After a loong silence in the Zimbra camp ( apart from the occasional 5.0 point release ), we have more information about the next major Zimbra release! While it versioned as 5.5 in the past, it has now been changed straight to 6.0.
Current milestones are:

  • Beta 1 12/17/08
  • Beta 2 01/19/09
  • RC 1 02/23/09
  • GA 03/23/09

Since it’s a pretty long road until the GA version, those days will probably slide a bit.

Features include Ubuntu 8.04 LTS support ( BETA in 5.0 ), “Disaster recovery via server-to-server sync” ( which sounds really nice, not sure what exactly it will do yet ), and others found here.
