Any word on the new release?

"Real Soon, Now".Honestly, even if I had a tentative release date, I couldn't give it publically.It's due out "early this year".I imagine we'll have something in the next several weeks. The phrase, "a few weeks", can mean up to 10, in my somewhat confused brain, and that's not a promise that you'll see the new comms released 10 weeks from the first time I said, "a few weeks".

The new release is exactly that, a new release. It's not 6.2-7 or -8. It's 6.3.

That includes a new webmail setup, reportedly CE now runs via imap, instead of via http.

Expect the MTA to be pretty much the same.

Expect the store to be pretty much the same. Some performance enhancements.

Directory 6.0 will be bundled with 6.3. The Directory Console is gone. Delegated Admin has been enhanced. How far? I dunno.

That's been the plan. I haven't heard anything to the contrary.

Historically, it's been several patches, including some for "shared componants", Messaging core, DA, dssetup, CE, etc.
