Release Overview
Release Date: 12th July 2016
Release Version: v7.8.0
Warnings & User Notices:
Atmail 7.8 contains significant upgrades to core services, including SabreDAV. Please note: this upgrade to SabreDAV requires the migration of database tables from the old schema to the latest schema packaged with Sabre 3.0.9.
⚠ Minimum PHP version has increased to PHP version 5.4. Atmail now supports CentOS 7.
⚠ Important: Your user DAV uri paths will change!
This means that your users will have to change their 3rd party clients to follow the uri format below:
Principal, calendar and addressbook uris will change from "principals/users/user@domain" to "principals/user@domain", from "calendars/users/user@domain" to "calendars/user@domain" and "addressbooks/users/user@domain" to "addressbooks/user@domain".
Please be aware that that upgrade process contains a migration script from sabre/dav 1.8.9 to 3.0.9 database schema and values. As such this upgrade will interrupt the dav service until the migration process has completed.
