[announce] Horde 3.0 (final)

[Jan Schneider]

After three years of work, the Horde Team is very excited to announce the
final release of the Horde Application Framework Version 3.0.

The Horde Application Framework is a modular, general-purpose web application
framework written in PHP.  It provides an extensive array of classes that are
targeted at the common problems and tasks involved in developing modern web
applications.

Horde Version 3 differs from the 2.x releases in many ways, including the
following:
    * Full support for groups and arbitrary permissions.
    * Completely rewritten, fully RFC-compliant MIME system with many
      new MIME viewers.
    * Many i18n improvements, including full charset support for the whole
      framework.
    * User customizable portal page.
    * Theme support.
    * Global personal categories and category colors.
    * Access (shortcut) keys.
    * Dynamically updating tree menu for applications, including Mozilla
      sidebar support.
    * XML-based application configuration through a graphical user interface.
    * Forms creation and validation API.
    * Template engine.
    * Crypt API with support for PGP/GPG and S/MIME.
    * XML-RPC and SOAP server and client, experimental SyncML support.
    * Improved notification system.
    * Many new APIs like Compress, Image, PDF, History, iCalendar, SyncML,
      CLI, Version control, NLS, Timer, and SVG.
    * and many more...
