Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products

Abbreviations

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 v7.6
<minor release> The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible. OX App Suite v7.6.1
<build number> The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps OX App Suite v7.6.1-Rev3
Public Patch Release / Patch Release A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:
  • It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch.
  • It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.
  • If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.
  • Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects.

Open-Xchange will roll 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.

While this does not have any negative impact in general, we like to raise awareness for potential edge-cases that require your attention, if you are using our software repositories at https://software.open-xchange.com/. This service will also use HSTS, and we identified potential connectivity issues in case the repository lists or mirrors on your end refer to plain HTTP. We have already updated the documentation to use HTTPS exclusively, but there may be cases where environments have been set up before that.

Please verify that all references to our software repositories, your egress network filtering and package managers are enabled to use HTTPS.

- For DEB based environments, make sure that the apt-transport-https package is installed and all URLs at /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ use the HTTPS URL scheme
- For RPM based environments, make sure that all URLs at /etc/yum.repos.d/ use the HTTPS URL scheme

For the duration of the support & maintenance period for release v7.10.5 nothing will change: Amazon Linux 2 & AWS RDS for MySQL and MariaDB Since OX App Suite v7.10.5
Open-Xchange announced the discontinuation of support for Debian Stretch (Debian 9) on 29th of July 2022. We encourage administrators to update to the latest operating system version.

For details of all supported browsers please refer to the requirements page at: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements#Desktop_Browser_.28Minimum_display_resolution:_1024_x_768.29 Since OX App Suite v7.10.5
Open-Xchange is pleased to announce that eM Client now has support for OX App Suite built into the standard eM Client product. As a consequence, Open-Xchange will discontinue the special "eM Client for OX App Suite" version. Support & maintenance for this version will end 31st of December 2020. We know that making product changes can sometimes be challenging, so we have teamed up with eM Client to make this change as easy as possible. Please visit https://www.emclient.com/emclient-for-ox to learn about the upgrade path and license options. By switching to the official eM Client product, you will benefit from increased update cycles and remove problems related to specific license checks. Since 2020-12-31
In accordance with the supported platform policy, Open-Xchange announces the discontinuation of support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (SLES 12), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and CentOS 6 with the next upcoming release of OX App Suite, planned for the next release. Additionally, Open-Xchange announces the discontinuation of support for Kerberos. Since OX App Suite v7.10.4
As a result of customer feedback, Open-Xchange will extend the active support commitment for OX App Suite v7.8.4 until 2020-06-30. Open-Xchange wants to allow extended upgrade time to OX App Suite v7.10.x for its customers. Please note, after 2020-06-30, Open-Xchange won't provide any new patches for OX App Suite v7.8.4 version. Additionally, Open-Xchange extends the official support of 7.10.2 until 2020-06-30. Since 2020-06-30
We would like to notify you that support for the following products will be discontinued from the 31st. March 2019. Open-Xchange Server 6, OX Hosting Edition, OX Server Edition, OX Mobile Web Interface and OX Notifier.
Open-Xchange Server 6, OX Hosting Edition and OX Server Edition, was the first generation of scalable email and collaboration software produced by Open-Xchange for hosted environments. Our second-generation product, OX App Suite, launched five years ago in early 2013, and as a consequence we have decided to discontinue support of Open-Xchange Server 6 and end all maintenance activities.
Please note: Open-Xchange Server 6 packages will still be available on our software repositories and will work with the middleware version v7.8.4. but we will not provide any support and maintenance activities. Of course, Open-Xchange is going to keep the Open Source software of those products available to the public. 		Since 2019-03-31
Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie. OX App Suite v7.10.x requires OpenJDK 8; OpenJDK 8 is a backport on Debian Jessie and Debian Jessie is currently in LTS (Long Term Support). Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31.
