New eBox 1.4-2 installer released!
« on: May 12, 2010, 11:26:48 am »
Hi fellow eBox users,

I just wanted to let you know that we've done a lot of bugfixing and small improvements since the last 1.4-1 release. Those all enhancements have now been included on a new installer.

You can download it as usual in our Download page.

Here is a summary of the most relevant changes:

- dns: Added support for internal networks allowed to recurse the caching server.
- ebackup: Improvements on frequency and keep options. Added backup and restore of logs. Added restore configuration from backup action. VolSize option can be changed through configuration file.
- egroupware: Now works properly on a master-slave scenario.
- firewall: New firewall table containing rules added by eBox services.
- network: Failover test are more robust now.
- samba: Allow guest shares. New patched samba package that should fix the full_audit bug.
- squid: New bandwidth throttling support with delay pools (to allow traffic shaping when transparent proxy is enabled). Add refresh_pattern options for Microsoft Windows, Debian and Ubuntu updates.
- webserver: Allow non-fqdn and topdomains as vhosts.

More bugfixes and improvements on the following modules: asterisk, ca, monitor, openvpn, remoteservices, software, trafficshaping, usersandgroups and webmail.

You can have a look at the full changelog since 1.4-1 at http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/Changelog/1.4-2

Yes, if you want the latests versions of all the packages you have to add the 1.4-proposed repository, have a look at:

When you say that you've added refresh patterns for Ubuntu and windows updates does that mean you used squid to cache them so apt-cacher (or any other alternative) is no longer necessary?  If so, have the 1.5 development packages been built on top of 1.4-2 so they include the features already?

Yes, no apt-cacher it necessary.
