6.0.7 Status

[quote user="steeef"]I appreciate thoroughness, but I've got a few people waiting on some serious bugs with the Outlook connector, and from what I can see the blocking issues for 6.0.7 all have to do with Zimbra Desktop. In the past I've been able to download beta versions of the connector from the support portal, but I've seen nothing since 6.0.6 was released. Is there any chance of getting an update ZCO early?[/QUOTE]Not sure what you're referring to with respect to ZD, but about ZCO, we discovered several serious bugs (47752, 47645, and 47843) in the days leading up to 6.0.7--too late to be targeted for that release. Support has told us that they'll give us updated ZCOs to test as they become available. So, to begin with, you might try opening a case or cases for the bugs that concern you, and request that the betas be supplied to you personally.
But I agree that once Zimbra is reasonably sure that a given beta ZCO successfully addresses a major bug and is safe to use, it would be good if they'd make it SOP to post it to the support portal. Not to take anything away from the folks who work on ZCO, or the challenges of making things work with MS Outlook, but issues arising from ZCO (particularly in the area of group calendaring) do the most to damage confidence in Zimbra in my organization. The sooner that patched ZCOs can be proactively deployed the better.

Is there a big difference between builds 2470 and 2473 that are worth d/ling 465 mB?
I've already upgraded to 6.0.7_GA_2470.RHEL5_64_20100610202350 and don't really want to bother with 6.0.7_GA_2473.RHEL5_64.20100616202447 unless it's going to patch something major....

On both the OSE and NE downloads page you'll find a little note that states: [QUOTE]Version 6.0.7.1 build 2473 corrects bugs 48095 and 48129.[/QUOTE]

Ah, thanks Elliot - My email from Zimbra has a direct link to the file, not a page, so I wasn't sure where to find that info without downloading the whole shebang and reading the release notes.
Looks like those bugs do affect us, so I guess I'll be updating again soon.

What happened with the Nokia E72 bug? This was fixed in the 6.0.7, but was later removed?

I have customers using Nokia E72 waiting for the bug resolution.. I don't get why isn't it already on 6.0.7..

One thing I have seen which has cropped up with 6.0.7 is users having problems printing from shared folders. Fix two bugs and a new one occurs.

@quietas regarding that printing issue we may have a 6.0.7.1.P1 out late next week that fixes Bug 48149 - Problems with printing from shared mboxes & Bug 41909 -Conversations in shared folders cannot be printed > Bug 46552 - NumberFormatException when trying to print a virtual conversation
Along with Bug 48296 - Not able to send message with from address of external account (POP or IMAP) & Bug 48146 - Select Addresses dialog no longer pre-populates list from Contacts
At this time we don't have a full installer build 6.0.7.1.1 or 6.0.7.2 planned, it would be just a patch to be applied on top of existing 6.0.7.1 instances only, for those who need it earlier than 6.0.8

That's great to hear. I'd gladly run a patch and I'm extremely happy to see smaller, more responsive patches for more pressing issues. It's a nice change from some of the previous glitches which took sometimes months to fix "with the next patch".
