Roundcube Webmail 1.7 Beta has been released and represents a beta release for the forthcoming major version of Roundcube Webmail. This update includes several significant changes, new features, and comprehensive support for PHP 8.4. Significant updates consist of requiring public_html/ as a mandatory entry point for HTTP daemons, enhancing OAuth2 support, introducing a mouse-over menu on the messages list featuring quick action icons, and incorporating advanced mail search syntax. The test file contains a compilation of implemented keywords.

The components of content-type text/markdown are now displayed as HTML when designated for viewing. A PHP logging driver has been implemented, which directs all log statements to PHP's error_log handler, facilitating the unification of all log output. This release requires PHP version 8.1 or later and advises conducting tests in a separate environment.

The changelog outlines several important updates: The minimum required PHP version has been set to 8.1, jQuery has been updated to version 3.7.1, the dependency on JsTimeZoneDetect has been removed, an APCu cache driver has been added, composer.json.dist has been renamed to composer.json, the public_html/ entry point is now mandatory, support for MS SQL Server and Oracle has been discontinued, and more stringent code quality and style validation measures have been implemented.

The additional features comprise a mouse-over menu on the message list, advanced mail search syntax, and expanded options for the default mail search scope, font list, and font-size list for HTML editors. The plugin API has undergone an update, and enhancements have been made to the installation process.

Roundcube Webmail 1.7-beta

This is a beta release for the next major version 1.7 of Roundcube webmail.

With this milestone we introduce a few breaking changes, some new features, and bring full support for PHP 8.4.

Some noteworthy changes are:

• Make public_html/ mandatory as entry-point for HTTP daemons, protecting all installations better.
• Improve support for OAuth2 (e.g. supporting OpenID Connect discovery URLs).
• A Mouse-over menu on the messages list with quick action icons.
• Advanced mail search syntax with more possibilities – you can now use e.g. is:unread to only match unread messages. The  test file has a list of implemented keywords.
• Message parts of content-type text/markdown are now rendered to HTML (if they are designated for showing).
• Add a 'php' logging driver, which passes all log statements to PHP's error_log handler, allowing to unify all log output.
• Requires PHP v8.1 or newer.

Breaking Changes

• Dropped support for PHP < 8.1.
• Removed support for MS SQL Server and Oracle.
• Make public_html/ entry-point mandatory, all static resources are served via static.php.
• Removed apc cache driver (replaced by apcu cache driver).
• Change smtp_log option default value to false.

This is a beta release and we recommend to test it on a separate environment.
Migrate existing configs with either the installto.sh or the update.sh scripts.

And don't forget to backup your data before installing it!
