UPDATE: the first 1.4.004 packages contained two bugs:
- felamimail gave an error "no egw_simple toolbar set"
- the spellchecker / aspell did not work (it need to be configured and enabled in Admin >> Site configuration)
The 1.4.004-2 tar.bz2, tar.gz and zip packages and the 1.4.005-15 rpm packages are fixing the above errors.
==> WE RECOMMEND EVERYONE UPDATES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
The update includes all previous 1.4 updates and requires no schema update (if you upgrade within the 1.4 release).
The fixed security problems are grave, if you have directories writable by the webserver in you docroot (in most windows server the complete docroot writable by default, but many linux servers are also set up that way).
The new version 2.6 of FCKeditor supports now newer Safari and Opera browsers, see http://www.fckeditor.net
Please note: as FCK contains many static javascript and css files, you and your users might have to delete the browser cache after the update!
tar.bz2, tar.gz and zip files are downloadable from sf.net
fixed security problem reported by lukasz.pilorz@allegro.pl
==> we recommend everyone updates to this release ASAP!
many bugfixes since 1.4.001/2
a complete list of the changes is available via the changelog
Download Tar and Zip packages from sourceforge.net. Please note that notification, importexport and SyncML require php5.1, while the rest of eGW 1.4 requires only php4.3! Please remember you always need the additional egroupware-pear package!
Rpm's for SuSE, Fedora & Mandriva are available via the egroupware repository at SuSE build service:
There are now also repository files (*.repo), which can be used for Yast or Yum to make the eGroupWare repository available to your package management.
This update had to be produced on very short notice, as the original mail to security@egroupware.org was bounced, by the mail infrastructure operated by the former project member Lars Kneschke. The project has no control over it and the egroupware.org domain, which is owned by the Lars Kneschke. In spite of his public statement that the egroupware.org domain belongs to the project, he has not transferred the domain to the eGroupWare project. He was contacted multiple times and was sent a transfer form, he only need to sign.
We ask everyone to politely contact Lars Kneschke (l.kneschke@metaways.de) and the Tine project to help convincing them to transfer the egroupware.org domain to the eGroupWare project.
If we can't get control over the domain or it get switched off or to a different website, we have to switch the eGroupWare infrastructure to www.egroupware-server.org

Admin statement regarding eGroupWare and Tine split
Since Tine has now violated the press clause in the admin statement from December at least twice, we have decided to take action in response. This was done after private discussion with Lars and Conny:
1. From now on, Tine is no longer part of the eGroupware project. They have 1 week from today to copy their svn contents elsewhere.
2. The two eGroupWare developers and project members Lars Kneschke and Cornelius Weiss are hereby expelled from the project due to their repeated acts against the project. They have been warned and appear to have no remorse nor respect for the rules of the project.
The admins - Ralf Becker, Miles Lott, Pim Snel
Printed English User Manuals are available from mid December 2007 on
Since 2008, January 2th, you can get a printed User Manual in English language, beside the German one available since some years.
The User Manual Version 1.4 contains several descriptions of the eGroupWare applications and one Chapter about "getting started" in the popular eGroupWare modules. The manual has 180 pages and nearly 110 colored screenshots.
The manual was translated by a professional translator from the German User Manual to English.
The English Manual is now complete online available.
Thanks to Ingo Kreißelmeyer from Outdoor Unlimited Training (Germany) and Francisco Peralta from Velocity Medical Management (USA).

eGroupWare 1.4 final available
The eGroupWare project is proud to announce the 3. major release of our well know groupware suite.
It contains uncountable improvements over the 1.2 release. To name a few:
The 1.4 release contains no more of the 1.2 contrib applications. If you want to continue to use them - against our recomendation, as they are no longer maintained - you can do so by checking them out from svn, see www.egroupware.org/wiki/subversion
Many thanks to all developers, translators and testers :-)
The eGroupWare release team
eGroupWare 1.2.107 security update
This is a security update for eGroupWare 1.2.
We recommend everyone upgrades ASAP either to this update OR the new 1.4 version (final or RC2), which also include all the fixes.
The problems have been in the external library wz_tooltips (fixed by using the newest version) and ADOdb. The exploidts require an account in eGroupWare (please be aware that anonymous access to SiteMgr or the wiki provides such an account!).
