Zentyal Development Team is glad to announce that the definitive development roadmap for the next stable Zentyal server release (Zentyal 3.2) has now been published. Zentyal 3.2 will run on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) and it will be released in September 2013. The 3.1 branch code freeze is expected on June 15th.
Zentyal 3.2 will primarily improve the current features of Zentyal Linux small business server, focusing specially on improving the Samba4 integration. In short, the main features that will be introduced are GPO support, external AD authentication/SSO, Contacts and Distribution lists support and Multiple OU support via Zentyal UI. You can find the detailed roadmap soon at trac and give any feedback on the roadmap in the Forum.
In addition, Zentyal 3.2 comes with important improvements in Zentyal core, user experience and better support in disaster recovery scenarios: improved UI responsiveness, JQuery UI and MySQL backup. Moreover, this new release will come with IPS integration, L2TP support for mobile connectivity and support for headless installation.
So, a great release is coming up and the first beta will be out very soon (with IPS, L2TP, UI responsiveness improvements and headless installation). Stay tuned to join the Zentyal Beta Testing Team to make this the best Zentyal release ever!
