- Changes in this release
+ Summary of changes from SME 7.5 RC1
- =======================
+ ===================================
+ Mail Server
+ - Update to ClamAV 0.96
+ - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
+ - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.
+ - Use HeloHost (if present) for SMTP auth proxy
+ Server manager
+ - Improve the HTML formatting of the modify quota panel to work in IE8.
+ Installer
+ - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
+ Changes from SME 7.4
+ ====================
+ Backups
+ -------
+ - The backup service has been made more robust:
+   Allow many backups in the same day.
+   Prevent launching a restore if all needed backups are not available.
+   Do not allow a restore from a partial backup.
+ - Some valid passwords would fail due to how the backup directory was
+   mounted, the use of a credentials file for mount.cifs now avoids this
+   limitation.
+ - The e-mail now correctly identifies incremental and full backups.
+ - Make workstation-backup 'full backup allowed on'-setting stick across
+   revisits of the Configure-page when set to: 'Sunday'
+ File Server
+ -----------
+ - A patch was added to support multiple samba roles, the change is
+   transparent. However installing smeserver-adv-samba allows the user to
+   take advantage of additional server roles as detailed in
+   http://wiki.contribs.org/Advanced_Samba
+ Localisation
+ ------------
+ - As part of a major update with translations we have added seven new
+   languages:
+   Thai, Polish, Romanian, Estonian, Chinese, Norwegian (Bokmal),
+   Russian.
+ - Other fixes include updated translations for the existing languages.
+ Mail Server
+ -----------
+ - Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication capability has been
+   added for incoming smtp ehlo requests.
+ - Implement correctly the subject line SPAM tagging functionality.
+ - The syntax of the smtproutes and SMTPSmartHost templates have been
+   updated to avoid MX lookups
+ - Incoming mail could be incorrectly rejected by qpsmtpd plugin
+   require_resolvable_fromhost.
+ - Update to qpsmtpd 0.83
+ - Update to ClamAV 0.96
+ - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
+ - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.
+ - HeuristicScanPrecedence is a new option in clamav 0.94.
+   See http://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Heuristic_Scan
+ - Rotate Virus scanning log files
+ - Remove the external preloaded library, qmail-workaround, which was
+   needed for qmail loopback connections if a domain MX resolves to
+.0.0.0. This has now been replaced by a patch to qmail itself.
+ - Use HeloHost (if present) for SMTP auth proxy
+ Server manager
+ --------------
+ - The reconfigure warning is displayed in subsequent browser sessions of
+   the server-manager when the server is updated from the Command Line,
+   or after a reboot, if a full reconfiguration has not been performed.
+ - Allow to select "check for updates" daily, weekly or monthly in the
+   Software Installer. Check for updates can also be disabled.
+ - Fix yum warnings about "another instance is running" when running a
+   second instance of yum from another terminal.
+ - Improve the HTML formatting of the modify quota panel to work in IE8.
+ Webmail and Groupware
+ ---------------------
+ - Horde, imp, turba and ingo have been updated to the latest versions
+ - Patch to make sure username is always saved in lowercase to horde db's
+ - Allow FQDN and non-FQDN access to webmail.
+ - The spell checker in Horde Mail has been enabled for HTML composition.
+ - Obsolete smeserver-trean < 0.1-8 as it makes the sidebar menu of the
+   webmail interface disappear.
+ Web Server
+ ----------
+ - Implement a database key (SSLv2) which allows to disable certificates
+   signed with SSLv2, enabled by default to keep current behaviour.
+ - Add support for more MIME Types to Apache:
+      Openoffice 1.x, Openoffice 2.x
+      Microsoft Office 2007
+      XML
+ - SSL Certificates will now use a SHA1
+ - SSL Certificates will now use a 2048 bits key size
+ Other fixes and updates
+ -----------------------
+ - From June 2009 smeserver-rkhunter was removed from smeos and made a
+   contrib.
+ - Do not allow re-allocation of deleted Windows user profiles.
+ - Template sshd login grace time
+ - Correct the configuration of smartd to monitor hard disk status, but
+   default to disabled.
+ - Display the boot time menu by default by removing the hiddenmenu entry
+   from the default grub.conf to be in line with the documentation.
+ - Enable error logging for MySQL.
+ - When user or group names with a "." in the names exist,
+   running /sbin/e-smith/audittools/aliases will show more than the
+   expected list.
+ - Improve the quality of the mirrors by using a network mirror-list. The
+   list is automatically generated hourly based on the status of the
+   current mirrors. By using these mirror-lists it is ensured that people
+   are directed to an updated mirror. When a mirror is added or removed
+   the change will be available quickly and automatically. It also
+   centralizes control of the mirror lists.
+ - Add yum-protect-packages support to prevent removal of needed
+   packages. This stops accidental removal of core SME Server packages.
+ - Introduced (weak) kernel modules which are independent of kernel
+   version. This means there is no need to update/rebuild kmods for each
+   kernel update.
+ - Fix for VPN access failed with buffer too small errors.
+ - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
