Inverse is proud to announce the eighth downloadable version of SOGo ZEG
with native Microsoft Outlook compatibility.
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 *considered as
experimental*. The fundamentals have been developed and the progress
towards an end-user usable version will be fast from now on.
Nonetheless, we release this "Technology Preview" ZEG edition to show
how promising this is.
== Getting it ==
To download ZEG "Technology Preview", simply point your browser to
http://www.sogo.nu/english/downloads/zeg.html
Look for "Virtual Appliance - Native Outlook Compatibility".
For configuration instructions, look at the following FAQ:
http://www.sogo.nu/english/nc/support/faq/article/how-to-configure-outlook-to-work-with-openchange.html
== Changes ==
Here is a list of changes performed by the Inverse team since TP7 was
released :
* Added initial recurrence support for events and tasks
* Added initial support for mail subfolders
* Fixed handle issues which could cause Outlook to disconnect momentarily
* Various other small bug fixes and minor improvements
== Upcoming improvements ==
The follow improvements will occur in the next following days, likely
resulting in a TP9 :
* Integrate the mapistore_v2 work which will allow us to support all
SOGo user folders and all SOGo users easily (making freebusy lookup for
other users more easy)
* Add "Cached Exchange Mode" support
* Add support for recurrence exceptions
* Add support for reminders
* Speedup of the IMAP accesses
== Installation / Update ==
Both SOGo and SOPE were installed from the Monotone repository while
OpenChange was installed using the "sogo" branch from their official
Subversion server.
To update those components on ZEG from TP4 and upward, simply sudo as
root. Then run the following script :
/home/sogo/update.sh
You might want to restart Outlook after the update.
== Helping Out ==
There are many ways you can help us. You can:
* Spread the good word about this technology preview!
* Follow our development in the [email protected] mailing list and update
regularly the components mentioned above
* Contact us if you want to sponsor specific features with regard to
Outlook / SOGo compatibility
Thanks,
