54  Changes in this release  Changes in this release
55  =======================  =======================
56    
57  This will be updated for 7.5 RC  Backups
58    -------
59    - The backup service has been made more robust:
60      Allow many backups in the same day.
61      Prevent launching a restore if all needed backups are not available.
62      Do not allow a restore from a partial backup.
63    - Some valid passwords would fail due to how the backup directory was
64      mounted, the use of a credentials file for mount.cifs now avoids this
65      limitation.
66    - The e-mail now correctly identifies incremental and full backups.
67    - Make workstation-backup 'full backup allowed on'-setting stick across
68      revisits of the Configure-page when set to: 'Sunday'
69    
70    File Server
71    -----------
72    - A patch was added to support multiple samba roles, the change is
73      transparent. However installing smeserver-adv-samba allows the user to
74      take advantage of additional server roles as detailed in
75      http://wiki.contribs.org/Advanced_Samba
76    
77    Localisation
78    ------------
79    - As part of a major update with translations we have added seven new
80      languages:
81      Thai, Polish, Romanian, Estonian, Chinese, Norwegian (Bokmal),
82      Russian.
83    - Other fixes include updated translations for the existing languages.
84    
85    Mail Server
86    -----------
87    - Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication capability has been
88      added for incoming smtp ehlo requests.
89    - Implement correctly the subject line SPAM tagging functionality.
90    - The syntax of the smtproutes and SMTPSmartHost templates have been
91      updated to avoid MX lookups
92    - Incoming mail could be incorrectly rejected by qpsmtpd plugin
93      require_resolvable_fromhost.
94    - Update to qpsmtpd 0.83
95    - Update to ClamAV 0.96
96    - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
97    - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.
98    - HeuristicScanPrecedence is a new option in clamav 0.94.
99      See http://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Heuristic_Scan
100    - Rotate Virus scanning log files
101    - Remove the external preloaded library, qmail-workaround, which was
102      needed for qmail loopback connections if a domain MX resolves to
103      0.0.0.0. This has now been replaced by a patch to qmail itself.
104    
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    
115    Webmail and Groupware
116    ---------------------
117    - Horde, imp, turba and ingo have been updated to the latest versions
118    - Patch to make sure username is always saved in lowercase to horde db's
119    - Allow FQDN and non-FQDN access to webmail.
120    - The spell checker in Horde Mail has been enabled for HTML composition.
121    - Obsolete smeserver-trean < 0.1-8 as it makes the sidebar menu of the
122      webmail interface disappear.
123    
124    Web Server
125    ----------
126    - Implement a database key (SSLv2) which allows to disable certificates
127      signed with SSLv2, enabled by default to keep current behaviour.
128    - Add support for more MIME Types to Apache:
129         Openoffice 1.x, Openoffice 2.x
130         Microsoft Office 2007
131         XML
132    - SSL Certificates will now use a SHA1
133    - SSL Certificates will now use a 2048 bits key size
134    
135    Other fixes and updates
136    -----------------------
137    - From June 2009 smeserver-rkhunter was removed from smeos and made a
138      contrib.
139    - Do not allow re-allocation of deleted Windows user profiles.
140    - Template sshd login grace time
141    - Correct the configuration of smartd to monitor hard disk status, but
142      default to disabled.
143    - Display the boot time menu by default by removing the hiddenmenu entry
144      from the default grub.conf to be in line with the documentation.
145    - Enable error logging for MySQL.
146    - When user or group names with a "." in the names exist,
147      running /sbin/e-smith/audittools/aliases will show more than the
148      expected list.
149    - Improve the quality of the mirrors by using a network mirror-list. The
150      list is automatically generated hourly based on the status of the
151      current mirrors. By using these mirror-lists it is ensured that people
152      are directed to an updated mirror. When a mirror is added or removed
153      the change will be available quickly and automatically. It also
154      centralizes control of the mirror lists.
155    - Add yum-protect-packages support to prevent removal of needed
156      packages. This stops accidental removal of core SME Server packages.
157    - Introduced (weak) kernel modules which are independent of kernel
158      version. This means there is no need to update/rebuild kmods for each
159      kernel update.
160    - Fix for VPN access failed with buffer too small errors.
161    - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
