> bugs. You should not use this preview version with existing production
> data. Migration of data from earlier versions has not been fully

>
> We encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing lists or our bug
> tracking system. Updated translations are very welcome, though some strings
> might still change before the release candidates are prepared.
>
> The installation method for Horde 4 has been changed to use the PEAR
> installer. To prepare your local PEAR installation to install software from
> Horde's PEAR server, run the following commands from the command line:
>
>   pear channel-discover pear.horde.org
>   pear install horde/horde_role-alpha
>   pear run-scripts horde/horde_role
>
> The last command will ask you for the filessystem location for your Horde
> installation. This should be some path in your web server's document root,
> e.g. /var/www/horde. These commands only need to be run once. You are now
> prepared to install, upgrade and uninstall Horde packages. To  
> install the alpha
> release of Horde, run the following commands:
>
>   pear install horde/horde-alpha
>
> Just go to the config/ directory of your Horde installation and copy
> conf.php.dist to conf.php:
>
>   cd /var/www/horde/config/
>   cp conf.php.dist conf.php
>
> Then point your browser to the installation location, go to the
> Administration/Configuration screen and start configuring. You probably want
> to:
>
> 1. Configure a real authentication backend!
> 2. Configure a database backend (Horde configuration, Database tab)
> 3. Install the database tables ("Update all DB schemas" button)
> 4. Configure any other applications you installed
>
> For more detailed installation and configuration instructions, e.g. how to
> install Horde from PEAR into a location other than the system default, please
> see https://github.com/horde/horde/blob/master/horde/docs/INSTALL.
>
> The major changes compared to the Horde version 3.3 are:
>
>     * Completely refactored component library for PHP 5
>     * Much easier installation through PEAR installer
>     * Simplified configuration process
>     * Frameless layout
>     * Grouping into advanced and simple user preferences
>     * Improved caching and reduced session sizes
>     * Much faster Share library
>     * Better Share support for large user basis
>     * Improved Image library
>     * Reduced dependency on external libraries
>     * Lots of improvements in all library components
>
> Please see our issue tracker for a list of open bugs on this release:
> http://bugs.horde.org/query/showstoppers4
