Major Update 7.5.1

Stewart -

Release overview

Release Date: 16 June 2015
Release Versions: On-Premises v7.5.1

⚠ Warning
Version 7.5.1 contains significant changes around how assets are included across the different user interface modules (web user interface, mobile user interface, and admin interface). Javascript and CSS files are now compressed and combined together for performance gain.

If you have customized your interface either by adding or changing these files, please ensure you have all the appropriate back-ups prior to updating. Post-update action may be required in case of added files.

In order to help minimise display issues in line with these modifications, we have implemented “browser cache defeat” – however, if your customers experience oddities in the display, please advise them to clear their browser cache.

Use minification tools in order to reduce asset (CSS, JS) size and number, so that UI performance and maintainability of webmail, admin and mobile interfaces can be improved.

Minification itself takes care of reducing asset size by compacting them through getting rid of selected characters such as white spaces, line breaks and others.
Concatenation combines multiple files into single ones which are then cached on both backend and frontend sides.

atmail server install fails with an error on Ubuntu Server due to "source" command not available in sh shell 

 It seems with the PHP version shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 the 'exec()' function uses 'sh' as a shell to execute the commands. The problem is that 'source' is a bash internal command, so 'source' is not availabe in this environment. Sysadmins installing atmail
