Welcome to the forums.

You must be eagle eyed to have spotted the announcement. Where was it you first spotted it? It's AJAX based and therefore Java.

Google Alerts picked it up this late last night/early this morning...

The client is the same client that we're developing for the 5.0 release of Zimbra.

The server is essentially the 5.0 Zimbra server with a few important differences:

• It uses Apache Derby (a.k.a. Java DB) as an embedded SQL database rather than a separate standalone MySQL install
• It keeps a local cached copy of the user's account information in the Derby database instead of using a separate OpenLDAP server
• There's a builtin sync client that periodically pulls changes from the server and pushes local changes back up to the server
