26     SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
27     enterprises.
28    
29 wellsi 1.5 SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and
30     is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.
31 slords 1.1 However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on
32     meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc.
33    
34    
35     Thanks
36     ======
37 wellsi 1.5 The development team would like to thank all of those involved in this
38     release. More people are required to help with bug triage and
39     verification testing.
40    
41     This release contains many new features, all released updates for SME
42     Server 7.4 and fixes for many reported problems. Upgrades will be
43     available by CD, the Software Installer and command line.
44 slords 1.1
45    
46     Upgrades
47     ========

50    
51    
52 wellsi 1.9 Changes in this release
53     =======================
54 slords 1.1
55 wellsi 1.5 Backups
56     -------
57     - The backup service has been made more robust:
58     Allow many backups in the same day.
59     Prevent launching a restore if all needed backups are not available.
60     Do not allow a restore from a partial backup.
61     - Some valid passwords would fail due to how the backup directory was
62     mounted, the use of a credentials file for mount.cifs now avoids this
63     limitation.
64     - The e-mail now correctly identifies incremental and full backups.
65 wellsi 1.9 - Make Workstation Backup 'full backup allowed on' setting stick across
66     revisits of the Configure page when set to 'Sunday'.
67     - Workstation Backup emails now include a To: header.
68 wellsi 1.5
69     File Server
70     -----------
71     - A patch was added to support multiple samba roles, the change is
72     transparent. However installing smeserver-adv-samba allows the user to
73     take advantage of additional server roles as detailed in
74     http://wiki.contribs.org/Advanced_Samba
75    
76     Localisation
77     ------------
78     - As part of a major update with translations we have added seven new
79     languages:
80     Thai, Polish, Romanian, Estonian, Chinese, Norwegian (Bokmal),
81     Russian.
82     - Other fixes include updated translations for the existing languages.
83    
84     Mail Server
85     -----------
86     - Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication capability has been
87     added for incoming smtp ehlo requests.
88     - Implement correctly the subject line SPAM tagging functionality.
89     - The syntax of the smtproutes and SMTPSmartHost templates have been
90     updated to avoid MX lookups
91     - Incoming mail could be incorrectly rejected by qpsmtpd plugin
92     require_resolvable_fromhost.
93     - Update to qpsmtpd 0.83
94 wellsi 1.9 - Update to ClamAV 0.96.1
95 wellsi 1.6 - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
96     - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.
97 wellsi 1.5 - HeuristicScanPrecedence is a new option in clamav 0.94.
98     See http://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Heuristic_Scan
99     - Rotate Virus scanning log files
100     - Remove the external preloaded library, qmail-workaround, which was
101     needed for qmail loopback connections if a domain MX resolves to
102     0.0.0.0. This has now been replaced by a patch to qmail itself.
103 wellsi 1.8 - Use HeloHost (if present) for SMTP auth proxy
104 wellsi 1.5
105     Server manager
106     --------------
107     - The reconfigure warning is displayed in subsequent browser sessions of
108     the server-manager when the server is updated from the Command Line,
109     or after a reboot, if a full reconfiguration has not been performed.
110     - Allow to select "check for updates" daily, weekly or monthly in the
111     Software Installer. Check for updates can also be disabled.
112     - Fix yum warnings about "another instance is running" when running a
113     second instance of yum from another terminal.
114 wellsi 1.8 - Improve the HTML formatting of the modify quota panel to work in IE8.
115 wellsi 1.5
116     Webmail and Groupware
117     ---------------------
118     - Horde, imp, turba and ingo have been updated to the latest versions
119     - Patch to make sure username is always saved in lowercase to horde db's
120     - Allow FQDN and non-FQDN access to webmail.
121     - The spell checker in Horde Mail has been enabled for HTML composition.
122     - Obsolete smeserver-trean < 0.1-8 as it makes the sidebar menu of the
123     webmail interface disappear.
124    
125     Web Server
126     ----------
127     - Implement a database key (SSLv2) which allows to disable certificates
128     signed with SSLv2, enabled by default to keep current behaviour.
129     - Add support for more MIME Types to Apache:
130     Openoffice 1.x, Openoffice 2.x
131     Microsoft Office 2007
132     XML
133     - SSL Certificates will now use a SHA1
134     - SSL Certificates will now use a 2048 bits key size
135    
136     Other fixes and updates
137     -----------------------
138     - From June 2009 smeserver-rkhunter was removed from smeos and made a
139     contrib.
140     - Do not allow re-allocation of deleted Windows user profiles.
141     - Template sshd login grace time
142     - Correct the configuration of smartd to monitor hard disk status, but
143     default to disabled.
144     - Display the boot time menu by default by removing the hiddenmenu entry
145     from the default grub.conf to be in line with the documentation.
146     - Enable error logging for MySQL.
147     - When user or group names with a "." in the names exist,
148     running /sbin/e-smith/audittools/aliases will show more than the
149     expected list.
150     - Improve the quality of the mirrors by using a network mirror-list. The
151     list is automatically generated hourly based on the status of the
152     current mirrors. By using these mirror-lists it is ensured that people
153     are directed to an updated mirror. When a mirror is added or removed
154     the change will be available quickly and automatically. It also
155     centralizes control of the mirror lists.
156     - Add yum-protect-packages support to prevent removal of needed
157     packages. This stops accidental removal of core SME Server packages.
158     - Introduced (weak) kernel modules which are independent of kernel
159     version. This means there is no need to update/rebuild kmods for each
160     kernel update.
161     - Fix for VPN access failed with buffer too small errors.
162 wellsi 1.6 - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
163 wellsi 1.9 - Reduce drive size requirements from 5G to 1.5G
