Hi all!
The Zentyal Development Team is proud to announce that the 3.0-rc1 installer is now available for testing! This is the first release candidate for the 3.0 stable series: the next stable Zentyal server version, Zentyal 3.0, will be published on the 13th of September.
As the beta releases have ended, it means that this version comes already with all the Zentyal 3.0 features. From now on, all the focus will be on bugfixing (your help finding those bugs is crucial!), polishing details and also preparing the migration process from 2.2 to 3.0.
Regarding the changes since the last 2.3-2 release, we want to highlight the following:
* Brand new look & feel of the user interface!
* New samba module that integrates the beta5 version and allows Zentyal to join Windows Server domains!
* Some improvements in Zarafa, such as multi domain support and integration with Jabber
Moreover, a lot of bugfixing has been done too!
You can download the new installer, as usual, from the
Beta Downloads page.
The easiest way to test this release candidate is to do a fresh installation of Zentyal 3.0-rc1 having Internet connection to make sure that the latest versions of the packages are downloaded. If you already have a Zentyal 2.3-2 installed, you can upgrade the full system to get these new versions using the Software Management module or with apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade in command line.
And please, remember that Zentyal 3.0-rc1 is a release candidate and it is not intended for production environments.
So, let the games begin! The finder of the biggest bug will receive tons of glory and fame!
