Hello Together,

we have released a new maintenance release:

Changelog 17.1.20190111

• Api: show maintenance release as version-number everywhere

• Api/Filemanager/WebDAV: fix SQL error if login error or WebDAV path contains non-ascii chars
• Calendar/CalDAV: store huge iCal attributes compressed to fix stalled sync of Outlook/Exchange events
• Calendar/Mail: tell user if an event has been already already deleted when viewing a meeting request
• Mobile theme: Fix inconsistent styling of submit buttons on login page, when browsing with Safari
• Filemanager: fix missing empty directory context actions
• Filemanager: treat GoodSync gsdata directory as hidden / not shown by default
• Filemanager/EPL/GoodSync: ignore gsdata directory for versioning and subscriptions
• Mail: implement new preference to configure mail identity label shown as mail folder header
• Addressbook: add site configuration to disable Last/Next Event column
• Projectmanager: move format for ID generation from config to settings to allow eg. group-specific IDs

---

New funktions / preferences or other important things:

• Api: show maintenance release as version-number everywhere

The CE- and EPL-versions now show the release status in the lower left corner:

Until now, either the EGw-version or the software version of the API was displayed. That has always caused confusion in the forum.

This release-version should always be posted in the forum. See also:

How do I report a problem/error correctly?

---

• Calendar/Mail: tell user if an event has been already already deleted when viewing a meeting request

The user is now notified if the creator deletes the appointment in the meantime:

---

• Filemanager: treat GoodSync gsdata directory as hidden / not shown by default
• Filemanager/EPL/GoodSync: ignore gsdata directory for versioning and subscriptions

GoodSync creates a _gsdate_ -folder where it stores status information for synchronization. This folder should not be deleted.
To avoid irritation, this folder is no longer displayed. The folder can be displayed again like other hidden files:

Versioning and subscription is possible in the EPL-version. This folder is now no longer taken into account for both functions.

---

• Mail: implement new preference to configure mail identity label shown as mail folder header

The display of the e-mail account

can now be adjusted flexibly:

As always, the setting can be forced by the administrator or defined as default for user settings.

This setting should be checked and adjusted. The default setting changes with this update!

---

• Addressbook: add site configuration to disable Last/Next Event column

It is now possible to switch off the display of Last/Next Event by a setting.

Possible parameters:

Allow:	Appointments are displayed when the column is displayed.
Allow for Contacts only:	Appointments are only displayed for contacts, NOT for users in the address book.
Disabled:	No appointments are displayed.

Displaying appointments could take a long time depending on the number of appointments and contacts displayed. Now only appointments of contacts can be displayed, where there are usually considerably fewer appointments.

---

• Projectmanager: move format for ID generation from config to settings to allow eg. group-specific IDs

The setting for generating project IDs has been moved to the preferences:

This makes it possible to set default project-IDs for user groups as well (or just as before for everyone). So you can use different ID schemas in the EGroupware project manager.

This setting should be checked and adjusted.

Many greetings
