What's coming in 7.0 (was 6.4)

[girish]

@d19dotca Don't have an ETA yet, but hoping to finish the features this week, then we can test next week. I replied in the other thread to follow up.

@girish said in What's coming in 6.4:

recvmail addon is fixed now. we will have to fix the apps after the release.

Does this mean you'll be able to fix apps like Discourse so they can receive posts by email? Think / hope so!

[girish]

@jdaviescoates yes. But for discourse, we also need pop support it seems.

Unless you use the API instead:

Impersonate user feature:

You can click on the impersonate button (second button from left):

This will create a temporary password that you can use to login to apps or the dashboard. This will help admins to pre-setup things on behalf of the user. Importantly, this does not reset the user's existing password, this is an alternate password.

There's a link in the profile page now to send password reset request:

POP3 support is enabled on the server but it's disabled for all mailboxes by default. It has to enabled per mailbox.

So, the status of the release is that mailbox forwarding is being worked on. Once that is done, we will cut a release.

Getting excited for 6.4 (especially since it fixes a bug that's currently keeping me locked in-place with my current hosting provider), and all the amazing improvements particularly around email!

Was just wondering if there was an ETA for us. I know I asked about 11 days ago, just really looking forward to it. haha.

Also a slightly selfish reason for asking... it'll save me from having to pay another month of hosting from my current host if I can migrate off before end of this month if that other defect is fixed which is supposed to be fixed with 6.4, not a ton of time left for me to plan it out since it has to be in the middle of the night (i.e. weekends only, 3 weekends left and I'm guessing this weekend will be too soon, so really only 2 weekends left for me to do this migration so I'm getting a bit antsy).

[girish]

@d19dotca we plan to release next week, for sure.

[girish]

Possibly final update: the manual tests went fine. We are just getting the e2e tests to pass and then we are good.

[d19dotca]

@girish will this be out later today by any chance?

[nebulon]

@d19dotca it is still in our end to end tests....

[girish]

@d19dotca I will contact you from support, I think we can fix up your instance so you are not blocked by this.

Main issue is DO DNS is really letting us down this week. It keeps failing sporadically causing our tests to fail.

[girish]

As a heads up, this release will get published as Cloudron 7.0 and not 6.4 . It's because we stop supporting Ubuntu 16 from this major version and also the format of backups have changed.

@girish

It is a pity you can't hear the loud cheers and applause when you give us news like this.

[d19dotca]

Great job guys! Super long changelog, happy to see many of the changes included there! I'm going to upgrade likely tomorrow night.

PS - Girish, the migration went well from you manually adding in the self-signed certs the other day. I really appreciate the awesome support and help with that! You guys rock!

Why are we allowing POP3? It's an old, outdated, and insecure mail protocol.
