Ebox 0.7.1 RC1 is out

adminNews

ebox 0.7.1-rc1 is out. It’s already downloadable from the usual place.

This is not just a maintenance release, as some new features have been added as well. Amongst them, the highly demanded support for PDC. Now your Windows users can authenticate against your ebox machine, use roaming profiles and so on.

To ease the process of installation we have tailored a Debian installer CD. It contains the ebox system base and all the available modules already on it. Now, it is easier than ever to install ebox.

Of course, it’s shipped with a bunch of bugfixes. This release is much more polished than the last 0.7. So, even though it’s officially a release candidate, this is the stable version and the one we recommend you install.

You can read a more detailed changelog below.
