57  =======================  =======================
58    
59  Installer  This will be updated for 7.5 RC, here are the changelogs
 ---------  
 - Fix grub label to keep consistent with the SME Server brand.  
   
 Mail system changes  
 -------------------  
 - Introduce a web interface to configure the pseudonym "visible" property  
   (internal|external)  
 - New feature now allows a "catch all" situation where you have the ability  
   to redirect "@virtualdomain1.com" to user "joe".  
 - Fix the "Ugly" log messages (Use of uninitialized value) when spam checking  
   results in 0 hits.  
 - Emails sent to a null address like ""@domain without the username part  
   are now rejected.  
 - qplogsumm is a optional feature that should be disabled by default.  
 - A request that the log information is reduced with the default loglevel  
   setting of 6 in qpsmtpd.  
 - Support for sending mail to ISP via Secure SMTP  
 - Enable the auth plugin for local lan connections  
 - Migrate (remove) "ordb.net" from the RBL lists to prevent mail bouncing.  
 - Remove blackhole.securitysage.com as service no longer in use.  
 - Remove sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org  from default lists and use a more improved  
   list in zen.spamhaus.org.  
   
 Console  
 -------  
 - Improved validation will check password on first enter password screen  
   before verifying if too simple then asking to verify and proceed to  
   configuration of server.  
 - Passwords should be validated for strength on first entry rather than  
   waiting for the second confirmation entry.  
 - The console should validate passwords using the common method,  
   using esmith::util::validatePassword  
 - The last item in the server console, "Exit from server console", is removed  
   as it is redundant.  
 - Display frames in console server-manager.  
   When browsing server-manager through console pressing 'H' goes to  
   http://localhost/server-manager  
   
 Backups  
 -------  
 - Backups now use dar which enables a backup to consist of more than 2GB  
   of data to a workstation in any of the following supported methods:  
   cifs, nfs or local usb disk. It also gives the option to set how many  
   rotating backups are required and allows to split size of backup  
   to DVD size.  
 - Removed 'restore from desktop' functionality  
 - The error codes from tar are now logged, in line with flexbackup, and do not  
   cause a backup to fail.  
 - A Iomeage USB REV-drive was by default mounted in /media as a cdrom device.  
   It is now automagically mounted as an usbdisk so it can be used as a backup  
   device without manual intervention.  
 - Set dar compression to default to gzip  
 - dar backup to be less verbose in panel  
 - Correct mounting for usb disks  
 - no compression for ogg media files  
 - Make dar use defined list of directories to backup  
 - Remove obsolete smbfs backup method  
     
   
 Localisation  
 ------------  
 As part of a major update with translations we have added six new  
 languages and made it much easier to add other languages in the  
 future.  
   
 We now support the following languages in the server-manager: Danish,  
 Dutch, English, French, Greek, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian,  
 Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.  
   
 We have made major strides to assist the non-English community by  
 using a tool called pootle.  This is a web based translation tool that  
 will allow new languages to be added and existing languages to be more  
 easily maintained.  
   
 We have cleaned up a lot of the packages as a part of getting them to  
 work with pootle.  Another big change as part of this upgrade is the  
 switch from ISO-8859-1 (Latin) charset to UTF-8 (Universal) charset,  
 this will allow us to support languages that don't use latin  
 characters (like Greek).  
   
 Other fixes include updated translations for the existing languages.  
   
 Software Installer  
 ------------------  
 - smeextras repository added, it is used for building the installer and ISO  
 - The yum-update event now includes the yum-import-keys action to allow  
   users to update yum packages and configuration without rebooting,  
   which enables updating when there is a compatibility problem.  
 - Correct yum-update-dbs action to adjust yum service properly.  
 - The BaseURL property has been removed for repos with mirrorlists.  
 - The message "This system is up to date." is displayed if no updates are  
   available.  
   
 Webmail  
 -------  
 - Horde, imp, turbo and ingo have been updated to the latest versions  
 - Support the ability to save user kronolith free/busy information to the LDAP  
   database.  
 - Servers with a custom template for 110AppRegistryHorde found webmail no  
   longer worked.  
 - The name of the webmail installation is now configurable.  
   To use - config setprop horde Name xxxx ; signal-event email-update.  
   
 Server manager  
 --------------  
 - The name of the log file being viewed via the Server Manager 'View log  
   files' is now displayed as the first line.  
 - Disabling the daily update check in the server-manager did not stop the  
   check4updates task sending mail to the server administrator.  
 - Server-manager > printers > add printer -  now advises users to avoid  
   certain names and descriptions as this causes printer state to be incorrect.  
 - Fix the Unknown heading in server-manager after an update.  
 - Fix inconsistency within the navigation.xx files which no longer adds extra  
   spaces and newlines in panel headers.  
 - The Anti-virus (ClamAV) panel text was updated to remove the word 'entire'  
   as this could be misleading.  
 - Allow server-manager to successfully create a one character user account.  
 - After adding a user and trying to set password via server-manager or  
   user-password using the ";" sign you encountered a "white screen of  
   death". This was due to the version of perl-Object-Persistence being used.  
 - Remove the last 'pleasewait' message as it is no longer needed.  
 - The button to add a new user in the server-manager was missing due to a  
   problem with the free/busy code in usermanager causing the panel to exit.  
   
 Other fixes and updates  
 -----------------------  
 - Updated Samba resolves various file sharing problems  
 - The length of an Ibay name is now configurable via maxIbayNameLength  
 - The Samba "unix extensions" are turned off for Mac compatibility  
 - radiusd.conf allows support for additional authentication methods  
 - Ability to modify pseudonyms with special characters  
 - Prevent NameServer being set to current IP of SME Server  
 - Allow support for server side includes for ibays when a directory is  
   browsed.  
 - Made mtu/mru settings configurable.  
 - Increased the templating in php.ini  
 - Fixed timezone detection issues for certain timezones during certificate  
   generation  
 - Added support for cciss RAID controller  
 - Enable a new feature to allow admin to have own password not shared with  
   root.  
 - nut is now started after the network to avoid mails to the admin mailbox  
   about lost communication.  
 - e-smith-openssh contained unused template fragments were removed.  
 - ibays can now be set as non-browsable (hidden), but accessible via their  
   UNC. An ibay can be hidden by setting the Browsable property to disabled.  
 - Suspicious string scanning (supscan) has been disabled due  
   to being CPU and I/O intensive and prone to producing false positives..  
 - The audittool script has been updated to also identify modified events.  
 - If a custom motd was used this could have been sent with the smolt data, now  
   only the version from e-smith-release is sent.

   http://smolt.contribs.org/

 - Use yum installonlyn plugin to keep only the last 5 kernels.  
 - Change Wpad URL to match system domain to enable the Wpad feature.  
 - dnscache will now ignore referrals when in forwardonly mode.  
 - On servers with no ibays and less than two users the shadow-copy-rotate  
   script would fail.  
 - Correct the step-ticker to pool.ntp.org hosts.  
 - Hide normally hidden files from view when using roaming profiles.  
 - The dungog yum repository has been obsoleted as the packages are in  
   smecontribs.

   appear in any configuration file.
