[Phpgroupware-users] 0.9.16RC1 is ready for testing

[Dave Hall]

The much awaited 0.9.16 Release Cantidate 1 version phpGroupWare is now
available for testing.

You can grab it from cvs and or download it from
http://phpgroupware.org/downloads (update instructions at bottom of
annoucement). Please note that rpms and debs will be made available only
once the final stable version is released.

We have included many new goodies for you.  

The idots template set is now fully implemented and supported.

A completely revamped contacts backend.  It is now possible to store
just about any type of information regarding a contact.  There is a
seperation of organisation and person contacts, with the ability to link
the two, or even linking organisations to each other.  This will also be
foundation of the new messaging api planned for the next major release,
later this year.  We have also improved the linking of data in the
contacts store and other applications.

wiki - web based group creation/editing of formatted documents with
revision control
(if you've ever used a wiki, you love it)

knowledgebase - create and make available how-tos, FAQ, manuals, guides,
etc and
allow users to comment on them

javassh - log into your remote computer and get shell access from within
phpgroupware

email - now includes a search tool and some new icon sets

Most applications have additional features added, too many to list here.

NOTE: This is a release candidate and not a final release and should not
be used in a production environment. Due to the large quantity of new
code, we are expecting bug reports.  We plan to deal with all bug
reports immediately.  New users should use the 0.9.14 version also
available from the phpgroupware.org web site. Don't forget to backup
your data before you upgrade.  Also the version will be displayed as
0.9.14.5xx until the final version is released.
