Roundcube 1.7 RC4 Released – File‑Permission Fixes and a Clean Install Path
The fourth release candidate of Roundcube 1.7 lands with a tiny permission fix and a broken‑link tweak that kept the installer from handing over its generated config file. This piece explains what changed, why it matters for a live mail server, and how to move your existing setup over without losing any messages.
What’s new in 1.7 RC4?
The developer team has squashed two minor issues that were annoying for sysadmins. The most noticeable change is the correct setting of file permissions when the release is built from source. In RC3 many users found themselves unable to write logs or save settings because the web server couldn’t access certain folders. With RC4 those directories are now created with the right mode, so a fresh install no longer hits that stumbling block.
The installer itself also gets a quick tweak: it now correctly links to download the generated configuration file. That means you can grab your config.inc.php straight from the web interface without hunting through the filesystem.
