[SOGo] ANN: SOGo v2.3.9

[Francis Lachapelle]

The Inverse Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of SOGo 2.3.9. This is a minor release of SOGo which focuses on small new features and improved stability over previous versions.


What is SOGo

SOGo is a free and modern scalable groupware server. It offers shared calendars, address books and emails through your favorite Web browser or by using a native client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning, Apple Calendar and Address Book (Mac OS X and iOS) and Microsoft Outlook.

SOGo is standard-compliant and supports CalDAV, CardDAV and reuses existing IMAP, SMTP and database servers - making the solution easy to deploy and interoperable with many applications.

SOGo features:

Scalable architecture suitable for deployments from dozen to many thousand users
Rich Web-based interface that shares the look and feel, the features and the data of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning
Improved integration with Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning by using the SOGo Connector and the SOGo Integrator
Native compatibility for Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013
Two-way synchronization support with any Microsoft ActiveSync-capable device (Apple iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry 10) or Outlook 2013
Excellent native integration with Apple software (Mac OS X and iOS) and Android-based devices
and many more! SOGo and our connectors are completely free.

Dear Francis,

This parameter is not mentioned in SOGo Installation Guide.

fixed EAS bday shift (#3518)

Can we expect a new sogo-3.x release soon with this fix? Or, how can i install a nightly build?
