We have just released the first software upgrade this year! It's a minor upgrade that fixes some issues and bugs in several of our plugins. The new version of the software is available in our customer area. Happy New Year!
A New Year Upgrade
Preparing For The Roundcube Elastic Skin
As you may have heard, the Roundcube team is developing a new skin called Elastic. The skin will be responsive and will be usable on desktop devices, tablets and phones. It's still in the works and it will take some time before it's released, but we'd like our plugins to be fully compatible with Elastic as soon as it's ready. We started upgrading the plugins to make sure they work with both the current Larry skin, the Roundcube Plus skins and the new Elastic skin.
It will take some creative work to make sure the plugins are versitile enough to work with all the skin variations our curstomers would like to use, but the work is going well, and we're confident we'll have the plugins ready by the time Elastic is released.
Here are some development screenshots:
A New Upgrade: Postgres and Elastic
We're happy to announce the release of a major software upgrade that introduces a number of new features and fixes a lot of reported problems!
Postgres Support
All of our plugins are now fully compatible with Postgres! With this upgrade, our software can be deployed on the three most popular database systems supported by Roundcube: SQLite, MySQL, and Postgres.
Elastic Support
We've upgraded all the plugins to be compatible with the new Roundcube skin: Elastic. Elastic will most likely be released with the next major version of Roundcube.
This change required a lot of work to implement, but by re-writing our plugins ahead of time we're making sure they'll be usable as soon as Elastic gets released. This way our clients won't have to wait to upgrade to Roundcube 1.4 on the account of incompatible plugins.
Highlights of Other Changes
We fixed a lot of issues with the calendar; some of those fixes were security-related, so we encourage you to upgrade your calendar plugin as soon as possible.
The skins got full support for the Thunderbird Labels plugin, as well as a number of UI fixes.
We added date and time logging to the Last Login plugin in order to improve account security.
The compose plugin got a new config option that makes it possible to change the font family of the plain text composition window.
Another new config option enables the admins to set the default visibility of the right sidebar.
The News Feed's list of predefined RSS channels got cleaned up and brought up to date.
New Skins in the Works
We're in the process of creating a new set of skins that are based on the upcoming Elastic skin. The new skins will be fully responsive and they'll have some exiting new features as well.
Besides enjoying the improved looks of the webmail, the users will be able to customize the skins on the new "Look & Feel" page. They'll be able to select one of the four available icon sets; make the font larger or smaller; select a font family from a predefined list, and of course, change the design colors.
Another interesting option of the new skins will be the ability to include a larger company branding. If you looked at the preview of the Elastic skin, you may have noticed that its new page layout can only accommodate a small square branding logo. There is no space for a larger logo with text that was available in the older Larry skin. Seeing that this might be a problem with some of our clients, we have designed some of our new skins to follow the traditional page layout that allows the companies to include a text-based logo.
Get Ready for CalDAV
We're also working on adding a CalDAV server to our calendar. CalDAV support will make it possible to connect external calendars like iOS Calendar, Thunderbird, Evolution or eM Client to your Roundcube calendar in write mode. Our plugin will be the only Roundcube calendar featuring this functionality.

The Calendar Plugin Upgrade
We've just released a new upgrade to the calendar and framework plugins. The calendar sharing options got updated: it's now possible to choose which users will be notified when a calendar is shared with them. A new color management system helps with assigning colors to calendars and events, and the calendar list UI got refreshed to make sure it's clearer and works properly with all the skins.
We also updated the management of the holiday calendars and fixed some reported problems. The messages displayed by the calendar have been updated and clarified: for example, the users are now notified if their shared calendars have been removed by their owners. The calendar also warns the users if they typed an email address but forgot to click 'Share' before saving the calendar. This was one of the easiest and most frustrating mistakes to make when trying to use the sharing functionality.
The framework plugin got an upgrade to its mobile definitions, as well as some minor code fixes.
The upgraded version of the plugins is available in our customer area.
Ready for Roundcube 1.3.7
A new Roundcube upgrade is available: version 1.3.7. All our skins and plugins are fully compatible with this new version, so if you're running the latest version of our software, you should be able to upgrade without any problems.
What's new in Roundcube 1.3.7? It contains several bug fixes and a security fix for the way OpenPGP is used. If you'd like to read more about this latest relese, here's the release announcement.

Weather plugin supports GPS coordinates

If you have used our Weather plugin, you may have noticed that sometimes it had a problem with getting the weather data for some locations. For example, if you wanted to get the weather for Portland, Maine, USA, you'd always get Portland, Oregon instead. This was due to the limitations of the Openweathermap service used by our plugin, which doesn't support narrowing down the location by specify a region or a state.
The good news is that we have now fixed this annoying issue by adding a possibility to specify locations by GPS coordinates. It's simple: all you need to do is convert your location to GPS coordinates using an included link and use the latitude and longitude instead of country and city to specify your location. This system is very accurate and makes sure you always the get the correct weather data. The upgraded weather plugin is available for download in our customer area.
Roundcube Plus security upgrade
We have released a software upgrade that includes important security fixes. If you're using the Roundcube Plus plugins we urge you to download the latest version and upgrade as soon as you can. Besides fixing the security issues, we also fixed a few UI problems, upgraded the third party libraries, added some new functionality and new translations. The file upload functions will now re-save the images to reduce their size on the server; you'll be able to give your customers a limited access to their own Roundcube configuration files; and if you're planning to upgrade to Roundcube 1.3.10 released a few days ago, you can rest assured that the skins and plugins will work properly.
Important changes introduced in the latest upgrade:
- security fixes in the xsignature and xbackground plugins
