I'm sure there'll be a formal announcment later but for anyone who's interested, the first beta of Zimbra 4.5 is available for download from sourceforge in the Developers Build section. Remember, this is a BETA version so take care with your data - do the usual backups before the install etc., etc.
As usual it's a flawless upgrade. The Zimbra team have done a lot of work in this release and I, for one, would like to congratulation them for their efforts for producing such a magnificent product.
