 The virtual appliance consists of the latest development version of 
 SOGo, SOPE and OpenChange, properly installed and configured. Note that 
 the native Microsoft Outlook compatibility is still a prerelease. The 
 fundamentals have been developed and should suit normal end-users. 
 Progress towards the final version will be fast from now on.
 
 == Getting it ==
 
 To download SOGo ZEG v2.0.0beta1, simply point your browser to 
 http://www.sogo.nu/english/downloads/zeg.html
 
 Look for Virtual Appliance - Native Outlook Compatibility.
 
 For configuration instructions, or if you prefer to install everything 
 from source, please refer to the SOGo - Native Microsoft Outlook 
 Configuration guide available from 
 http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/documentation.html
 
 == Changes ==
 
 Here is the list of changes performed by the Inverse team on SOGo/SOPE 
 and that will be part of the upcoming 1.3.9 release :
 
   * new user defaults SOGoDefaultCalendar to specify which calendar is 
 used when creating an event or a task (selected, personal, first enabled)
   * new user defaults SOGoBusyOffHours to specify if off-hours should be 
 automatically added to the free-busy information
   * phone numbers in the contacts web module are now links (tel:)
   * revamp of the modules link banner (15-pixel taller)
 
 Here is a list of changes performed by the Inverse team on native 
 Outlook compatibility since TP12 was released :
 
   * Fixed most issues regarding the use of Microsoft Outlook in cached mode
   * Fixed most issues that could lead to crashes in OpenChange
   * Fixed most issues regarding the handling of event invitations
   * Mapped almost all properties between SOGo and Microsoft Outlook
   * Enhanced performance
 
 == Upcoming improvements ==
 
 The follow improvements will occur in the next following days, likely 
 resulting in a beta 2 :
 
   * Freebusy lookups for attendees during event invitations
   * Sharing resources between users
   * Handling of event reminders
 
 Please see the SOGo - Native Microsoft Outlook Configuration guide for 
 current known issues or limitations. Those will be overcome in upcoming 
 beta releases.
 
 == Installation / Update ==
 
 For now, you cannot update from TP12 or any other previous versions to 
 2.0.0beta1. You have to download 2.0.0beta1.
 
 If you prefer to install everything from source, please refer to the 
 SOGo - Native Microsoft Outlook Configuration guide.
 
 In the SOGo 2.0.0beta virtual appliance, sources for OpenChange, SOGo 
 and SOPE are in /home/sogo. If you want to completely reinitialize the 
 OpenChange profiles for the sogo1..3 users, simply run the 
 /home/sogo/oc-cleanup-reinit.sh, as root.
 
 == Helping Out ==

   * Tests with Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 and send us detailed reports. 
 Bugs should be filed at http://www.sogo.nu/bugs/ in the SOGo Native
