[ZendTo] ZendTo ANNOUNCE: New production release 4.28-1

[Jules]

Folks,

I have just released the latest version of ZendTo.

     http://zend.to/downloads.php

The main 2 improvements for this release are:

1. The HTML emails display properly on every email app I've tried them 
on (including Outlook, Thunderbird, GMail and Office365). I have 
re-implemented them from scratch.
2. There is a new "Multi" authentication back-end, which lets you use a 
list of authentication mechanisms instead of just one. So, for example, 
if you use Active Directory, but need to add a few local ZendTo users 
who are not in your AD, that's now very easy.

Otherwise it's bug-fixes.

For new installations, please use my Installer.

For upgrades, check the zend.to/downloads.php page to see if there are 
any relevant notes if you are upgrading from a very old version.
Otherwise the yum/apt repositories should provide what you need.
To help you upgrade your preferences.php and zendto.conf files, there 
are now 2 tools in /opt/zendto/bin: upgrade_preferences_php and 
upgrade_zendto_conf. Just run either of these on their own and they will 
show you how to use them.

Any problems, please do let me know!

Here's the full Change Log since version 4.27-1 (the last production 
release):

Version 4.28-1
- Production release.

Version 4.27-7
- Pickups from IPv6 addresses should work correctly now.

Version 4.27-6
- Email messages now render correctly in all the email clients I can test.

Version 4.27-5
- Outlook-friendly HTML email messages, that should render correctly.
   Note that the email-logo.png has moved into /opt/zendto/www/images/email.

Version 4.27-4
- Removed the large empty yellow space at the right end of the login box.
   This is a CSS change to swish.css (look for "width:" within "loginForm"),
   the value has changed from 550px to 500px.
- Fixed bug where errors during creation of a new drop-off were not shown
   in the resulting "New Dropoff" page.
- Added new preferences.php setting 'bccExternalSender'. If 'bccSender'
   is set to TRUE, then that Bcc will only be sent to *external* users if
   this new setting is also set to TRUE. By default it is set to FALSE so
   as not to confuse external senders.
- The parser for internaldomains.conf will now ignore any leading '*.'
   at the start of any line, to make it more tolerant of user errors.
- Re-enabled LDAPS support and added proper SSL and StartTLS support for
   LDAP authentication services.

Version 4.27-2
- Added new 'Multi' authenticator. This does no authentication directly
   itself. Instead you give it a list of authenticator names to try in
   sequence, each of which is configured as normal. See the new setting
   'authMultiAuthenticators' in preferences.php for more information.
- Fixed bug (again) where setting 'warnDaysBeforeDeletion' to 0 did not
   disable warning emails.
