| Oct 31, 2001. A New Beginning |
|
UWOmail is no longer! A complete redesign and rebuild deserves
a new name. Encki mail is born.
Encki mail is now an active project on Source Forge.
Much of the code is complete and we're nearing the release of
the first beta version.
We are very excited about the new
Java based spell checker (Castaspell) that is being developed
by students at UWO. Our intentions
from the beginning have been to involve Western students and
faculty in the development of the application. Castaspell is
the first of hopefully many more contributions from the UWO community.

28 , 2001. UWOmail v0.4 Released |
| UWOmail
Version 0.4 is now available. This is the most stable version
and is recommended that you upgrade your distribution. We have
greatly improved attachment support, including a fix for the
IE5.5 content disposition bug. There is now detailed installation
instructions included with the distribution. |

| January 29, 2001. UWOmail v0.3 Released |
|
UWOmail Version 0.3 is a great improvement over previous versions. Our focus has
been security and performance. We have greatly reduced database access by authenticating
users with PHP rather than the database. User preferences are now stored as session variables
instead of querying the database in every script to get the user's preferences. The addressbook
has also been updated. User's can now choose between a Quick Entry and a Detailed Entry form
when adding or editing contacts. There are too many improvements to mention here, download
the new version and try it out.

| September
5, 2000. UWO agrees to use UWOmail |
| The
University of Western Ontario ITS department has agreed to use the UWOmail
e-mail package to provide students, faculty, and staff with
web based e-mail. The UWOmail development team is very pleased
with this decision and will work closely with the ITS during
the initial implementation. This is a great opportunity to test
UWOmail in a production environment with heavy usage. The University
of Western Ontario has tens of thousands of students, faculty,
and staff that will have access to the system. This kind of
usage will really test the system and allow us to evaluate how
we can improve system reliability and performance. |
