Hi fellow eBox users!
Your favourite development team proudly presents the availability of
eBox platform 0.12. This release brings a lot of bug fixes to increase the
stability and reliability that we all expect from such a product. However,
you will find more than bug fixes in this release. We have made some changes
to the UI of several modules: mail, maifilter and openVPN. We have worked on
reducing the memory footprint and increasing the performance, and much
more. As usual you can take a deeper look at the change log below.
The packages are available in our development branch in launchpad, although
they will make it to our stable branch after we get some feedback from our
users -yes, that’s you, and you too. Let’s cut to the chase, to install
these packages you will have to add this apt source:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox-unstable/ubuntu hardy main
For those of you who love bleeding edge stuff, I have great news. We already
have working packages of eBox for Intrepid. If you are up for it, just add this
source to your Intrepid installation:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox-unstable/ubuntu intrepid main
