Synacor Announces Support for Social Justice

With this patch, Synacor affirms its support of social justice awareness throughout the world and moves made by the tech community to reexamine and replace dated terminology, pledging inclusive language. Specific terminology changes Synacor will make:

   * Master/Slave to Primary/Secondary or Replica
   * Blacklist/Whitelist to Deny List/Allow List
   * White Hat/Black Hat with Ethical/Unethical.

The scope of these changes will include all Zimbra interfaces Synacor has built: all User Interface Screens and Command Line Interfaces (CLIs). The scope does not include any APIs (SOAP, REST or Libraries), Configuration files, Administrative files and any Third Party Software included as part of our products.

We recognize these changes will take time and have the potential to break certain infrastructure (scripts, for example) that our customers may have built. Thus with this announcement, we want to alert our customers that we will be deprecating such items in the future. Sufficient notice will be given to our customers so they can prepare to change their source code if necessary. Thank you for helping us alter the language to better match our shared values of equality, diversity and inclusion.

ZCO

  • With this release, ZCO has enhanced the address book search feature. The search now includes looking for substrings within the name fields. It is effective specifically when the fields contain multiple words. For more details, please refer to the admin guide section.

Zimbra Video Server (BETA)

  • With this release, we are introducing Video Server (BETA) for Zimbra Connect. The Video Server (BETA) is a WebRTC stream aggregator that improves Team’s performance by merging and decoding/re-encoding all streams in a meeting. Please refer to the admin guide for instructions on installing the Video Server on the systems.

Zimbra Docs

  • New version of Docs Server is available and can be found on the Network Edition Downloads page.
  • The sidebar is now hidden by default in Docs so the interface is more clear.

Zimbra Drive

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent an admin to disable drive at startup from the web admin console

NG Modules

  • Input validation has been added to CLI to warn the administrator when invalid email addresses are given

Fixed Issues

Zimbra Collaboration

  • Fixed an issue with SPAM assassin training.
  • In the Classic Web App, operations that invoked a lot of GetInfoRequest and GetFolderRequest resulted in "StackOverflowErrors" followed by 'Connection pool shut down'. It also caused the system to become unresponsive. The issue has been fixed.

NG Auth

  • Auth’s "Domain configuration missing" notification will now ignore domain alias and be sent at most once a day.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the account’s password to be usable for EAS synchronization even if a Mobile Password was set.

NG Modules

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the backup volume to be correctly created if S3 credentials are passed to the command.
  • Added a missing ' in the "smarstcan completed" mail.
  • Fixed a bug with the timezone that made the all day events created via Exchange ActiveSync to be added to the day before instead of the correct one on the webmail.
  • Email sent via Exchange ActiveSync will not automatically have the follow-up flag now.

Zimbra Connect

  • Fixed an issue that would cause video conferences and instant messaging to be unavailable for a few seconds while mail attachments are downloaded.
  • Improved the screen sharing avatar placement so that it no longer makes the screensharing function difficult to use.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause a screen share to continue after closing the group/space/channel/instant meeting window.
  • The "Mute" button has been changed to "Mute for all".
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent all abort button not to work when creating a new instant meeting while another one is already running.
  • Improved TEAM opening screen, now an animation makes clear to the user that the application is loading.
  • Added Edit, Delete, Forward, Reply to to messages in conversations, groups, channels.
  • Connect now verifies if the account status is "maintenance" and if not send or receive further messages for it.
  • If the shared rooms or instant meetings have Deleted accounts, the chat history in Zimbra Connect did not appear. The issue has been fixed.

Zimbra Drive

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent drive items to be shared to distribution lists.

HSM

  • Added further examples when invoking a docheckblobs operation without parameters.
  • doCreateVolume command improved to give the administrator feedback when run.
