Download SOGo 3.0.0

Version 3.0 of SOGo has been released. Scalable OpenGroupware.org uses the source code of OpenGroupware.org and focuses on sharing calendars, contacts and emails. In addition, according to the developers, it is highly scalable and can be accessed via a web interface. Furthermore, modified versions of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning are included as clients. Other clients can also be used, such as Microsoft Outlook, or mobile devices such as a BlackBerry. For more information, please refer to this pagewhere the documentation can be found.

Version 3 has a completely redesigned interface, which complies with Google’s material design guidelines. However, little has changed on the backend. This means that features of version 2, which will continue to be actively developed for the time being, can be used perfectly in version 3. Version 3 can even be used alongside version 2 without any problems, where both versions use the same dataset. The announcement of this release can be found below.

SOGo v3.0.0 released

After about 1.5 year of development, Inverse is extremely happy to announce the immediate availability of SOGo v3.0! This release is considered ready for production use.

SOGo v3.0 brings an unified device-agnostic Web interface aligned with Google Material Design guidelines. SOGo v3 shares virtually the same backend code as v2 so all the Enterprise ActiveSync features, DAV capabilities and native Outlook compatibility are present in v3 and they share the same maturity as v2. However, the new Web interface reaches new horizons:

• Complete rewrite of the JavaScript frontend using Angular and AngularMaterial;
• Responsive design and accessible options focused on mobile devices;
• Horizontal 3-pane view for a better experience on large desktop screens;
• New color palette and better contrast ratio as recommended by the W3C;
• Improved accessibility to persons with disabilities by enabling common ARIA attributes.

Version 2 will continue to be maintained and it is possible to run both versions 2 and 3 concurrently on the same data set to ease the transition.
