52    
53 wellsi 1.9 Changes in this release
54     =======================
55 slords 1.1
56 wellsi 1.5 Backups
57     -------
58 wellsi 1.10 - Restoring from a Workstation Backup showed a false failure.
59     - The Workstation Backup panel now removes leading and trailing spaces
60     from the hostname.
61    
62     Localisation
63     ------------
64     - Latest translation updates.
65     - Fix translation of local nic string in console.
66    
67     Mail Server
68     -----------
69     - Implement a database key (TlsBeforeAuth) to allow SMTP
70     Authentication without TLS. The default remains to require TLS before
71     Auth (introduced in SME 7.5).
72    
73     Server manager
74     --------------
75     - Add option to limit port forwarding by source ip address.
76     - Enable port forwards to localhost if mode is serveronly.
77     - Text description added for each Port Forwarding.
78    
79     Other fixes and updates
80     -----------------------
81     - VPN failed for some users due to incorrect kernel module.
82     - Error in postuninstall script prevented kmod packages from being
83     removed during upgrade.
84     - /etc/cron.daily/freshclam was replaced by a dummy file as freshclam
85     does not need to be run daily as it is run as a supervised process.
86    
87     Changes from SME 7.4 to SME 7.5
88     ===============================
89    
90     Backups
91     -------
92 wellsi 1.5 - The backup service has been made more robust:
93     Allow many backups in the same day.
94     Prevent launching a restore if all needed backups are not available.
95     Do not allow a restore from a partial backup.
96     - Some valid passwords would fail due to how the backup directory was
97     mounted, the use of a credentials file for mount.cifs now avoids this
98     limitation.
99     - The e-mail now correctly identifies incremental and full backups.
100 wellsi 1.9 - Make Workstation Backup 'full backup allowed on' setting stick across
101     revisits of the Configure page when set to 'Sunday'.
102     - Workstation Backup emails now include a To: header.
103 wellsi 1.5
104     File Server
105     -----------
106     - A patch was added to support multiple samba roles, the change is
107     transparent. However installing smeserver-adv-samba allows the user to
108     take advantage of additional server roles as detailed in
109     http://wiki.contribs.org/Advanced_Samba
110    
111     Localisation
112     ------------
113     - As part of a major update with translations we have added seven new
114     languages:
115     Thai, Polish, Romanian, Estonian, Chinese, Norwegian (Bokmal),
116     Russian.
117     - Other fixes include updated translations for the existing languages.
118    
119     Mail Server

121     - Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication capability has been
122     added for incoming smtp ehlo requests.
123 wellsi 1.10 - SMTP Authentication requires TLS before Auth to increase security.
124 wellsi 1.5 - Implement correctly the subject line SPAM tagging functionality.
125     - The syntax of the smtproutes and SMTPSmartHost templates have been
126     updated to avoid MX lookups
127     - Incoming mail could be incorrectly rejected by qpsmtpd plugin
128     require_resolvable_fromhost.
129     - Update to qpsmtpd 0.83
130 wellsi 1.9 - Update to ClamAV 0.96.1
131 wellsi 1.6 - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
132     - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.

134     See http://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Heuristic_Scan
135     - Rotate Virus scanning log files
136     - Remove the external preloaded library, qmail-workaround, which was
137     needed for qmail loopback connections if a domain MX resolves to
138     0.0.0.0. This has now been replaced by a patch to qmail itself.
139 wellsi 1.8 - Use HeloHost (if present) for SMTP auth proxy
140 wellsi 1.5
141     Server manager
142     --------------
143     - The reconfigure warning is displayed in subsequent browser sessions of
144     the server-manager when the server is updated from the Command Line,
145     or after a reboot, if a full reconfiguration has not been performed.
146     - Allow to select "check for updates" daily, weekly or monthly in the
147     Software Installer. Check for updates can also be disabled.
148     - Fix yum warnings about "another instance is running" when running a
149     second instance of yum from another terminal.
150 wellsi 1.8 - Improve the HTML formatting of the modify quota panel to work in IE8.
151 wellsi 1.5
152     Webmail and Groupware
153     ---------------------
154     - Horde, imp, turba and ingo have been updated to the latest versions
155     - Patch to make sure username is always saved in lowercase to horde db's
156     - Allow FQDN and non-FQDN access to webmail.
157     - The spell checker in Horde Mail has been enabled for HTML composition.
158     - Obsolete smeserver-trean < 0.1-8 as it makes the sidebar menu of the
159     webmail interface disappear.
160    
161     Web Server
162     ----------
163     - Implement a database key (SSLv2) which allows to disable certificates
164     signed with SSLv2, enabled by default to keep current behaviour.
165     - Add support for more MIME Types to Apache:
166     Openoffice 1.x, Openoffice 2.x
167     Microsoft Office 2007
168     XML
169     - SSL Certificates will now use a SHA1
170     - SSL Certificates will now use a 2048 bits key size
171    
172     Other fixes and updates
173     -----------------------
174     - From June 2009 smeserver-rkhunter was removed from smeos and made a
175     contrib.
176     - Do not allow re-allocation of deleted Windows user profiles.
177     - Template sshd login grace time
178     - Correct the configuration of smartd to monitor hard disk status, but
179     default to disabled.
180     - Display the boot time menu by default by removing the hiddenmenu entry
181     from the default grub.conf to be in line with the documentation.
182     - Enable error logging for MySQL.
183     - When user or group names with a "." in the names exist,
184     running /sbin/e-smith/audittools/aliases will show more than the
185     expected list.
186     - Improve the quality of the mirrors by using a network mirror-list. The
187     list is automatically generated hourly based on the status of the
188     current mirrors. By using these mirror-lists it is ensured that people
189     are directed to an updated mirror. When a mirror is added or removed
190     the change will be available quickly and automatically. It also
191     centralizes control of the mirror lists.
192     - Add yum-protect-packages support to prevent removal of needed
193     packages. This stops accidental removal of core SME Server packages.
194     - Introduced (weak) kernel modules which are independent of kernel
195     version. This means there is no need to update/rebuild kmods for each
196     kernel update.
197     - Fix for VPN access failed with buffer too small errors.
198 wellsi 1.6 - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
199 wellsi 1.9 - Reduce drive size requirements from 5G to 1.5G
