Open-Xchange releases OX App Suite v8.35

This new release provides an update for OX App Suite v8.35. With every release of Open-Xchange's products we try to enhance functionality, improve stability, refine the user experience, and make operations easier.

Enhancements in OX App Suite v8.35

We are pleased to introduce the latest enhancements for OX App Suite. These are mainly focused on optimizing the user experience, technical performance, and reducing user accounts management effort.

• This update includes various improvements and fixes to enhance the usability, reliability, and overall experience.
• Updates have been made to enhance the user interface functionality, improved the search and the navigation, ultimately leading to more consistent mail handling.
• Mobile users also benefit from these UI refinements, together with general optimizations and stability enhancements.
• This update introduces a new 'Capability' that activates the Viewing of "XRechnung" files. This newly introduced capability document_preview_xrechnung enables the recognition and processing of XML data in the XRechnung format. More information can be found here https://documentation.open-xchange.c...converter.html
• Administrators now have the ability to convert a guest user account into a regular user account. This means the user can then continue to access to all files, folders, contacts, calendars and tasks. More information can be found here https://documentation.open-xchange.c.../00_index.html

General Information and Breaking Change

• Deprecation of spotahome/redis-operator support - In this release we depreciate the support for spotahome/redis-operator. We recommend administrators transition to an alternative Redis management solutions, such as the Bitnami Redis chart or other suitable alternatives. This functionality will be completely removed in a future release. Please plan your migration accordingly to avoid disruptions. More information can be found here https://documentation.open-xchange.c.../00_index.html
• We would like to notify you that the released OX App Suite v8.35 will be the first official Long Term-Support (LTS) release of our OX App Suite v8 generation. Long Term Support releases are intended to be released every year. The initial LTS release will be based on a carefully chosen standard release that contain all changes (features and bug fixes) since the last LTS. A LTS release will be supported until the next LTS 'plus six months'. Also, we would like to improve our support commitment strategy for OX App Suite v8.x standard releases. With the launch of v8.35 we will start to support, not just the current launched release, but also the last 'two' released version.
