Dear Zentyal users,

In the last few days we've announced the VM images for Zentyal 2.2, new and updated Zentyal development documentation and tools, and here comes the third and last "Zentyal present" of the year:

You now have the ability to turn a regular Ubuntu Server installation into a full Zentyal system like if you had used the official Zentyal installer, as some of you had requested.

What does exactly this mean? You can have the same LXDE environment with links to Firefox automatically opening the Zentyal administration interface, Zentyal boot logo instead of the Ubuntu one, etc.

To do this, you just need to add the official Zentyal repository and install the zenbuntu-desktop package. You can find more details in the Installation Guide.

We hope you'll enjoy it! Don't hesitate to report any issue you may find.

Happy New Year!

News and Announcements / News about Zentyal for developers
« on: December 29, 2011, 10:06:33 am »
Hi potential Zentyal developers!

Lately many Zentyal users have expressed their interest in developing their own Zentyal modules and as you may have already noticed, last week we published an updated version of the Zentyal module development tutorial. It is now located in our community wiki, so everybody can contribute to improving it. Here is the link to the index:

http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/Document/Development/Tutorial

Please let us know if you have any feedback or questions! Also, an encouraging word for those interested in development: making a Zentyal module is now easier than ever! This is because we have got rid of autotools for building the packages, which caused a lot of mistakes specially among people not familiar with them. Instead, we have now our own zbuildtools package which does all the magic and the developer just needs to put the files in place.

There is also documentation about some tools shipped with Zentyal that may be useful for developers at:

http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/Development/Tools

And we're happy to tell you about one last change in Zentyal development: we have migrated to GIT! We are already enjoying the advantages it offers over the previous Subversion repository and we hope this change will be positive for everybody. You can find the new instructions on how to get the Zentyal code at:

http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Document/Development/GIT

News and Announcements / Zentyal 2.2 Virtual Machine images available!
« on: December 28, 2011, 12:06:24 pm »
Hi Zentyal community members,

We have updated our VM images to include the latest Zentyal 2.2 packages.

You can download disk images for VirtualBox, VMware and KVM (qcow2 format) as usual.

We consider that VM images offer a quick and easy way to have your first experience with Zentyal without having to install it. All you need to do is just to create a Virtual Machine with your favorite virtualization tool and use the pre-installed Zentyal disk image instead of creating an empty disk.

To download the images or to get more information, please visit:

http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Download/VMImages

Please note that the VM images come with a reduced set of Zentyal modules. In reality Zentyal offers many more features and once you have created your VM, you simply need to enable them in the "Software Management" section.

As always, any feedback or suggestion about the images would be much appreciated!

News and Announcements / Zentyal 3.0 Roadmap published
« on: November 21, 2011, 12:04:02 pm »
As advanced in the Zentyal Summit few days ago, the main development lines for  Zentyal 3.0 are going to be the upgrade to Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, better integration with Ubuntu in general, and the improvements on the Desktop and User experience.

You can find more details at:

http://trac.zentyal.org/milestone/3.0

Note that this is not the definitive roadmap and the community feedback and proposals are really welcome.

The features marked as "extra" are things we want to add but we are not sure yet if we will able to, or in some cases, like the Thin Clients feature, will be done with the support of the community.

News and Announcements / Zentyal 2.2 Upgrade Tool Available!
« on: November 08, 2011, 12:00:31 pm »
Hi Zentyal 2.0 users,

After somewhat longer beta period than initially expected, we are glad to announce that the upgrade tool to migrate from Zentyal 2.0 to Zentyal 2.2 is now ready! Special thanks go to all of you who helped in the testing process and gave useful feedback to improve the tool!

You can find all the information on how to use the tool, as well as the known issues at:

http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/Migration

Remember that migrating a production server is a complex task that may lead to problems, so our recommendation is to do the migration out of office hours, making also sure that you can restore a backup if anything goes wrong.

If you come up with any issues, please let us know and we will try to address them ASAP. And on the other hand, if you have a critical production environment and you want to count on our help, you can always opt for commercial support.

We hope you will soon enjoy your new Zentyal 2.2!

Hi Zentyal users,

We are glad to announce the availability of a new version of our Active Directory synchronization package for Windows (formerly known as Zentyal AD Sync), which has now been renamed to Zentyal Migration Tool. This first version allows to export basic DHCP and DNS settings from Windows servers to Zentyal, making the migration process from existing Windows server environments significantly easier.

Naturally, the tool also comes with a new zentyal-migration-tool package to import these settings on Zentyal side. In addition to this new configuration export feature, the AD synchronization includes some fixes and improvements on both sides. Finally, we have also written some documentation and included helper tools in the new Zentyal package on migrating from Microsoft Exchange to Zarafa.

You can find all the information and installation instructions for this new tool at:

http://www.zentyal.org/migration-tool

As usual, please let us know if you come up with any issues or have any suggestions for improvements. Our aim is to progressively improve this tool, allowing to extract more data to make the replacement of Windows servers with Zentyal as easy as possible.

52
We're looking for volunteers to test the migration tool from Zentyal 2.0 to Zentyal 2.2 in testing environments. Although we think the tool may be ready and all our internal tests have succeeded, we think it would be a good idea to have a bit of help from the community to make sure it doesn't have any serious issue.

You can find all the information on how to use the migration tool, as well as the known issues at:

http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/Migration

Ideally this should be used on test environments only, but if you want to try with your production server out of office hours we recommend you to be as careful as possible. Above all, please make sure that you can restore a backup if anything goes wrong.

Let us know of any issues you find! Happy migration!

News and Announcements / New Zentyal 2.2-1 installer available!
« on: October 03, 2011, 10:46:28 am »
Hi Zentyal users,

The Zentyal Development Team has published a new compilation of packages including all the bugfixes and system updates from Ubuntu since the release of the first 2.2 installer.

There are also two changes in this new installer:

- The 64bit version now uses the server kernel by default instead of the generic one.
- Adds the new secondary packages repository, allowing us to release important bugfixes without waiting until launchpad builds and publishes them.

You can get the ISOs as usual from our Downloads page.

Note that if you already have Zentyal 2.2 installed, you can apply these changes without need to download this new version.

You can install the server kernel just with the following command:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-image-server

To add the new repository and import the key, just execute:

Code: [Select]
sudo -s
echo "deb http://archive.zentyal.org/zentyal 2.2 main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -O - http://keys.zentyal.org/zentyal-2.2-archive.asc | apt-key add -

We are still going to use our launchpad PPA as the main repository, but sometimes launchpad is loaded with a lot of jobs and takes several hours or even days to build the packages. In these cases, with this new repository, you'll be able to get your packages on time :)

News and Announcements / Zentyal 2.2-rc2 available!
« on: August 25, 2011, 02:08:19 pm »
Dear Zentyal community,

The Zentyal Development Team is glad to announce the availability of the 2.2-rc2 installer! This is the second release candidate for the 2.2 stable series.

This version includes all the bug fixes done since the release of the RC1 and in addition, the "Recover from a disaster" menu is now back on the installer (it had disappeared during all the beta period). Moreover, this release comes with a surprise: it includes experimental USB support, so users without a CD drive should be able to burn the ISO on a stick using the Ubuntu USB creator or any other similar tool. Let us know how it works!

You can download the new installer, as usual, from the Beta Downloads page. If you already have installed Zentyal 2.2-rc1, you can also upgrade your packages to the latest available versions.

The release of the Zentyal 2.2 is approaching very fast (3rd week of September), so your help in finding bugs now is crucial to have a great success with this release. We're looking forward to receiving your bug reports and feedback. To liven up the bug hunt, we will reward the most active bug-reporters as well as the persons who report the trickiest bugs with Zentyal t-shirts!

Happy testing!

News and Announcements / Zentyal 2.2-rc1 available!
« on: July 23, 2011, 04:56:20 pm »
Hi Zentyal users,

The Zentyal Development Team is glad to announce the availability of the 2.2-rc1 installer! This is the first release candidate for the 2.2 stable series.

As the beta releases have ended, it means that this version comes already with all the Zentyal 2.2 features. From now on, all the focus will be on bugfixing (your help finding those bugs is crucial!), polishing details and also preparing easy migration process from 2.0 to 2.2.

Regarding the changes since the last 2.1-2 release, we want to highlight the following:
  • Based on the fresh new Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
  • Administrator audit logging
  • Zarafa 7 integration
  • Usability and performance improvements
  • Many improvements in the VM management module

Also lot of bugfixing has been done!

You can download the new installer, as usual, from the Beta Downloads page. If you already have installed Zentyal 2.1, you can also upgrade your packages to the latest available versions, but please take into account that upgrades from 2.1 are not guaranteed to be problem-free, so it might be a good idea to have a fresh start to avoid running into any problems. However, if you want to try the upgrade we will be pleased to help you, just report any issues you face on the Beta Testing board in this Forum .

Important notes:
  • The Zarafa module is compatible with both Zarafa 6 and 7, so people with a running Zarafa 6 installation won't be forced to upgrade at all.
  • The new repository for Zarafa 7 is:
Code: [Select]
deb http://archive.zentyal.com/zentyal 2.1 extra
  • The Administrator audit log is disabled by default. To enable it just go to "Maintenance -> Logs -> Configure Logs", but take into account that if you are upgrading from a previous 2.1 version you'll need to create the database tables by hand with the following command:
Code: [Select]
perl -MEBox -MEBox::Util::SQL -e'EBox::init(); EBox::Util::SQL::createCoreTables(); 1';

    News and Announcements / Join the Zentyal 2.2 betatesting effort!
    « on: July 15, 2011, 01:03:13 pm »
    Dear all,

    We're glad to let you know that new Zentyal 2.2 features, such as ad-blocker, captive portal with bandwidth limit/monitoring and improved
    IPsec module, are now available for beta testing! In addition, there have been many general improvements and bugfixing in other modules, so
    it would be great if you could join the Zentyal 2.2 beta testing effort and give us your feedback.

    To test the latest Zentyal 2.2 beta version, simply download the beta (http://www.zentyal.org/beta) and make sure you have a working Internet connection during the install to automatically get the last available packages. If you already have Zentyal 2.1 installed, just go to the Software Management UI and choose to update all the available packages.

    Remember that you can give your feedback via mailing lists, Forum (http://forum.zentyal.org/), by filing a bug report via trac  (http://trac.zentyal.org/newticket) or directly via the server UI when an error occurs. We're prepared to work hard for the whole summer to have a great release in September so we're very much looking forward to receive your feedback. If you are not sure what to test, at this moment we're specially interested in feedback on captive portal, PPTP and IPsec.

    Happy testing!
