The Inverse Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
SOGo 1.3.0. This is a minor release of SOGo which focuses on small new
features and improved stability over previous versions.
=== What is SOGo ===
SOGo is a free and modern scalable groupware server. It offers shared
calendars, address books and emails through your favorite Web browser or
by using a native client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning.
SOGo is standard-compliant and supports CalDAV, CardDAV, GroupDAV and
reuses existing IMAP, SMTP and database servers - making the solution
easy to deploy and interoperable with many applications.
SOGo features :
* Scalable architecture suitable for deployments from dozen to many
thousand users
* Rich Web-based interface that shares the look and feel, the features
and the data of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning
* Improved integration with Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning by using
the SOGo Connector and the SOGo Integrator
* Two-way synchronization support with any SyncML-capable devices
(BlackBerry, Palm, Windows CE, etc.) by using the Funambol SOGo Connector
* Excellent integration with Apple iCal 3/4 and Apple iPhone OS
and many more! SOGo and our connectors are completely free.
=== Changes from the previous release ===
* added support for the "tentative" status in the invitation responses
* inviting a group of contacts is now possible, where each contact will
be extracted when the group is resolved
* added support for modifying the role of the meeting participants
* attendees having an "RSVP" set to "FALSE" or empty will no longer
need/be able to respond to invitations
* added the ability to specify which calendar is taken into account
when retrieving a user's freebusy
* added the ability to publish resources to unauthenticated (anonymous)
users, via the "/SOGo/dav/public" url
* we now provide ICS and XML version of a user's personal calendars
when accessed from his own "Calendar" base collection
* events are now displayed with the colored stripe representing their
category, if one is defined in the preferences
* fixed display of all-day events in a monthly view where the timezone
differs from the current one
* the event location is now displayed in the calendar view when defined
properly
* added a caching mechanism for freebusy requests, in order to
accelerate the display
* added the ability to specify a time range when requesting a time slot
suggestion
* added live-loading support in the webmail interface with caching support
* updated CKEditor and improved its integration with the current user
language for automatic spell checking support

Many of the changes were sponsored by the University of West Bohemia,
CESNET and Lille1 University. See

Moreover, with this release, Inverse also announces the immediate
availability of new SOGo Connector (v0.101) and SOGo Integrator (v0.101)
extensions for Mozilla Thunderbird 2. The integration has also been
perfected with the Inverse Edition of the Mozilla Lightning (v0.11)
extension.

Edition of Lightning for Thunderbird 2 as we move forward to support
Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.
