[Wolfgang Sourdeau]

The Inverse Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of 
Scalable OpenGroupware.org (SOGo) 1.2.0. This is a major release of SOGo 
which focuses on new features, improved stability and which includes 
many bug fixes ad several enhancements over previous versions.

The Inverse Team is also happy to announce the availability of customer 
support packages for SOGo. Please visit http://inverse.ca/support.html 
for details.

=== 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, Apple iPhone OS and 
Microsoft Outlook

and many more! SOGo and our connectors are completely free.


=== Changes from the previous release ===

* improved handling of popup windows when closing the parent window
* major refresh of CSS
* added handling of preforked processes by SOPE/SOGo (a load balancer 
is therefore no longer needed)
* added Swedish translation, thanks to Altrusoft
* added multi-domain support
* refactored the handling of user defaults to enable fallback on 
default values more easily
* added sensible default configuration values
* updated CKEditor to version 3.1
* added support for iCal 4 delegation (sponsored by Campbell-Lange 
Workshop)
* added support for letting the user choose which calendars should be 
shared with iCal delegation (sponsored by Campbell-Lange Workshop)
* added the ability for users to subscribe other users to their 
resources from the ACL dialog
* added fixes for bugs in GNUstep 1.19.3 (NSURL)

Moreover, with this release, Inverse also announces the immediate 
availability of new SOGo Connector (v0.98) and SOGo Integrator (v0.98) 
extensions for Mozilla Thunderbird. The integration has also been 
perfected with the Inverse Edition of the Mozilla Lightning (v0.9.8) 
extension.

See http://www.scalableogo.org/bugs/changelog_page.php for the change log.

=== Changes for the extensions ===

* SOGo Connector 0.98
 * fixed detection of the webdav-sync protocol in the supported REPORT set
 * fixed handling of "type" parameters for fields that use it in the 
vcard parser
* Lightning 0.9.8 (Inverse Edition)
 * fixed handling of ACLs when view or editing events (when available)
 * fixed handling of all-day repetitive events
