Software changes

NOTE: If you are upgrading and/or migrating from an older version of Zimbra to Zimbra 8.8 Production Ready, please read "Things to Know Before Upgrading" and "First Steps with the Zimbra NG Modules" for critical information before you upgrade.


What's New

Zimbra Talk - As announced at Zimbra Forum France 2018, we're proud to introduce Zimbra Talk! Experience Group and Corporate Messaging, File Sharing, and Videoconferencing right inside the Zimbra Web Client. Administrators can learn more by reading the Admin Guide.
Simplified SSO support in Zimbra Connector for Outlook™ - Previously, SSO authentication required matching the ZCO profile (email address) to the Windows logon name, with some other indirect settings. Now users can explicitly set a checkbox to "Connect using my Windows login credentials", which is clearer and supports the common situation where an email address and Windows login are different. Refer to the updated Tech Note for admin details.
New localization in Zimbra Connector for Outlook - ZCO now supports Vietnamese.

NOTE: Beta features should not be installed and are not supported on production systems. Beta modules have been provided for evaluation in lab environments only.

ZeXtras Suite Changelog

Backup NG:
  • Added an additional safety check and parser for calendar metadata to ensure proper restoring even in case of bad data typing.
  • The LDAP Backup feature now also works over SSL and TLS.
Mobile NG:
  • Changed the attachment management logic to fix a bug that could cause an illegal value for the EstimatedDataSize value of an EAS transaction.
  • Fixed a bug that caused a misleading and harmless exception in the mobile debug log when sending an email with an image or ics attachment.
  • Fixed an issue that caused contact notes to be deleted after being synchronized through EAS 2.5.
  • Added a sanity check on Server IDs to ensure a badly formatted information can't block the synchronization.
  • Modified Content-Disposition Mime parsing, adding quotes for each assignment (=) to avoid illegal characters like commas. Empty assignments are also stripped.
  • Error handling code has been tweaked in order not to return an HTTP Status 200 on an error, using the appropriate status code instead (400).
  • Fixed a bug that caused attachments to be unretrievable from shared folders.
HSM NG:
  • Fixed a typo in the output of the `getAllOperations` command.
  • Several exception types have been added to the Mailbox Move feature to better handle errors.
  • Mailbox Move commands can now be queued up.

    • accounts- a list of mailboxes to move, separated by ";"
    • domain - to move an entire domain
    • input_file - path to a file containin one email address per line
  • Improved output for the doDeduplicate command when executed in dry-run mode.
Admin Console:
  • Admin Console upgraded in order to properly handle requests from different servers (Legacy or NG) to improve its usability during Rolling Upgrades.

  • Added message delivery and read awareness
    • 0 ticks, message undelivered
    • 1 tick, message delivered

Quick note: Compatibility

SOAP requests, e.g. those in code for custom admin actions, may need to be updated to maintain compatibility beginning with this release. To address the security issue in Bug 108894, the GetServer, GetAllServers, and GetAllActiveServers SOAP responses now send "VALUE_BLOCKED" for zimbraSSLPrivateKey by default.

Zimbra Drive is compatible with:

  • NextCloud versions 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 only (See NextCloud store for latest.)
  • ownCloud versions 9.0, 9.1, and 10 only
