-point mandatory, all static resources are served via static.php.
- Removed apc cache driver (replaced by apcu cache driver).
- Change smtp_log option default value to false.
For full details please see the release notes (https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.7-beta).
This is a beta release and we recommend to test it on a separate environment. Migrate existing configs with either the installto.sh or the update.sh scripts.
And don't forget to backup your data before installing it!
