What's New
Docs Server | Zimbra Docs server installer is available for Ubuntu 18, Ubuntu 16 and RHEL 7. You can download the Docs server installers from the Zimbra Docs page. |
ZCS | zmmboxmove command generated "Read timed out" error when using foreground (--sync ) mode. This issue is now fixed.
|
Zimbra Drive | Files sent via Zimbra Connect are now visible in Zimbra Drive under a new “Connect Sent Files” root folder. |
Zimbra Connect | The Zimbra Connect database has been migrated from Zimbra’s MariaDB to a dedicated HSQL instance. Migration is automatically handled during an upgrade. |
Zimbra Connect | We are now enforcing a hard limit of 4096 characters to all chat messages so that long messages no longer appear truncated in the message history. |
Fixed Issues
ZCS | Fixed a bug in the EWS extension that was creating tmp files with the prefix /opt/zimbra/jetty_base/work/cxf- . These files led to a rapid increase in disk space in some instances.
|
ZCS | Fixed an issue wherein users were not able to send an email using send-as (persona) with an attachment |
ZCS | With the default cipher configuration, *Weak cipher suite* warnings appear in the logs. No security concern is associated with the presence of these suites, as they are not used. The warnings may be suppressed by following the instructions in KB23863. |
ZCO | Fixed Zimbra Migration Tool which was skipping folders due to container class IPF.NOTE
|
ZCO | MS Office 2007 has reached the end of its extended support period so it is no longer supported by any version of ZCO. Current documentation has been updated to reflect this. |
Zimbra Connect | Updated timezone management to reflect the changes in Brazilian DST usage. |
Zimbra Connect | Emojis were temporarily disabled in Patch 5 due to a character set incompatibility with an updated version of Zimbra's database. The problem is now resolved, and emojis are re-enabled. Both the sender and the receiver must be on a server running 8.8.15p7 or higher for the emojis to work as intended. |
HSM | Fixed a bug that could cause a false positive “Backup Path is case insensitive“ blocking error. |
NG Backup | The RealTime scanner did not detect the creation of mount-points. This issue has been fixed. |
NG Mobile | Fixed a bug that caused the response to a complex-repeated calendar appointment to fail. |
NG Mobile | An iteration error prevented edits made to recurring appointments from correctly syncing with the server. This issue is now fixed. |
NG Mobile | Device List management now has Zimlet performance improvements so that the initial request that populates the list does not timeout on infrastructures with multiple mailboxd servers.
|
Zimbra Network Modules NG | Fixed a bug that could cause pre-auth validation to fail due to a NullPointerException error while processing Admin NG SOAP commands. As a temporary workaround, stop the logging of Admin NG service with zxsuite admin doStopService logging . Reapply after every mailbox service restart, but note that doing so prevents Admin NG from gathering the information needed to compile its monthly report.
