| | |As previously announced, in April 2023, Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision to remove the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the next Public Patch at the end of July 2024. | ||

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP. | |||

The Open-Xchange versioning 2015 will be structured in the following way:
<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>
Abbreviation | Meaning | Comparison |

<generation> | The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more. | OX App Suite 7 |
<major release> | The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers. | OX App Suite v7.10 |

As previously announced, in April 2023, Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack. The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision to remove the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the next Public Patch at the end of July 2024. |

Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP. | 2023-06-01 |
