An updated release candidate (1.8.001.20100929) is available from the usual sources (see the replied mail). It fixes most of the bugs reported on the lists our via our tracker. If there are no critical reports in the next 2 weeks, final 1.8 will be released mid October. I recommend looking into 1.8 release notes, for the requirements and last minute updates: ``` www.egroupware.org/wiki/releasenotes1.8 ``` Ralf > What’s new in EGroupware v1.8? > > It contains many improvements AND lot’s of bugfixes over the 1.6 > release.
