When will Zimbra OSE for Ubuntu 10.04 be out of beta?

[acesuares]

Well, that's all I wanted to ask. I see some people installed it already, but I also see the big red flashing warning on the downloads page. What stops it from coming out of beta?
Can I help?

I would also like to know.

What issues are making the ubuntu version the only beta among the 6.08 series?

[vavai]

Ubuntu 10.04 officially launched on 6.0.8 series (Zimbra didn't provide binary for version prior 6.0.8) and it's the reason why it launched with the title "beta version". I think Zimbra has a right argument to put the new supported platform as beta version, because it's may hit to unknown bug. It's not only for Ubuntu, because the similar approach also applied to Fedora.

When it will remove the beta version depends on the error issue regarding new platform. If Zimbra binary has no issue anyway, Zimbra may remove the beta title on next release or so.

So you saying I should just take it into production? That would be good!

Nobody is stopping you providing you realise it's marked as Beta (and may eat your data and your computer may blow up) and you report any bugs you find in bugzilla.

I have found, after years of supporting software, that it is true for any piece of software, beta or gold

Yes, but it needs repeating once in a while.
