EGroupware 14.2 Beta released

EGroupware 14.2 Beta released

by | Dec 10, 2014 | News

I’m happy to announce the immediate availability of new 14.2 beta.

14.2 adds three – in our opinion – most wanted features:

1. Dropbox like sharing of files

EGroupware users often have the need to exchange files with people outside there own EGroupware.

With file sharing we have now a simple solution exactly for that problem.

Select one or more files or directories in Filemanager, right-click and choose Mail files as:

Attachment (old way, works reliably only for a couple of MB total file-size)
Download link: creates a copy of current version of files and mails a link allowing to download them
Readable share: mails a link allowing to download at that time current version of files
Writable share: mails a link allowing to download or update current version of files
Last option is only available in EPL subscription together with an optional expiration date or password.

The links require no further authentication, sharing your EGroupware credentials or create recipients as EGroupware users.

That new facility can also be used from Mail compose to work around attachment size limitation imposed by mail servers.

A list of shared files in Filemanager menu allows to delete a share and therefore renders a sharing link immediately unusable.

2. Home app is back in form of a customizable dashboard

Dashboard was designed as a new form to organize your work:

have a couple of key customers to need to contact daily, just drag them to dashboard to always have them available
that calendar favorite showing the week of you and your co-worker, just add it to dashboard to have it always in view
same is true for all favorites they can be added by right click on dashboard: Add >> app-name >> Favorite >> select one
select a couple of entries from any app and drag them to dashboard
of course you can also add a simple note / post-it to your dashboard
EGroupware news have been ported to eTemplate2 and are therefore available too

3. Tablet support for EGroupware

EGroupware detects now tablets and other mobile devices and switched automatically to our new “mobile” theme.

Mobile theme rearranges user interface for the small screen on your device. It also adds touch support to:

select or deselect rows via right or left swipe
tab (long click) opens context menu with all available options
menu can be hidden to maximize space available for your content (state is remembers on a per app basis)
rotating the device moves menu from left side for landscape to top for portrait orientation to make most of available space
Edit dialogs and the like open full screen as you expect it from a mobile app. They always return to list they are opened from.

Mobile theme keeps all client side data available when changing view, to minimize traffic with server, like Pixelegg or Stylite template does already. You can also select it explicit as theme for small screens.

14.2 beta is immediate available from our download page, or as package for most Linux distributions:

http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=server%3AeGroupWare%3Atrunk&package=egroupware-epl

Have fun trying it out and tell us what you think about it through our Facebook page:

EGroupware 14.1 pubblicato

Gestione della squadra con l’Open Source

EGroupware 14.1 Release pubblicato il 10 luglio 2014

Come processi efficienti possono essere fusi con la migliore sicurezza possibile lo dimostra EGroupware con la sua ultima release della versione 14.1, che è stata resa pubblica oggi, 10 luglio 2014.

Con utenti in tutto il mondo, che contano in centinaia di migliaia e una presenza marcata di più di 11 anni, EGroupware è una delle applicazioni di gestione di team Open Source basate su browser di maggior successo. Gli sviluppatori hanno posizionato il software come alternativa a prodotti come Microsoft Office 365, soluzioni server aziendali come Exchange o Google.

Per la comunità e gli utenti aziendali, l’interfaccia utente sviluppata completamente nuova in particolare, così come ad esempio il nuovo client di posta elettronica, il modulo di amministrazione e centinaia di nuove funzioni sono pietre miliari, che distinguono la nuova versione dalle versioni precedenti.

Le tecnologie aggiornate permettono un lavoro fluido aiutato da funzioni intelligenti, il che porta a un lavoro confortevole con un browser conosciuto in precedenza solo dai clienti grassi.

Lo sviluppo del software basato su jQuery, Javascript e PHP fornisce la maggior parte delle caratteristiche moderne come l’auto-completamento, il drag & drop di file e voci, l’occultamento dei controlli non necessari, i menu contestuali e il caricamento dei dati più facile con dimensioni di dati quasi illimitate, nonché una ricchezza di nuove funzioni di sicurezza come una politica restrittiva di sicurezza dei contenuti e una forte crittografia delle password.

Inoltre, la sincronizzazione con i dispositivi mobili è stata immensamente semplificata includendo ActiveSync, CalDAV/Card/DAV e WebDAV nei pacchetti di installazione.

Secondo la dichiarazione di Stylite, il team internazionale di sviluppatori ha investito circa 6 anni di tempo di sviluppo nella nuova versione. “Crediamo in un internet libero e siamo molto fiduciosi sull’importanza futura della collaborazione online” sottolinea Ralf Becker, una delle forze trainanti di EGroupware e amministratore delegato di Stylite AG.

Quindi, EGroupware offrirà i più alti standard di sicurezza e una tecnologia aggiornata per i suoi utenti in futuro. Per esempio, l’editing collaborativo di documenti via browser web e la comunicazione criptata in tempo reale sono già in sviluppo.

Team Management with Open Source

EGroupware 14.1 Release published on 10th July 2014

How efficient processes can be merged with best possible security shows EGroupware with its latest release of version 14.1, which was made public today, 10th July 2014.

With users worldwide, which number in the hundred thousands and a marked presence of more than 11 years, EGroupware is one of the most successful browser based Open Source team management applications. The developers have positioned the software as an alternative to products like Microsoft Office 365, business server solutions like Exchange or Google.

For community as well as enterprise users, the completely new developed user interface in particular as well as e.g. the new email client, the admin module and hundreds of new functions are milestones, which set apart (distinguish) the new release from its former versions.

Up to date technologies allow smooth working helped by clever functions, which leads to comfortable working by browser known formerly only to fat clients.

Software development based on jQuery, Javascript and PHP provide most modern features like auto-complete, drag & drop of files and entries, hiding of not needed controls, context menus and easier data upload with nearly unlimited data size as well as a wealth of new security functions like a restrictive content security policy and strong password encryption.

Furthermore, the synchronization with mobile devices was immensely simplified by including ActiveSync, CalDAV/Card/DAV and WebDAV into the installation packages.

According to Stylite’s statement, the international developer team has invested about 6 man years development time into the new release. ”We believe in a free internet and are very confident about the future importance of online collaboration” Ralf Becker, one of the driving forces behind EGroupware and Managing Director Stylite AG, emphasizes.

Hence, EGroupware will offer highest security standards and up to date technology for its users in the future. For example, collaborative editing of documents via web browser and encrypted real time communication are already in development.
