Dear community members, developers and EGroupware users,
Stylite AG is happy to announce the first 16.1 release candidate.
16.1 contains many new features and 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 usability
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, the changed minimum requirement of PHP 5.4+, recommended
5.6 or 7.0. It means you need at least a Debian7, Ubuntu 14.04, RHEL 7
(6 with IUS repo) or openSUSE 13.1 or SLE 12. Recommendation is of
course always to use a current distribution, e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 or
RHEL/CentOS 7 with PHP 7.
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.
Alternatively to a test installation of 16.1 on an own server,
EGroupware will be available from Wednesday on as a trial service of the
Stylite computing center.
Please help testing the release candidate. We´re looking forward to your
feedback on our Facebook page:

Final release is currently planned for beginning of July 2016.
Happy testing 
Ralf
