Inverse is proud to announce the twelfth 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. The next
version will be a *first beta release*.
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
You can also install it from sources, by following those instructions:

== Changes ==
Here is a list of changes performed by the Inverse team since TP11 was
released :
* Permissions fixes for Outlook 2007 and 2010
* IMAP sub-folders support, independently of your IMAP namespace
* Fixed many issues that could lead to crashes in OpenChange
* Enhanced performance
== Upcoming improvements ==
The follow improvements will occur in the next following days, likely
resulting in a beta 1 :
* Freebusy lookups for attendees during event invitations
* General performance and stability improvements in preparation for
the beta 1 release
== Installation / Update ==
For now, you cannot update from TP11 or any other previous versions to
TP12. You have to download TP12.
In order to test Cached Exchange Mode, which is now the preferred mode,
you will have to create a new Outlook Exchange profile. If you created a
profile with an other TP version, you'll have to recreate your Outlook
profile. If you run into weird issues, simply close Outlook, run the
"oc-cleanup-reinit.sh" as root from "/home/sogo" and recreate your
Outlook profile. Moreover, if Outlook starts to crash and even after a
restart, it immediately crashes again, try to restart OpenChange using
"stop openchange; start openchange".
== Helping Out ==
There are many ways you can help us. You can:
* Tests with Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 and send us detailed reports
* 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
