Final EGroupware release 16.1 now available

Dear community members, developers and EGroupware users,

Stylite AG is happy to announce the immediate availability of final
release 16.1.

16.1 contains many new features and improvements, just to name a few:

  • Calendar: complete rewrite of user interface for improved
    functionality, drag&drop, context menu
  • Mobile: new mobile phone and tablet user interface, offering compact
    display for mobile phones
  • Desktop: new brighter desktop template, lots of work on usability
    and look & feel
  • Mail/InfoLog: PGP end-to-end encryption using Mailvelope plugin
    (InfoLog requires EPL subscription)
  • eSync: update to Z-Push 2.3 fixing several Android problems and allow
    to sync with Outlook 2013/6

Recommended installation packages are available from our
server:eGroupware repository on build.opensuse.org:

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=server%3AeGroupWare&package=egroupware-epl

Release notes are available from

https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware/wiki/Release-notes-16.1

Please note:

  • if you are using eSync (Active Sync protocol) you need to remove and
    recreate accounts on your mobile device (CalDAV/CardDAV protocol is NOT
    affected)!
  • changed minimum requirement of PHP 5.4+, recommended 5.6 or 7.0. It
    means you need at least a Debian7, Ubuntu 14.04, RHEL 7 (6 with IUS
    repo) or openSUSE 13.1 or SLE 12. Recommendation is of course always to
    use a current distribution, e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 or RHEL/CentOS 7 with PHP 7.

EGroupware sources are managed on Github since a couple of weeks:

Above page also contains installation instructions for installation via
git with myrepos tool and archives.

Alternatively to a test installation of 16.1 on an own server,
EGroupware is available as a trial service of the Stylite computing center.

We´re looking forward to your feedback on our Facebook page:
