Zentyal development team is proud to announce the release of Zentyal 3.5, a new Zentyal Server Community Edition. Zentyal Server is the open source alternative to Windows Small Business Server, including native replacements to Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange Server.

Highlights

Among all the changes Zentyal 3.5 introduces, we would like to put the focus on:

  • New base distribution: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty)
  • Removal of synchronization with OpenLDAP
  • Support for Microsoft Outlook 2010 and inbox refresh improved
  • Removal of some modules (L7 Filter, FTP, Zarafa, User Corner, Captive Portal and Bandwidth Monitor) to focus in the rest

Upgrading

The migration from Zentyal 3.4 to 3.5, not only affects Zentyal but also involves a Ubuntu base distribution upgrade.

To upgrade you only need to upgrade first to the last available 3.4 packages and a button will appear on the dashboard. Alternatively, you can also do it from the shell with:

sudo /usr/share/zentyal/release-upgrade
