Simple Groupware 0.400 beta released - March 6, 2008


This release contains a lot of great new features. You can now merge folders permanently in the view: e.g. you can always show calendars for holidays, business meetings and personal appointments together in the same view (same for contacts, tasks, etc.). There are new translations for Italian and Turkish. The tree can now detect subfolders and hide the "+" automatically. Memory usage was optimized for backup and restore. And finally compatibility for PostgreSQL 8.3.x and Funambol v6.5 SyncML server was added.

The code was switched to PHP5 including nice features like auto class loaders, SimpleXML and a new AJAX / JSON framework, making the code cleaner and speeding up folder operations and lookups. Some fixes were applied to error handling in the PHP/Java Bridge, Wiki rendering and exporting Unicode data.

The tests for the release are not yet finished, so this release is marked as beta.
