The Horde Team is pleased to announce the final release of the Horde Groupware
Webmail Edition version 1.2.1.

This is a minor security release that adds another check to the XSS filter for
an Internet Explorer exploit and fixes unescaped output in the test.php
scripts. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. In addition all
users are encouraged to disable test.php in production, per the install
documentation.

Horde Groupware Webmail Edition is a free, enterprise ready, browser based
communication suite. Users can read, send and organize email messages with
three different webmail interfaces and manage and share calendars, contacts,
tasks and notes with the standards compliant components from the Horde
Project.

The major changes compared to the Horde Groupware Webmail Edition version 1.2
are:
     * Added another check to the XSS filter (only IE is vulnerable).
     * Escape output in address book's test.php
     * Deleted attachments are now marked as 'attachment' instead of 'inline'.
     * iTip replies are sent using the regular outgoing email configuration.
     * multipart/appledouble attachments are always displayed.
     * An import script for SquirrelMail preferences and contacts.
     * Consistent access keys.
     * Fix sharing with LDAP groups.
     * Several SyncML fixes.
     * Kolab fixes for free/busy URLs and photos.
     * prototype.js has been upgraded to 1.6.0.3.
     * Fixed included Date_Holiday package.
     * Fixed configuration files upgrades.
     * Fixed database generation on PostgreSQL.
