What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Improved performance: thanks to the configuration backend rewrite using Redis 2.0 and other optimizations, the responsiveness of the interface and the speed of other processes have greatly improved.
· Better installation process: in addition to the general performance improvements that also affect the installation speed, the package selection interface has been simplified, allowing to easily select profiles or individual packages on a single page. There is also a new wizard that allows you to get and use a free Basic Subscription with just one click.
· Usability improvements: we have reorganized menus and interfaces, and polished a lot of small details that make the Zentyal user experience much more satisfactory. Moreover, we have also added new features like the ability of adding objects or services in a popup dialog directly from the drop-down lists when adding a rule using them.
· New i18n system: the translation system has also improved a lot, the strings that were impossible to translate before are now fully translatable, and the translations are provided as separate language packages which can be independently installed and updated much more often, providing a much better international experience with Zentyal.
· Captive Portal: brand new module to allow Internet access only for authenticated users and also limit bandwidth consumption according to their quota.
· Administrator audit logging: keep track of all the configuration changes done by the different users with administration rights in Zentyal. This feature also notifies of the actions that are going to be applied before saving changes.
