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 is available 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 now planned for this Friday 1. July 2016.
Happy testing
