The new Admin4 has a new module included: modImap.

If you're maintaining a Cyrus IMAP server, you probably aren't too excited about its cyradm command line tool to create and maintain mailboxes. The modImap module replaces most of its functionality, so you virtually never will have to go back to cyradm again. Creating/renaming/deleting and maintaining ACLs on mailboxes is covered, of course UTF-7 aware so you don't need to handle stranglely garbled mailbox names.

A trivial but nasty bug that prevented Admin4 versions prior to 2.1.9 under Windows from downloading the update file correctly is fixed in this version. It went unnoticed for quite a while because I'm not an active Windows user, and consequently some WIndows related bugs could persist for a while. In any case and on any platform, your feedback is appreciated if you encounter some unwanted behaviour!

This release includes enhancements to LDAP and PostgreSQL modules, as well as some fixes:

• ldap: user entry creation is reworked for better uid/gid/rid generation
• pgsql: sequence support, fix favourites
• Core online update: minor fixes

This release includes some minor but important fixes:

• The LDAP module failed to create uid/gid/rid for new users under some circumstances, this should be fixed now.
• The core's online update function had a broken sha check after downloading the file, erroneously rejecting it as corrupted.

Due to this update function error, you'll need to download the new version from SourceForge and install it manually.

The new V2.1.6 release has some minor updates that makes handling easier, like support for the F5 shortcut key.

The PostgreSQL module has been enriched with a logfile viewer, and can instrument and configure older servers starting with 8.1 now.

The new 2.1.5 release of Admin4 now has an object find function, that lets you locate objects in the browser tree faster. The LDAP and PostgreSQL module enhance this feature, by not just scanning the tree, but searching the database and populating the object browser tree if necessary.

Although the minor version steps seems to indicate this release to be just minor, this isn't completely true. The DNS and LDAP modules didn't gain more features, but the Admin4 core now has a cryptographically secured online update function.

This fresh release features an update mechanism which lets you update/install single modules or the whole application without downloading the full package. While I'll continue to provide complete OS specific packages, you'll only have to download the source package and apply it via the update mechanism.

modBind has a fix which might prevent loading. modLdap has no additional changes, except for preparation for the update mechanism.

This is a minor update which fixes connection problems in modLdap and manual registration in modBind.

More important, the documentation has been greatly enhanced.

Admin4.org prowdly presents:

Admin4 V2.1.1

This is the very first release, considered stable and usable, announced on freecode. modBind is V0.98, modLdap V0.95.
