[horde] Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.2-RC1

[Jan Schneider]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the Horde
Groupware Webmail Edition version 1.2.

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.

Barring any problems, this code will be released as Horde Groupware Webmail
Edition 1.2.
Testing is requested and comments are encouraged.
Updated translations would also be great.

1.1.3 are:
     * Further stabilized synchronization support.
     * Improved deletion of user data.
     * Added SQL driver for signups.
