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

59 - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
60 - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.

68
69
70 Changes from SME 7.4
71 ====================
72
73 Backups
74 -------
75 - The backup service has been made more robust:
76 Allow many backups in the same day.
77 Prevent launching a restore if all needed backups are not available.
78 Do not allow a restore from a partial backup.
79 - Some valid passwords would fail due to how the backup directory was
80 mounted, the use of a credentials file for mount.cifs now avoids this
81 limitation.
82 - The e-mail now correctly identifies incremental and full backups.
83 - Make workstation-backup 'full backup allowed on'-setting stick across
84 revisits of the Configure-page when set to: 'Sunday'
85
86 File Server
87 -----------
88 - A patch was added to support multiple samba roles, the change is
89 transparent. However installing smeserver-adv-samba allows the user to
90 take advantage of additional server roles as detailed in
91 http://wiki.contribs.org/Advanced_Samba
92
93 Localisation
94 ------------
95 - As part of a major update with translations we have added seven new
96 languages:
97 Thai, Polish, Romanian, Estonian, Chinese, Norwegian (Bokmal),
98 Russian.
99 - Other fixes include updated translations for the existing languages.
100
101 Mail Server
102 -----------
103 - Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication capability has been
104 added for incoming smtp ehlo requests.
105 - Implement correctly the subject line SPAM tagging functionality.
106 - The syntax of the smtproutes and SMTPSmartHost templates have been
107 updated to avoid MX lookups
108 - Incoming mail could be incorrectly rejected by qpsmtpd plugin
109 require_resolvable_fromhost.
110 - Update to qpsmtpd 0.83
111 - Update to ClamAV 0.96
112 - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
113 - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.
114 - HeuristicScanPrecedence is a new option in clamav 0.94.
115 See http://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Heuristic_Scan
116 - Rotate Virus scanning log files
117 - Remove the external preloaded library, qmail-workaround, which was
118 needed for qmail loopback connections if a domain MX resolves to
119 0.0.0.0. This has now been replaced by a patch to qmail itself.
120 - Use HeloHost (if present) for SMTP auth proxy
121
122 Server manager
123 --------------
124 - The reconfigure warning is displayed in subsequent browser sessions of
125 the server-manager when the server is updated from the Command Line,
126 or after a reboot, if a full reconfiguration has not been performed.
127 - Allow to select "check for updates" daily, weekly or monthly in the
128 Software Installer. Check for updates can also be disabled.
129 - Fix yum warnings about "another instance is running" when running a
130 second instance of yum from another terminal.
131 - Improve the HTML formatting of the modify quota panel to work in IE8.
132
133 Webmail and Groupware
134 ---------------------
135 - Horde, imp, turba and ingo have been updated to the latest versions
136 - Patch to make sure username is always saved in lowercase to horde db's
137 - Allow FQDN and non-FQDN access to webmail.
138 - The spell checker in Horde Mail has been enabled for HTML composition.
139 - Obsolete smeserver-trean < 0.1-8 as it makes the sidebar menu of the
140 webmail interface disappear.
141
142 Web Server
143 ----------
144 - Implement a database key (SSLv2) which allows to disable certificates
145 signed with SSLv2, enabled by default to keep current behaviour.
146 - Add support for more MIME Types to Apache:
147 Openoffice 1.x, Openoffice 2.x
148 Microsoft Office 2007
149 XML
150 - SSL Certificates will now use a SHA1
151 - SSL Certificates will now use a 2048 bits key size
152
153 Other fixes and updates
154 -----------------------
155 - From June 2009 smeserver-rkhunter was removed from smeos and made a
156 contrib.
157 - Do not allow re-allocation of deleted Windows user profiles.
158 - Template sshd login grace time
159 - Correct the configuration of smartd to monitor hard disk status, but
160 default to disabled.
161 - Display the boot time menu by default by removing the hiddenmenu entry
162 from the default grub.conf to be in line with the documentation.
163 - Enable error logging for MySQL.
164 - When user or group names with a "." in the names exist,
165 running /sbin/e-smith/audittools/aliases will show more than the
166 expected list.
167 - Improve the quality of the mirrors by using a network mirror-list. The
168 list is automatically generated hourly based on the status of the
169 current mirrors. By using these mirror-lists it is ensured that people
170 are directed to an updated mirror. When a mirror is added or removed
171 the change will be available quickly and automatically. It also
172 centralizes control of the mirror lists.
173 - Add yum-protect-packages support to prevent removal of needed
174 packages. This stops accidental removal of core SME Server packages.
175 - Introduced (weak) kernel modules which are independent of kernel
176 version. This means there is no need to update/rebuild kmods for each
177 kernel update.
178 - Fix for VPN access failed with buffer too small errors.
179 - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
