Upgrade to pre-release 5.0.19 successful
[Updated - this planned upgrade was successful]
Zimbra Gold partner host and consultant 01.com, Inc. plans to upgrade its Zimbra cloud hosting environment to version 5.0.18+ from 5.0.18. This is a special upgrade, a pre-release of 5.0.19, prepared for 01.com by Zimbra and fixes a security issue in addition to bugs described below.
To accomplish this upgrade, service in the 01.com Zimbra groupware hosted service may be interrupted between the hours of 10PM CDT (GMT – 5) Saturday night, August 29, until about 2AM CDT Sunday morning, August 30, 2009.
We apologize for any inconvenience this down-time may cause to clients of the 01.com Zimbra cloud, and expect the benefits of the upgrade to materially outweigh the drawback of down-time during a scheduled maintenance period.
Pre-upgrade testing of version 5.0.18+ will be completed by this time.
01.com typically stays within 30 days of the latest Zimbra release. Select enhancements include:
- Bug 32536 http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=32536 FIXED 5.0.19
