53  =======================  =======================
54    
55  This will be updated for 7.5 Final, here are the changelogs  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    - 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    
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    - Update to ClamAV 0.96.1
95    - Increase MemLimit to 600M for clamav-0.96
96    - Remove spamassassin jobs from cron.daily that are no longer needed.
97    - 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 This has now been replaced by a patch to qmail itself.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    - Use HeloHost (if present) for SMTP auth proxy
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    - Improve the HTML formatting of the modify quota panel to work in IE8.
115    
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    - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
163    - Reduce drive size requirements from 5G to 1.5G
