16.1 contains several new features and many improvements, just to name a
few:
- Calendar: complete rewrite of user interface for improved
functionality, drag&drop, context menu
- Mobile: new mobile phone and tablet user interface offering compact
display for mobile phones
- Desktop: new brighter desktop template, lots of work on usebility
and look & feel
- Mail/InfoLog: PGP end-to-end encryption using Mailvelope plugin
(InfoLog requires EPL subscription)
- eSync: update to Z-Push 2.3 fixing several Android problems
Please note changed minimum requirement of PHP 5.4+, recommended 5.6 or
7.0. That means you need at lease a Debian7, Ubuntu 14.04, RHEL 7 (6
with IUS repo) or openSUSE 13.1 or SLE 12. Of cause recommendation is
always to use a current distribution, not the oldest supporting EGroupware.
Recommended installation packages are available in a separate
server:eGroupware:trunk repository on build.opensuse.org:
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=server%3AeGroupWare%3Atrunk&package=egroupware-epl
EGroupware sources are managed on Github since a couple of weeks:
https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware
Above page also contains installation instructions for installation via
git with myrepos tool and archives.
An other way to test 16.1 is using our (soon available) 16.1 trials:

Happy testing
