Important Note about PHP 4.1.0 ============================== -First of all, let me say that you all HAVE been warned: the -SquirrelMail Project Team is not supporting PHP 4.1.0 for the 1.2.0 -release. Basically, SquirrelMail was in the final death throws of -this development series when the witty PHP folks decided to make the -release of 4.1.0. Of course, we greatly appreciate their hard work! :) - -However, we were too close to the end of this whole thing to be able -to spend the week or two EXTRA that it will take to get SquirrelMail -1.2 PHP 4.1.0 ready. This will, on the bright side, be a major -priority amongst the team in the immediate future. At first look, it -seems that 4.1.0 support should just require a collection of -relatively minor tweaks. You can expect 4.1.0 support within 2-3 -weeks, as a part of a later 1.2.X release. - - -Where are we going from here? -============================= - -After things cool down a bit and the smoke clears from 1.2, -progress will begin on the Great SquirrelMail Rewrite, also known as -the 1.3 development branch. This branch will eventually become the -long talked about SquirrelMail 2.0. The major developmental emphasis -for SquirrelMail 2.0 will be in making SquirrelMail more flexible -and modular so that it might do a better job meeting the needs of -our system administrators and end-users. We are greatly anticipating -working in this area. - -At the same time, we will kick start the SquirrelMail Teams. For -some time now, we have been planning a reorganization of the project -into a variety of sub-teams. Each sub-team will focus on a different -aspect of SquirrelMail Project work. These teams will hopefully help -keep the SquirrelMail project more on track and to provide some -semblance of order. This project has grown so large in the past two -years that an orderly structure is necessary if anything is to get -done effectively. The teams (as planned) are as follows: - - Stable Series Team: Maintains the stable series - Development Series Team: Works on the development series - i18n Team: Handles i18n (internationalization) work - Plugin Team: Manages the mass of plugins - User Support Team: Helps users with their problems - Documentation Team: Manages the documentation - Evangelism Team: Spreads the good news of SquirrelMail - -Teams will be led by one or two SquirrelMail team members. And team -members can participate in as many teams as he or she desires. - -For the next few weeks, the developers will be working on bug-fixing -and making the 1.2 series rock solid. After that, about mid January, -focus will shift toward getting the teams in gear and starting work -on the SquirrelMail 1.3 development series. - - -About our Release Aliases - by Paul Joseph Thompson +Finally, we have managed to make *this* SquirrelMail release cooperate +nicely with the new PHP 4.1 release. As opposed to 1.2.4 and before, +which was less good friends with PHP 4.1. + +So: "Yes! It works" + +About our Release Aliases - by Wouter Teepe ========================= -I just really appreciated how Wouter took charge and got this wonderful -1.2.1 release ready for prime time. It was not very long after I made -the 1.2.0 release when someone had already discovered the bug that made -the folders page screwed up for Netscape 4.x users. After the long hours -I put in getting 1.2.1 out, Wouter's quick help was a lifesaver. +Back with the release of 1.2.0, back when Christmas was recent, and +not the Olympics, there was this vision of structurgin the +SquirrelMail community into "Teams", all doing their own thing. + +Finally, the teams have really kicked off. :-) + +And, I would like to welcome all our new community members, being both +YOU, the eventful users of SquirrelMail, as well as Simon Dick, Jason +Munro, Pete Palmer and Chris Hills who have became team leads, as +well as Marc Groot Koerkamp and Thijs Kinkhorst (both just by incident +inhabitants of the same country as me :-)) who have recently joined +SquirrelMail and have made worthy contributions. + +Welcome to the SquirrelMail teams. -I also want to thank Dave Huang for supplying the patch to Wouter via -the development list that fixed this icky bug. Thanks, Dave. Much -appreciation! +(And now...get the Great Rewrite geared up) See http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/SquirrelRelease for more details. - Have a Merry Christmas! Happy SquirrelMailing! - The SquirrelMail Project Team
