much anticipated point release!

just a quick note-
the debian link on your download page points to the Developer Builds on SF, and not to the real debian package group

robbyt - Thanks. We saw that too, just haven't got it updated yet.

We didn't do the 3.1.1 upgrade, so we will be upgrading 2 servers from 3.1.0 to 3.1.2. If we run into any issues, I'll post them here.

Great news on the Outlook Connector fixes - until now, when something really hosed up the .zdb file, the only solution seemed to be to delete it, and pull everything from the server again - and the date format issue often a problem.

Thanks for the quick upgrade cycle (never thought I'd be saying THAT)!!

Hi Kevin,
Has the CVS tree been fixed ? Can I get the 3.1.2 source now ?
Thanks.

3.1.2 is off the cray branch - cvs should be up to date for that branch.

Upgrade went flawlessly!! Thanks again for a wonderful product!

Ditto on that - smooth upgrade of both servers, took no more than 5 or 6 minutes each for the entire process.

Definitely nicer not having Outlook crash and burn when there is a problem (I just get a dialogue asking if I want to abort, retry or cancel, and telling me abort, I think, will launch the debugger). I think that was fixed in 3.1.1, but we skipped that upgrade.

Now of course, we're just pining away for that shared-calendar-in-outlook support - the preview looked great. I think these point-releases are great, in that it's quickly turning Zimbra from a fresh-from-beta product into an enterprise-grade messaging platform.
