Greetings, The SquirrelMail Team is pleased to bring you the first release candidate ahead of our next SquirrelMail version: 1.4.20RC1. Because of the somewhat invasive nature of some of the changes we have recently made, we are issuing a "release candidate" before we officially move to version 1.4.20. While we have been very careful to ensure the stability of SquirrelMail, this version, 1.4.20 release candidate 1, has undergone limited testing, and we'd like to have more feedback before we make version 1.4.20 final. The most notable changes for this version are the addition of two security mechanisms that fight cross-site request forgeries (CSRF), the removal of some deprecated PHP functions, some minor fixes in the filters plugin, and increased user privacy. For more complete details, see the ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog files included in this release (in the doc/ directory). Due to the security issues fixed herein, we'd like to advise all users of SquirrelMail software to upgrade. However, because this is technically a "release candidate", it may be most prudent to to test your upgrade before putting it into production use. We are confident that most systems will not experience any trouble, but we'll be happy to work with you to resolve any issues that do arise. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

We have a lot to be grateful for and many people to thank for how successful we've been! But running a high-profile project with all-volunteer labor means that the mundane chores gradually consume all our effort and sideline our visionary initiatives for our next big release. We feel that the time is right, after so many years of free service, to ask our community to contribute to the project and support us in keeping up with ongoing maintenance and development, and in speeding up the release of our new, fully-skinable "Web 2.0" version. Please visit our donations and bounties page here: http://squirrelmail.org/donations.php Attention developers: We consist of volunteers developing the most popular open source webmail client available. We're looking for people to join our team to help keep our product quality high and to continue to deliver new and enhanced features. Our project offers an interesting challenge at the intersection of the IMAP, SMTP and HTTP protocols. What can you do to help? Any of the following: * Develop new features: help out on making SquirrelMail "skinnable" or work with new technologies * Help sort and fix bugs: interact with submitters, find test cases and solutions to bugs * Support our users by answering questions on the mailing lists or the IRC channel * Translate SquirrelMail into your language * Donate to the developers: feed us nuts!
