Selected changes in Zimbra 5.0.15

There have been over 500 changes to Zimbra since the 5.0.11 update, which was applied Thanksgiving 2008. The complete list is at Zimbra PM Web. Here are a few of the highlights of the currently installed 5.0.15:
  • Fixes for import/export of addressbooks as CSV. (Private bug 34180)
  • Control-S now only means "Save Draft." Previously, it could also mean "Send Message Now." The keystroke for "Send" is now Control-Enter. (Bug 34522)
  • Calendar should open more quickly. (Bug 34751)
  • Many fixes for the Outlook Connector. If you use Outlook, please download and install the latest version. The latest version of the Zimbra Connector for Outlook must be installed before the next server upgrade.
  • Calendar Resources can now be configured to accept appointments for
    some of the invitations in a recurring meeting if the number of conflicts for
    the resource is within the configured limit. The Maximum Allowed Number of
    Conflicts and the Maximum Allowed Percent of Conflicts can be configured
    from the Administration console. (Bug 35259)
  • Cleanup and documentation of Outlook registry settings. (See attachment to Bug 35196)
  • Calendar. When there are meeting changes to a
    shared calendar, the calendar is refreshed
    automatically to show the changes. Now admins
    who manage many calendars will automatically
    get updates as they make changes and will not
    need to hit refresh to update the calendars. (Bug 6082)
  • Corrections to free/busy search when exceptions to recurring meetings are involved. (Bug 34412)
  • Attaching a file from a child account sent a random file. This was fixed in late January. Now that the fix for this bug is applied, we can support GroupWise-style "proxy" functionality. (Bug 33312)
  • Several workarounds for iPhone and other mobile devices. (Bug 33979 and 35655 are two examples)
  • Canceled meetings show up in summary if user was invited to the exception but not the parent recurrence. (Bug 34743)
